Just because you are queer doesn't mean you have your life together
Asexual Representation
Fiction and non-fiction in which a main character, prominent supporting character, or narrator is canonically/confirmed to be on the asexual (ace) spectrum.
๐Canon: Confirmed by either the text or original creator. (Subtextual/implied and circumstantial characters can be found on my other ace list)
โDisclaimer: I have not read all these books. Please feel free to correct me in the comments if I have made a mistake in my research. Or if you have any new titles to recommend.
Competitive Queers
Sport (fictional + real) and competition queer romance recommendations!
Feel free to leave your own recommendations in the comments and I will add them to the list! :)

Eclectic choices of stories to forget life sucks.
I didnโt say it was good, I said I liked it
Cult classics, guilty pleasures, popcorn reads, addictive stories in dire need of an editor, just some good old fun โ these are books with an average enjoyment rating that is at least 0.5 stars higher than the average quality rating. This is a purely objective criterion and doesnโt necessarily reflect my personal opinion on quality or enjoyment of these books. Suggestions welcome! Please also inform me when I messed up the math/the ratings changed, thatโs bound to happen sooner or later.

You Even Read Gay!
A non-comprehensive list of Queer books.
Demisexuals for the Win
Stories featuring demi leads, for those of us who live vicariously through our booksโจ
Demisexuality may not be explicitly disclosed or outright discussed in these books; I did my best to find stories with a main lead that presents as demi. Recs are encouraged!!
Queer Sports Romance
Whether it's about the romance or the sport or both, these books at the very least contain characters who practice and/or care about sports, are part of the LGBTQIA+ community, and possibly do the kissy
alphabet soup group
Books on my TBR with LGBTQIA+ characters or themes.

WTF is wrong with Andrew

โจ๏ธ๐โจ๏ธThe power of friendshipโจ๏ธ๐โจ๏ธ
Maybe the one piece was the friendships we made along the way.
These are all the suggestions the community graciously provided after I asked for friendship book recs (plus some of my own).
This list include all types of friendship dynamics from wholesome and life-affirming to toxic and obsessive. Enjoy!
