Recs if you like But How Are You, Really...

An emergent subgrene by and about strange women on themes of female rage, sisterhood, hunger, attraction, beauty, motherhood, violence, and much more.

I love reading romances between men and women where one or both of the characters are bi because it shows the potential of bi people to fall in love with any gender, if that makes sense. So often bi people in “straight” relationships don’t get clocked as LGBTQ+ and I like seeing how they make a “straight” relationship queer. It’s also nice to read about LGBTQ+ outside of achillian and sapphic stories and spaces. I’m always on the hunt for more.

reading diversely is not a trend. it’s the bare minimum. and if your shelves don’t reflect that, you’re missing out.

Romance novels where the MCs are an MF couple that is straight-presenting, but one or both is/are queer

This list features book covers illustrated or designed by New York-based artist Vi-An Nguyen. Her work boasts bold typography, minimalist illustrations, and bright, contracting colours on beautifully textured backgrounds. Her cartoons are often featured in The New Yorker.

Books with pride flags on the cover art! Or using other design elements to obviously evoke a pride flag.

A mix of fiction and nonfiction. Recs welcome.

A list of books with spice/open doors that ranges from mild to hot hot hot. (P.s. romance doesn't have to be the main genre)

Finally books where the queers are the main characters and not just background characters. #MainCharacterEnergy ✨️
