dark academia + romance

Books with Aromantic &/or Asexual characters that matter

This list was generated from a post on pagebound on Juneteenth in 2026. I opted to not try and make this list comprehensive but just to document the community recs from that day - however, if you have more books to recommend please comment in the forum! Prompts from the original post will be in the comments.

Looking for romance & erotica with 🍆-to-🍆 action? Glide into the world of frotting with these sexy queer reads!

Frotting—a form of frottage (the sexual act of rubbing one’s body on something) like tribbing & scissoring—involves two or more 🐔s rubbing together.

With this list, frolic into frotting across subgenres, from monster erotica to sports romance.

Have any recs, especially those featuring non-cisgender 🍆? Slide them into the comments!

Love who you love, no matter the gender!

I don't resonate with most sapphic reading lists, so here is one for dykes instead

lesbians in books that are powerful, interesting, strange or insane. not necessarily romance but trust that the sapphics are there.

also this is for fun and i am a sapphic.

exactly what it says on the tin

Touch grass this season and learn about the curious, chaotic, and down right cool world around you

Unreliable Narrators and their stories

Missing one book - "Sticks".

This list will showcase the vast amount of Scottish Literature available, from the late medieval period to the present day. Partly inspired by there only being a few Scottish books on the 'British Classics' quest. Alba gu bràth!
