Recs if you like For the Plot: Stone Siblings Series Book One (The Stone Siblings Series 1)...

Books about asexuality, be they non-fiction or novels. Everyone should read at least one asexual book from time to time.

Rep is usually the main character but sometimes side characters. 🏳️‍🌈 ♠️

Yes, demi folks are included on this list!

Books with fat and plus size main characters. (leave a comment with recommendations!)

Romance books to read for the aesthetic (usually cartoon covers because I’m trash for character art)

Fiction and non-fiction in which a main character, prominent supporting character, or narrator is canonically/confirmed to be on the asexual (ace) spectrum.

📓Canon: Confirmed by either the text or original creator. (Subtextual/implied and circumstantial characters can be found on my other ace list)

❕Disclaimer: I have not read all these books. Please feel free to correct me in the comments if I have made a mistake in my research. Or if you have any new titles to recommend.

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.

Romances with Fat MCs for you to fall in love with in any subgenre! Some I have read, some are on my tbr.

Books about main characters with gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, including, among other things, IBD, IBS, celiac disease, and gastritis, across genres and age ranges. Made by someone whose IBS is currently flaring up. Suggestions welcome!

Romance books with (at least) 2 bisexual main characters.

Bartenders, sommeliers, and distillers in love. Recommendations enthusiastically accepted, especially for queer romance!

Romance books with neurodivergent characters. This primarily includes ADHD and autism but I also included some with dyslexia and sensory processing disorder representation as well.

AKA: I love you almost as much as I love books

Romances and rom-coms with at least one main character who works in/around/with books (editor, publisher, author, seller, librarian, professor, etc)

Always open to suggestions!

Romance books with a main character with ADHD.

Books where one of the MCs is a plus size king/queen!

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

Romance novels with a MMC in a larger body—dadbod, chubby, plus size, fat, etc.

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.

Because we don't grow out of it 😄

Exciting books releasing in September of 2025!
