Recs if you like Voyage of the Damned...

fantasy murder mysteries yayy

novels, novellas, and graphic novels set in queernormative worlds. (most are within the genre of fantasy.) we all deserve to feel at home

Books with protagonists (or love interests) who are sexually or romantically attracted to people regardless of their sex or gender.

Sometimes the word is used on the page, and someone times it has been inferred. Just trying my best.

Perfect for fantasy lovers with not enough hours in the day!

Feel free to mention any I missed in the comments 😊

Eclectic choices of stories to forget life sucks.

Books that take place mostly if not entirely on public/private transportation

the sea cares not for those who sail it, yet sail they do

No just pirate books! This list includes any tale that takes place (mostly) on a ship at sea.

books with bisexual characters (even if they end up with the opposite sex THEY'RE STILL BI)

Unhinged and chaotic queer stories that are beyond entertaining (and in some ways, very disturbing as the best are haha!)

Queer genre fiction set in a world different from our reality, whether set in a different time, a different world, or in a version of our world but with different rules. Perfect for the reader looking for a little escapism in their next queer read 📚✨

A non-comprehensive list of Queer books.

Books with shiny iridescent covers, because your shelf needs some sparkle. Sometimes also called "rainbow foil" or "holographic".

⚠️ You may need to check alternate covers since I can't set specific editions to display in the list (yet)!

If you know of an edition that has shiny bits that change colour in light, drop it in the comments!

be gay do ✨magic ✨ usually just the 1st book in the series

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

A list of all the books featured as monthly picks for the Illumicrate Sub. ◽️ Not Including sequels or special editions outside of the monthly sub.◽️ I will include new books about a month after release to avoid spoilers.

A list of books from A-Z. I tried to include various genres to appeal to a wide array of readers. I wanted this to be a good reference list for anyone doing an alphabet reading challenge or anyone just looking for a new book to read!

A fantasy book for every letter. I tried to get a real mix of different stories from a variety of authors, each book beginning with a different letter of the alphabet, (not including 'the', 'a', 'an'). I hope you enjoy!

frequently i am like, "why do i love this story so much-- oh, it's found family on a ship"

Standalone books worth a read or repeat!
