Books that illustrate some aspect of the immigrant experience - in fantasy, or in the real world; in childhood, or in old age; in history, or in the modern day. (work in progress - recs welcome!)

Short story, essays, comics, and/or poetry collections focusing on queer and trans folks. Please note: there are some collections listed where not every story is queer, but there is intersectionality, and since that is important, I have included them.

An on-going attempt to track Asian authors in my Interested/TBR (and hopefully Finished) categories. Books are generally fiction/lit fic/fantasy with some memoirs. Authors span West to East Asia, the Asian diaspora, and mixed-race folx.

Queer books and books written by queer authors that are featured in the indie game "Tiny Bookshop", a cosy bookstore management life sim by the studio Neoludic

Queer (& Trans, Two-Spirit +) poets

In-progress/Updated over time Recommendations highly welcomed! Seeking intersectional works esp.

Single work per author listed (unless an anthology of multiple authors works)

what can i say? my boy has taste™. bonus points if you read the same as Nick and Charlie! We see them with 10 Things I Hate About Plato by Jack Maddox and Queer City by Peter Ackroyd!

All fiction books that appear in the Tiny Bookshop catalogue! Would sort them by genre as I read along.

Books on my TBR with LGBTQIA+ characters or themes.

poetry collections from queer poets <333

my attempt at collecting queer books so our history doesn't become lost + to hopefully interest others within it too.
