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!

Reminiscent of a hitman smoking a cigarette outside the city's most exclusive club while texting their ex-situationship at 3:23 am

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.

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

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

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

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 on my TBR with LGBTQIA+ characters or themes.

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

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.)

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.

(mostly sapphic) good queer books on my personal wishlist that have an added benefit of looking beautiful on the shelf!

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!

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.
