Shamelessly yoinked from a certain other reading app that shall not be named... this is a list of recently published (2025-2026) LGBTQ+ fiction across a spectrum of genres and identities!

(Disclaimer: I haven't read most of these, but so many compelling covers made me want to save them all in a list to continue referencing into the future.)

thrillers and/or mysteries with queer main characters. suggestions welcome!

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