Recs if you like You Should Be So Lucky...

Because we‘d all kneel for a cute nerd (or bespectacled hottie in general) 🥵📚 Collection of romance books where the MMC wears glasses and looks fabulously hot in them 😍 Bonus points if there is a scene where he takes them off to kiss his partner harder 🔥🌶️ Recommendations are always very much welcome (also I haven‘t read every single book on here, so please feel free to correct me if one doesn‘t fit)

are all of those historical fiction? probably not. are all of those queer? well of course.

Historical fiction books with queer characters

Sport (fictional + real) and competition queer romance recommendations!

Feel free to leave your own recommendations in the comments and I will add them to the list! :)

Exactly what it says! Done watching Heated Rivalry? Waiting for the rest of the Game Changers books to come in at the library? I've got you covered!

Also a good list if you're dipping your toe into thinking about romance as 'real' reading - these books will give you nuance, social justice, magic systems, empowerment, and all of them will give you supportive queer love and nice warm feels. Not all sports, though there's many of those in here. Welcome to reading romance, friends!

from swooning over prolonged eye contact at a ball with the ton, to intense yearning between two really good friends in 1960s New York, here are some historical romances to get you hooked on the best subgenre

I went through all the books in the romance quest tab and here are all the ones where at least one of leads is in a relationship that is not "man and woman falling in love with each other." F/F, M/M, F/NBi, M/NBi, NBi/NBi, etc. Largely motivated by wanting to figure out which romance book quests I had a chance of getting the badges for. If I missed any, let me know. Quest specific info in the pinned comment.

I love hockey romances as much as the next person but sometimes you want another sport to take center stage. So here is a collection of sports romance books where one (or all of them) is playing a sport that isn't hockey.

Feel free to leave any recomendations for the list.

(Contains both YA and Adult romance)

Yes, queer and trans folks play sports. These are those books.

Books on my TBR with LGBTQIA+ characters or themes.

fun/casual lgbt books. predominantly contemporary romance, trying to avoid lit fic. more for when i am looking for a palette cleanse.

Whether it's about the romance or the sport or both, these books at the very least contain characters who practice and/or care about sports, are part of the LGBTQIA+ community, and possibly do the kissy

queer historical romance with a heavy helping of regency romance especially since it seems to be the most populated 🫖👑🏳️‍🌈

Because we’re queer and we’ve always been here 🥹

Books with main characters (or love interests) that are hissy and rude/prickly but deep down it’s because they are sensitive little cupcakes who are afraid of being hurt and just want some love and affection 🥺

Open to suggestions!

I have not read all of these - I do have a life

🎶roundin’ third and headed for home it’s a brown-eyed handsome man anyone can understand the way i feel🎶

in my personal head-canon: John Fogerty and the brown-eyed handsome man were in love and they lived happily ever after.

always accepting suggestions for baseball romances.

My fave MM romances (most are hockey related lol)!
