Recs if you like A Power Unbound ...

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.

A list of my favorite queer historical fiction books (with a sprinkle of horror).

books with queer characters and themes that make me insane

82 (and counting!) Fated Mates recs that you can get DRM-Free from Bookshop.org. This means you actually own the book forever and you can read it on any device. Huzzah!

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...
