New to queer literature? Here are the essentials to get you started

Nonfiction books about queer history, including memoirs, coffee table books, graphic novels, picture books, middle grade and more ! :)

Little books (roughly less than 300 pages) that are very strange—in premise or construction! So far, I’ve read most of these (a couple TBR), and happy to take suggestions!

Parenting books on the topic of school. See my other lists for back to school books aimed at kids.

Books about starting kindergarten and preK!

Just a bunch of sport romances with football/soccer as the main sport.

Under construction! All the novels are in here, but I'm still considering how to handle short stories.

Back to school books for young readers (1st to 3rd grade).

First person accounts throughout history, focusing on marginalized groups.

The best of the best when it comes to heists, revenge, and the unraveling of mysteries in pursuit of truth.

Rather than a TBR I like to have a list of menu options

I've decided my favorite romantic micro Trope is a man (specifically a powerful one) on his knees for the FMC. Could be in a sexual way or not, it's so good every time!

I would love to hear your suggestions, I'll be adding to this list as I encounter more stories that feature it!

MM romance with three or more people in the relationship.

For people who are interested in a long-term challenge to read all of the Booker Prize longlisted books! Before 2001 there were only shortlisted books so I am going to separate these into two different lists. After I finish adding in all of the books, I'll pin a comment with the winners by year in case you are only interested in those! (Work in Progress - I'm adding too many books to the database at once haha)

You can't trust their perspective, but by god, you can't get enough of reading it.

Please see the pinned comment for the 2001+ companion list link and the winners for each year!

Books picked for Goldsboro's fantasy and sci-fi focused subscription - Fellowship! All are limited special editions that come signed and numbered, often with unique designs.

Subscription was formerly known as GSFF.

All picks from The Broken Binding's monthly Science Fiction & Fantasy subscription box (focused on new releases)

When gods were real and heroes walked the earth, these stories were everything.

If you like The Odyssey, The Iliad, and crave more knowledge of mythological epics told around the world - this list is for you! As much as I love the existing quests and lists around Greco-Roman mythology and its retellings, it fuelled the flame to read other epics that are overshadowed by Greek/Roman/Norse mythology. Start exploring! May you be blessd by the Gods/Goddesses, traveller!

Books with similar themes to the Fallout series: critiquing rampant American consumerism and greed; deconstructing 1950s-era conservatism; post-apocalyptic road trip; man vs. God; long-term effects of authoritarianism; morally gray choices or “morally gray” choices; being locked inside underground (or in space) indefinitely; retro-futuristic technology; nuclear weapons and fallout; cosmic horror; or, ultimately, being the baddest motherfucker with a baseball bat.
