Recs if you like Local Heavens...

A list for books based on the works of other writers (or: authors copying each other’s homework 🙂‍↕️). Suggestions welcome!

the coquette femme aesthetic is of the utmost importance

If we are going to do Qwordy's the Hardest Reading Challenge You'll Ever Do 3.0 - we should probably get some Pagebound badges along the way! I'm specifically going to be adding books from Quests and readalongs that I think matches at least one of these cover prompts: craft, food, motion, biomes/landscapes, animals, weather.

Every single Aardvark Book Club book pick since its inception. Updated monthly!

because it's almost 2026 and we need to move on from techno-orientalist cyberpunk works!!!

Now that we are all waiting for the new side stories after the ending of Arcane there is a huge empty space begging to be satisfied with the same feeling of season one (mostly, season two went very middle class and we lost the potential of what could have been one of the greatest revolutionary stories in recent media)

Criteria for the books consist generally • Class schisms • Political intrigue • Moral questions of privilege and responsibility • Picks with queer stories

Books that I think have beautiful front covers. Open for recommendations!

Books by Filipino authors that I love/are on my tbr suggestions are welcome! :)

Books on my TBR with LGBTQIA+ characters or themes.

Books that are just as good as the cover promises. AKA: Fantastic book covers that also happen to be fantastic books! List will be added to in the future because I can’t leave well enough alone. (Suggestions welcome, leave it in the comments.)

Classic lit and fairytales all retold or remixed in a different way featuring queer characters.

Tiny imprints by bookish influencers

are you kind of annoyed that all sci fi books seem to be set in space and then don't engage with science fiction at all beyond spacefaring? do you want more science fiction that challenges how far science can go without leaving the stratosphere? this list is for you!

I have no idea what I am doing here exactly. Just prioritising deconstructions/confrontations of the white, Western 'classic' canon for now, however the goalposts/parameters might change!

Not intending this to be exhaustive - there are many lists on Austen, Dickens, The Great Gatsby retellings etc already! Just a few remixes for a range of classics.

📌 List of books and what they retell in pinned comment.

🚧 In Progress! 🚧

Recommendations are welcome 😊

This started out as a list for some of my friends after a discussion whilst watching PHM. All of us had enjoyed the book, but there were some things about the plot that we felt the film did better, mainly the female characters. Since Sci-Fi is my favourite genre, I wanted to share some recs that made me love it as well as books that were on my radar After browsing the other lists and not seeing anything similar, I felt like I wanted to share it here too. Recs are welcome and encouraged!

Retellings of classics, fairy tales and myths with a queer twist

Nominees and winners of every category of the Good Reads Choice Awards for the year of 2025. Some books overlap so they were only entered once.

your fave iconic lesbian books were written by bi+ authors!!!

mostly to oppose the erasure of essential bisexual participation in lesbian literature and misinformation that bi+ women broadly prefer mlm to wlw. most of these authors have several sapphic books so make sure to check out the rest! many are also nonbinary, trans and/or on the aro/ace spectrums so please be mindful of their pronouns, labels (or lack thereof) and gender identities. suggestions welcomed!
