Recs if you like The Most Unusual Haunting of Edgar Lovejoy...

Urgently seeking suggestions, any and all input is welcome! A list for men in sci-fi/fantasy who are pathetic, reminiscent of kicked dogs, described as poor little meow meows, drowning in their own emptiness, and/or generally have an intense aura of being a sad loser with no life. Having a capacity to be fixed is entirely optional. If you want to demonstrate why a man is a loser, feel free to do so at great length in the comments so that we all may further our studies in male patheticology.

Reading suggestions for the Trans Rights Readathon! (Any year of course). Books with trans characters of any label (or any non-cis gender identity) by trans/non-cis authors. I have not read all the books in this list. Feel free to name your fave books by trans authors in the comments!

I tried to include most books I know or that have been recommended that either have transfem, transmasc or nonbinary main characters. I only add first in series!

Fiction reads with non-binary characters and/or by non-binary authors

This includes gender fluid, agender, two-spirit, and any other gender identities outside of the binary labels.

See my trans Rights readathon suggestions masterlist for more trans reads! 🏳️‍⚧️

(Under construction 🏗 🚧 many more books to be added! Suggestions welcome!)

books w/ full names in the title (mostly fiction)

What more could you need?

Books with LGBTQIA+ characters that also feature ghosts, spirits, or death-adjacent characters 🪦✨️

Feel free to comment your recommendations!

Creepy books made better because there are queer characters

Please let me know if there are any I should add.

The vibe is all things witchy, paranormal and spooky romances. Creatures like vampires, werewolves and zombies also accepted. Plus points for Halloween vibes!

adult genre romance stories where at least one main character is trans and/or non-binary! i haven’t necessarily read or recommend all the books included here; please lmk if anything is incorrect. Also this list is white and transmasc leaning so def please leave any recs in the comments! i’ve mainly excluded erotica, as my goal for this list is genre romance, but most books listed do contain sexual scenes (varying levels of explicitness)

fun/casual lgbt books. predominantly contemporary romance, trying to avoid lit fic. more for when i am looking for a palette cleanse.

In which a main character sees ghosts 👻

Tales of supernatural entities and folklore-inspired stories set in the magical city of New Orleans.

This shall become the place where I geather all the books with nonbinary representattion / written by nonbinary authors (not sure yet if both). I have not read most of them but rather have them from lists, feel free to suggest more, or report falsly added books

Adult novels, novellas, short stories, and graphic novels prominently featuring non-binary characters across genres. Many stories lean horror and/or erotic 🔞🔞🔞

Recommendations welcome!

✦ I have not read all of these books - if you notice anything that seems to be mis-labeled/mis-placed on this list, please let me know! ✦

Stress relief through easy reads & humor

Includes but not limited to: fluff, comedy, cozy/comfort, banter, plain-ol’-laughs, fun-no-plot, ridiculousness (writing ranging from okay to fantastic but they’re all worth it)

Can’t be bothered with the world or seriousness? Need a break for your brain and soul? Rest here & treat yourself!

[please REC other helpful prescriptions - ⭐️ bonus if queer ] - thank you fellow pharmacy volunteers 🙏🏻

Mostly: adult-audience fiction, some YA & youth titles often appreciated by all ages.

"Sob sob sob life as a fish was much too hard"

Tall, dark and morally ambiguous has its time and place okay? But sometimes we just need the love of a sweet, sweet man who would never harm us 😌

Edited to add: do you KNOW how hard it was to find even five books?? I had to scroll back through my finished reads all the way to 2021! 😂 either I have Tall, dark and morally ambiguous taste, or it’s a rare trope. Either way, now starts my mission to seek them out. This will be a mix of genres, m/f m/m and possibly trigger warnings.

queer? yes. fall? halloween? spooky? fantasy? mystical? all and more? yes probably?!

Books that got even better when they started smoking (best served with your own buzz)!
