Recs if you like A Power Unbound (The Last Binding, #3)...

Every year we pick 10 books that we think rise above the rest. These are the 70 we've picked since 2019.

Updated to include our Best of 2025 picks.

Romantasy and romantic/erotic fantasy reads starring queer characters! (Recs are welcome, but I'd like to encourage uplifting queer authors first and foremost! For series, I'll just put book 1 unless they can be read as standalones!)

Buildings that have strong opinions, rearrange floor plans or don't stay where you left them.

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.

Books to binge while we desperately wait for the next season of Bridgerton. You're welcome to comment recs for me to add, but they must have Bridgerton vibes. Priority given to queer and BIPOC books!

A silly goofy little list of incredible historical romances for people who want to learn while also giggling and kicking their feet in the air.

Forget everything you know about the golden hour. In these halls, knowledge isn't just power—it's a blood sacrifice, a cursed bargain, or a secret that could tear the stars from the sky. Whether you're navigating the lethal corridors of the Scholomance, deciphering the forbidden linguistics of Oxford’s silver-working, or joining a secret society at Yale that deals in the ghosts of the past, this list is for the scholars who prefer their ink black and their magic dangerous.

i made one of these for traumatised characters, but i thought i’d make a general one too. just queer people with the families they find. some are traumatised, some are not, some don’t have their stories revolving around that trauma.

think bridgerton or pride & prejudice but queer

This list contains books set in regency (inspired) settings, with fairytale elements. Some are heavily fairytale/fantasy, while others lean more towards historical fiction. All have a similar vibe ☕️

queer stories set in a historical period, perhaps with a dash of magic...

queer books across all genres because you can read queer all year

the three things that make for the perfect book

only including one book from series

Across genres - hist rom, contemporary, fantasy, anything else that makes my heart happy

Trilogies. Trilogies! A list full of trilogies. This has a collection of titles I'm interested in and some I've simply come across. To save you the trouble, I made sure to put all books in a trilogy in this list. Enjoy! 💐

Books (mostly romance) about all sorts of lgbtq+ people

Boys falling in love in waistcoats, cravats, and buckskin breeches. Lots of excellent kissing, stripping down to shirtsleeves, and uh- reaching for the salve (often the medicinal salve that was applied to an open wound on the previous page).
