Books I didn't believe were going to be good but I stand corrected 🙆🏾‍♀️

This isn’t just “weird girl lit,” it’s weird girl books with a MESSAGE. with something to say and doing it in a weird way!! No shame to the angry woman weird girl books but that ain’t what I’m talking about. I’m talking space, magical realism, weird kinks as metaphors. I’m talking new takes on the form, books that do things differently. If you know, you know. These are some of my favorite types of books and nearly everything on this list I’ve read and loved.

MLM books with no switching in the sex scenes. I am counting in books where they both give and receive oral and where they mention switching. It is just as long as there is no switching scene on the page. The only things that are the same with all of these is that they are all MM and all have at least one sex scene.

These are books with forum posts I created mainly for my audiobook listeners, with the front matter material that we miss out on (eg maps, character lists, images). It's at p1 or 1%. Requests are accepted for additions.

Books featuring peak (mostly male) yearning. Will be regularly updated as I come across new titles, and suggestions are welcome and appreciated!

A list of books about Fat bodies, anti-Fatness, Desirability Politics, and their intersections (Blackness, gender, sexuality, etc.).

This is a mix of books that I have read or were already on my TBR and books that have been recommended to me. I will update as I find more. Recommendations are appreciated! 💛

Books about women struggling with their place in society, society’s expectations of them. Some have humor to them, most are of a darker tilt.
