Oh my darlin', Clementine
This list was started due to a discussion of main characters named Clementine that happened with @makiki in the Weird Overlaps club post. If you find another book with a MC (or worthy side character) named Clementine, let me know so I can add it!

2026 Queer Releases
Every year we get more and more queer books in more and more diverse genres and I for one would like to roll around in all of them from sheer joy 🙂↕️ since I can’t do that here is a list to metaphorically roll around in instead.
Disclaimer: all books had 2026 releases at the time of adding. The publishing industry does change things around though.
