May is Latinx Books Month, so we've put together a list of our favorite titles starring queer Latinx characters! (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators! A group of us collaborate to make these recommendations.)

Books with beautiful writing that makes you want to underline every single sentence 🌸

Real sexy, yearny, history

This is your warning label.

The Spice Level: Unhinged list is reserved for stories that don’t just cross the line—they erase it entirely. These are the books where tension burns slow and then explodes, where magic and darkness collide with obsession, and where love is anything but safe. Expect morally gray (or outright dangerous) characters, power dynamics that bite, and relationships that blur the line between devotion and destruction.

They may not talk about their feelings, but apparently they will tattoo them onto their body.

This list contains of single volume graphic novels and comics.

Stories centered around coffee, tea, and other cozy things

This is all the main Avatar: The Last Airbender comics that have come out, The Lost Adventures, Team Avatar Tales, and Patterns in Time, are all anthologies of miscellaneous comics and none of them are necessary to read the rest of the "main comics", bottom comic is the first and top is the newest (you can switch the added on filter to switch it but this seems more sustainable for when new stuff comes out)

Books that get the south (and growing up southern) right.

Where the setting is cooler than the main character.

All the books Hudson Williams has recommended on his insta or in interviews

Protagonists using Indigenous knowledge to magically fight for their people against systemic oppression

Thrillers that deserve the hype and ruin your sanity.

All the individual books from the Shadowhunters Universe.

not yer mama’s beach reads

The Shadowhunters Universe, The Last Hours Trilogy.

Shadow Hunters Trilogy, The Dark Artifices.

Once you start this series, I can guarantee you're going to want to binge through it like a tv show. This list is everything from Capone to Heart of a Goon, in order. ENJOY!
