What it says on the tin - a list of books we love that include characters who use they/them, it/its, and/or neopronouns! In honor of International Pronoun Day, which is this week! (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators! A group of us collaborate to make these recommendations.)

nonfiction socialist and marxist literature

This list is for the light novels for the series “86– Eighty Six” by Asato Asato.

These women have taken their places, and rightfully so. Introduce and embrace yourself into the wonderful worlds that they have created. Some may anger you, and some may make you emotionally unstable. No matter how they make you feel, you'll enjoy riding the waves.

Looking for something new? These are books that you might have heard of or maybe not know exist, but you will when you're finished.

Queer literature that is lyrical, psychedelic, and unsettling.

Sports stories in which at least one character goes by moniker usually preserved for royalty. I like my sports fiction as dramatic as possible, so I absolutely love that this has become somewhat of a trope in the genre. So far I have collected: three Kings, a Prince, a Queen, and a Great King. I'm always adding the volume(s) where the character with the royal nickname first appears. Recommendations encouraged!

Books that gives the fall-ish vibes

Or the Garrett to my Hannah? When an academic and an athlete spend more time together, an unexpected love story begins to unfold, proving that opposites might just attract.

Known fantasy books

Mentally ill horror
