Queer Reads ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
Every queer book Iโve ever read and loved. Some might be cliche, cringe, or basic, but I donโt care. Enjoy! I certainly did :)
Note: this list includes both queer-focused novels (romance) and novels of other genres that have queer main characters. Also it will have a lot of Casey McQuiston.

Anthologies for all
I love anthologies. Short fiction curated around a theme or a collection by an author I like have been some of the most rewarding reading Iโve ever done. The following are some of my favorites, from sci-fi, to dystopian, to YA, with a few of my favorite short fiction collections from single authors in there as well (particularly those whoโs work falls into the sci-fi, fantasy or speculative genres)

Internet Archive Saves the Day! (And My Wallet)
Inspired to create a list by a post from mmyth, I thought it would be nice to have a list of quest books you can download and read for free via Internet Archive. Recommendations gladly accepted. Happy reading ya'll! (Please note this will ONLY contain books found through Internet Archive and no other sources, I don't want to run into possible mistakes and copyright headaches.)
