Recs if you like Escaping Exodus (Escaping Exodus, #1)...

Representations of the Black experience through fantasy, science fiction, and speculative fiction. Recommendations welcome!

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

space can be quite terrifying, especially when you're isolated in unknown territory and know that it is unlikely that someone will come to your aid.

these are books to fuel your space related nightmares.

"we left the ground behind. we left the oceans. we left the air. we watched these things grow small. we watched them shrink into a point of light... we are the children who continue on."

Stories with a sapphic main character of color, across genres and age groups. 🔞

Recommendations welcome!

books by black authors and/or with black characters

this is my favorite niche. all of my favorite books are this. if you like gays and sci fi you might find some new favorites too (constantly updating as I find more btw)

Books I saved from my TikTok feed that were labelled as Science Fiction!

gays in space (or I guess sometimes dealing with space shit on earth), with a tending toward optimistic futures. this list will continue to grow and change over time. this list includes trans folks, queercore, and graphic novels.

if a book is part of a series, I'm only listing the first book just so the list doesn't get overrun.

science fiction about people living and working on space ships or space stations, in the near or far future.

“from the ground, we stand. from our ships, we live. by the stars, we hope.”

A list of books in the SciFi/Fantasy genre that heavily feature polyamory. Excludes harem romances, but includes other forms of romance.

Do you feel like you've read everything there is to read? Or get annoyed that the same books are on all the rec lists? Well, here are some more obscure masterpieces!

Some of the covers are terrible - especially among the older or self-pubbed books; there's a few YA in here; and some that are science fantasy rather than 'pure' sci fi. But trust me: they're all EXCELLENT. (And if you already love a bunch of these, let's be friends!)

Fantasy and sci-fi books where much of the plot is driven by politics

Fantasy ebooks available through the Kobo Plus subscription. If you have any recommendations, please let me know! For book series, I've only put the first book, but the entire series will usually be available. For some series, the first book is also free but the rest are available through Kobo Plus.

I love the Pagebound community but the one thing I don’t like about the app is how it incentives sticking to popular books more likely to have a decent amount of posts. (Granted some of this has to do with it being a little new) It’s my experience however that the hidden gems or even just less popular books are often just as if not more interesting as the best sellers.

So this is my list of books with 5 posts or less that I think deserve more love.

All of it. I'm not sorry. Books set in outer space or involving space travel and featuring queer main characters.

Sci-fi & queer. And with spaceships, too!

Books where the cover features only one person
