Recs if you like Carry On...

vampires who try to ethically source blood, to varying degrees of success

You liked Harry Potter but you’re angry at the author for being a huge transphobe and you would like some alternatives because you don’t want to give money to her so she can finance transphobia and you have enough of Harry Potter’s racist stereotypes like Cho Chang and other problematic themes in this saga? You’re in the right place! I haven’t read all, if some are misplaced, let me know! Also, if you want more fantasy recs, I have a queer fantasy list! It is addressed to different ages.

MLM enemies to lovers (please suggest more I need them haha)

these book titles are all recognizable song lyrics! (though some have adjusted a word or two)

as always, suggestions are welcome!

A non-comprehensive list of Queer books.

the staples of the book community on youtube in the early to mid 2010s.

Self-contained SFF books that belong to a series, offering a complete story without a multi-book commitment. A perfect way to sample immersive worlds while limiting potential disappointment – yet still leaving more to explore if you liked it.

Something sapphic this way comes 🏳️‍🌈✨ (and also something queer in general bc I am here for all the queer in all the witchy settings, but there are a looooot more sapphic witch books than any other LGBTQ identity so that will take up the majority of the list!)

books w sense of humor (or voice) that's A) so subtle and cleverly disguised you could blink and miss it B) so blatant it's like being hit over the head C) so outrageous it's honestly just absurd D) drier than the sahara desert E) rather tongue-in-cheek F) all (or at least more than one) of the above

(some are more obvious than others since some are clearly intended to be satirical and others were just written in such a dry voice it made me chortle)

Sometimes Vamps suck more than one way

The goal: to have the most comprehensive complete list of vampire books, fiction and otherwise, in the world. Then? I’ll read them all.

Please send recs <3

It's Dracula Day! So we've picked out some of our favorite books featuring queer vampires. Beware of expected bites. (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators! A group of us collaborate to make these recommendations.)

My fave MM romances (most are hockey related lol)!

curated list of my fave fiction that have authentic and in-depth portrayals of the bi+ experience—often through intersections with gender expansiveness and the aromantic/asexual spectrums—as attraction that transcends gender, and/or the unique simultaneous embodiment of homosexuality and heterosexuality.

Books with varying degrees of fantasy where the main pairing is gay (M/M)

Open to recommendations in the comments 💛

books that are published fanfic or feel like they could be a published fanfic

Women, men, and an urgent need to get your shit together…

Channeling my inner Dom Toretto. Whoever said you can’t choose your family never experienced the joy of the found family trope!

Books with friendships so strong, they might as well be family. Some fun, some bittersweet, some toxic.

This list is incomplete, I’ve just added books that I have read and know are found family so please please please give me recommendations!

In October 2021, Texas State Representative Matt Krause initiated an inquiry targeting a list of approximately 850 books in Texas public schools, alleging they could cause "discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress" regarding race or sex. The list disproportionately targeted LGBTQ+ topics, race/racism, and sex education.

This is my project to read through this list for myself - utilizing my local library system for access to these titles. Follow the journey or join along!
