Recs if you like The Obake Code...

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!

Basically, a huge list of books from all genres featuring sapphic characters, whether bisexual, lesbian, butch, femme, or anything in between.

Includes fiction and nonfiction. Books with spice, and books with very little romance alike. You may find epic lady knights, pirates, ancient vampires or just weird girl adventures, heartbreaking stories or cozy books of found family and queer joy. Memoirs, historical fiction, instruction manuals, maybe even a poem or two.

Welcoming suggestions<3

We should all be reading queer, all year, but this list is full of upcoming queer books of all makes and models coming out in 2026. If you have a rec to add, just please keep in mind we’re looking for 2026 releases!

collecting all 2026 releases featuring sapphic romance!!

sci-fi visions of BIPOC cultures on other planets or in space. recommendations always welcome!

Disclaimer: I am not Pacific Islander, but we should all strive to read more Pasifika authors!

The grouping of Pasifika and Asian communities has a complex history. And because of this grouping, Pasifika authors are largely underrepresented.

Check out Pacific Islanders in Publishing (I cannot figure out how to hyperlink, sorry) for more recs!

I have not read all of the books on this list, so please let me know if any are not fit for this list!

Suggestions are always welcome!

So many sapphic books are coming out this year, and I’m so excited to read every single one!

Queer sci-fi 💫 (Not always in space, I think I've covered most sci-fi subgenres)

Books with a transmasc/enby character with a love interest with a woman may be primary or minor romance and minor part of the story. But mostly just trying to create a list to read because most of the books I read with transmasc are romantically linked with men, so feel free to recommend or correct me.

Stories with romantic and/or sexual plots between women and non-binary characters (including dynamics with more than 2 characters), across genres and age groups. 🔞

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! ✦

Fiction books with at least one main character identifying as Asian and LGBTQ (queer and/or trans) — continuously updated!

What it says on the tin :) In the past year, I've seen numerous posts, comments, videos about wanting more Sci-Fi books written by women/nb authors. Surprisingly, I did not find a list on pagebound already made for this topic, so I wanted to create one! I'd also love a quest for this too someday :) I also want this list to not only be Sci-Fi written by women/nb authors, but centering authors from marginalized communities.

Books about queer people breaking the law and committing crimes.

From found family vibes between a ragtag crew to (yes) fucking big blue alien creatures, these are the stories a book lover who grew up obsessed with Star Wars yearns for
