Recs if you like A Shore Thing...

I tried to include most books I know or that have been recommended that either have transfem, transmasc or nonbinary main characters. I only add first in series!

Historical fiction books with queer characters

queer historical fiction! comment recs or books that should be added<3

Please let me know if there are any I should add.

Books with a transmasc/enby character with a love interest with a woman may be primary or minor romance and minor part of the story. But mostly just trying to create a list to read because most of the books I read with transmasc are romantically linked with men, so feel free to recommend or correct me.

adult genre romance stories where at least one main character is trans and/or non-binary! i haven’t necessarily read or recommend all the books included here; please lmk if anything is incorrect. Also this list is white and transmasc leaning so def please leave any recs in the comments! i’ve mainly excluded erotica, as my goal for this list is genre romance, but most books listed do contain sexual scenes (varying levels of explicitness)

Some are literary, some are genre, all are lovely queer quests and adventures. Journeys of the psyche and physical hunts. The best stories are about finding… Read and Recommended

Please be mindful when making recommendations: If discrimination appears in the book it must be critiqued within the book, and please don’t rec books with on page SA, death by suicide, or excessive gore.

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

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 🥹

Get used to it. A list of queer historical romances. Some are also fantasy.

My favorite trans romances. Notes: Trans used as the umbrella term. My reading has been severely lacking in MTF romance and I am correcting that! Will be updating this list regularly 💜

Historical romcom books that subvert the genre beyond two cis straight white able bodied people of a similar class. Think the Bridgerton TV Show but even more!

Let me know if you have any recs to add!!

I haven't seen a list like this so I wanted to make it :D If you have any suggestions feel free to write a comment!

A list of faves

Fiction books (ya, adult, graphic novels, manga, and more) that center queer joy and friendship. There can be sadness mixed in as that is life, but the relationships themselves are loving and joyful.

Science! Math! Historical Romance featuring some scientifically minded ladies, STEM historical romance, women with interests/jobs/hobbies/ etc.

Romance of any genre featuring transgender main characters
