Incredible Sci Fi You've Probably Never Heard Of
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!)
Indie Transfemme Fiction
Fiction books written by transfems & published by a small press or independently (itch, etc). Not bound by any genre.
(this list is very incomplete! please bother me over the ones I inevitably missed!)
Trans Reading Group Booklist
A list compiling all books read by the Trans Reading Group. The list will be added to every year! One book, Sasha by Roberta Angela Dee, is missing from Goodreads and therefore also this list.
