A nostalgic little trip back to the books that made childhood magical. 📚✨ This list is dedicated to beloved favorites that were released in the 2000s—the stories we grew up with, couldn’t put down, and still remember fondly all these years later. From cozy childhood adventures to unforgettable characters, these books are pure ’2000s nostalgia.

my nov-dec tbr

Books that feature Death Games, like the ones in Suzanne Collins' "Hunger Games" or Koushun Takami's "Battle Royale". Anything where the protagonist - willingly or not - finds themselves in a game/game like trial where they are risking their lives and, in some cases, are expected to kill others as well.

(As always with my lists, most of the books here are queer)

I love horror that takes place in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, so figured I'd put it all together here and hope for more recs in the process! This is a Stephen King free list.

Fantasy where romance can’t be separated from power, allegiance, class, inheritance, rebellion, diplomacy, or the throne. Falling in love means choosing sides. . . or discovering that the person you want may be standing on the wrong one.

Some good books I've read that center heavily around the dynamics and relationships between siblings, especially in larger families

A collection of older, lesser-known, fantasy (or science fantasy) books written by incredible women. In a time when female fantasy authors were few and far between, these authors carved out their own space in the genre. These stories might not be mainstream hits today, but they are full of brilliant magic, deep characters, and/or worlds that helped shape the genre. (First in Series / standalones only for now - open to suggestions!)

Books about one very specific thing throughout history

Favourite books

sometimes characters are not friends or lovers but the secret third option

if a safeword is established, i want to see it get used and i want the angst and the comfort and the negotiation!

aka. books in which a character uses their safeword

(may also include books with the partner noticing discomfort and stopping without explicit safeword usage)

faeries are what made me.. me

The books Ernest Hemingway thought every aspiring novelist should read

Today is Senior Citizen's Day! It's stupidly hard to find books with older characters, but we've done our best to put together a list of queer books with older characters (we aimed for 65+ but not all books specify and ymmv on your estimate of the age of some of these folks). Happy reading! (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.)

all my fav feminist readings, of all genres

Welcome to one of my favorite tropes: when the title of the book or series is included in the text, usually in a significant moment that makes everyone go "ohhhh that's what it means". Suggestions and corrections encouraged! Not only for books to add but also emojis :D
