Recs if you like Bloom...

LGBT*+ graphic novels / comics / manga +

Fluff to smut, including 18+ etc aka not exclusive to anything specific other than being queer content (queer & queer-rep inclusive stories). I have read a good handful of the ones now at the bottom of the list. Includes intended middle-grade-ish-level youth content to adult audience content.

In progress / updated over time

(recs highly welcome) Attempting a highly exhaustive list.

Books about food, either non-fiction or foodie fiction

I’m aiming to read 100 queer graphic novels, so here’s my list of the ones I’ve already read and the ones I plan to read. There might not be 100 books on the list yet, as I’m still gathering them all together.

Graphic novels and manga in which gay people bake and cook

I have spent years curating a list of graphic novels for myself on goodreads and I thought this place would be great to share it and share my love for graphic novels. I’m not picky about the plot or topics of the graphic novels I read so the list is pretty much any graphic novel I have heard of regardless of topic. Many are middle grade or young adult as is the general trend of the format but recommendations for more (especially adult) would be greatly appreciated.

Also manga is not included.

A list of queer graphic novels! 🥰 I'll update this list as I go. Some of these have queerness as their main topic and some have queer side characters. For series I only added the first volume. (Edit: in "Dungeon Club" queerness becomes a more important topic later on in the series.) I'm happy to add stuff, feel free to comment! 🌟

Ah yes, this ol' issue that has plagued librarians and bookstore clerks for decades.

And sometimes you find the right book, but... can you even call that shade blue?

Books that have a high focus on food. Food in the title, food on the cover, baking/cooking as a career/hobby, etc.

a bunch of recommendations from my most-read genre 💕

Queer graphic novels that I've been able to check out from my public library!!

mlm stories !! this is very much not a recommendations. if there are other books you think i should add let me know !!

as the title says: comics or graphic novels featuring LGBT+ character(s)! always looking for more recommendations 🫶

A variety of books recommended by a librarian (appropriate for students aged 11-16 as well).

Fiction books (ya, adult, graphic novels, manga, and more) that center queer joy and friendship. There can be sadness mixed in as that is life, but the relationships themselves are loving and joyful.

graphic novels, webtoons, mangas are all included only the first volumes of series have been added

A list of non-erotic graphic novels with queer protagonists or queer relationships that don't hinge on anybody dying or being killed.
