Recs if you like Tidesong...

JK Rowling is a bigot who uses her platform to hurt transfolks and other marginalized groups (plus she literally just quoted Mein Kampf on the bird site). If you're still supporting her in 2025, don't bother talking to me.

Books with queer pirates, sailors, mermaids, sirens, and other ocean-related creatures (selkies & co are also welcome!) across age groups. Features erotica 🔞

Recommendations welcome!

Graphic Medicine is… (an actual term) graphic novels, manga, comics, and visual representation engaging with health and healthcare - from health diagrams visual pamphlets to a graphic novel including health story or rep.

Note: I have NOT read all of these. It’s more a collection of a genre than intended as a recommendation. Do your research! :)

Mostly adult, YA, MG, and some other youth/ all ages titles

In-progress / updated over time Reccomendations welcome

graphic novels (and a lil manga, the occasional picture book…) — fantasy or otherwise — with a fairytale vibe.

Who TF needs JKR anymore? We got way better books out there dude

You're curious about graphic novels, but feel overwhelmed by the market? Or you're not opposed to comics on principal, but not into superheroes? Here are standalone volumes and short series for different tastes - graphic novels are more than DC and Marvel/superheroes :)

Books recommended by: 2you stories, Cari can read, Anya’s cottage and amomentofwonder.

There are MANY different kinds of dragons, here are some books that feature them♡

Comics that are either Western or in full-color that have clear visual ties to the tumblr art wave of shojou manga influenced works. (This does not include the later post-internet art of sharp contrast high saturation art.)

Shojou, adventure, whatever. If it mainly uses manga eyes (there are variations of eye design in manga, but I'm going for the best know, one line on top one line on bottom, where both lines do not connect to each other.)

A lot of cozy fantasy. Not all romance books on here are cozy. Some manga is in here too.
