I never had the opportunity to take a dedicated literature class, so I'm building my own personal curriculums! The technical goal of this list is to help me learn how to analyze prose style at the sentence level - diction, syntax, figuration, narrative distance, etc. The more practical goal of this is to help me understand the what an author is doing and have the language to properly describe it.

books written by Native authors

Books about falling in love with specifically lucifer/satan/the devil

So many books featuring cheating and about adultery. How they start, why they start, and how they inevitably end.

Books that are confirmed to be getting a movie/tv adaptation in the future.

transhumanism, cyborg antics and general gender fuckery

A mix of fantasy and sci-fi mm (and mmm+) romance I've read.

books about families with characters who are regarded as a 'black sheep'

Books where a sapphic character is being a menace. They could be messy, monstrous or murdering someone.

October Daye Series by Seanan McGuire˚✧₊

Mangas/light novels about people with the ability to gain items not available in the world they’re currently in. Basically drop-shipping.

Giddy up

books&lit referenced in songs by the band bears in trees

A collection of queer historical romances.

They are poem collections from Turkish and English. Translations included.

The memoirs and essay collections i enjoyed reading.

Books to read when your dnd campaign is in scheduling hell and you need a charming yet chaotic fantasy/sci-fi story to fill the void. These books are full of found family, improbable schemes, and wacky dungeon master style narration.
