The Women’s Prize for Fiction is the greatest celebration of female creativity in the world.

Romance that is horrific. From killers to stalkers. Featuring obsession.

Horror (and thriller) books about summer camp, camping, summer holidays and just general summer vibes

I love science fiction but it can be hard to find books that aren't a part of a huge, galaxy-spanning series so here's a collection of standalone books!

A collection of fantasy books featuring elements of light academia.

Historical fiction so good I couldn’t put it down!!

Historical fiction so good I couldn’t put it down!!

Sexy, outrageous, sleazy, and with enough dyke pulp to get stuck in between your teeth!

Dive into these historical fiction books that are shorter than 300 pages! Selections here tried to stay away from historical fiction with fantasy or magical realism elements.

As always, open to any suggestions for additions to this list! 🙂

become the absolute hottest book snob by reading other dark academia outside of the secret history (which, yes, is God tier literature)

Classic novels for your (inner) child, with some modern staples in the mix. For reading yourself, reading aloud to little ones, and for those learning to read. Suggestions welcome, as always!

there's an intrigue in the concept of written sex. "i read my porn" is a frequently used bookish bio quote. meditate on the classics and #letgirlsgoon.

A list of what I'm most looking forward to in the second half of 2026, with a focus on mysteries, sci-fi, fantasy, and horror. If you have any recs, please share, particularly if they are queer! 💖

A collection of non fiction books from women in science or any other field of knowledge! I'm so tired of having to listen to men that I am making it my mission to read as many non-fiction books from women I can.

Been reading WLW romances for a few decades now and there are many that have touched me enough that I keep a list of rereads for when I need a mental hug/brain candy/am in a nasty funk or depressed. Since I'm an emotional reader as well as one who values an editor and proofreader, these books may be very well written or technical pieces of poo. But I love them and you might, too.

MM romances I feel others should read 😌
