Today is National Coffee day, so we've put together a list of our favorite coffeeshop and tea shop reads featuring queer 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.)

Definitely hoard these books.

My current and growing list of Latine and Hispanic authors. Feel free to recommend more!

Fall reads- books that take place in fall, give cozy vibes or spooky Halloween vibes. My favorites manage both Halloween and cozy vibes.

Mostly gay books that are dark or bloody or both! (Not finished yet!)

writers writing about writing and, also about becoming and being a writer.

These are books I keep pushing on friends. No they don‘t want to read them. Yes I‘ll keep trying.

Roll the confessional tapes! Books featuring reality tv show plots (or subplots). Pop some popcorn and enjoy your favorite guilty pleasure… in book form.

books that revolve around families and their complexities

Niche-sports romances that play outside the hockey 🏒, football 🏈, basketball 🏀, and baseball ⚾️ realms

Note: there is YA in this list

Sometimes I think about Laika and Felicette a bit too hard and start crying, so I'm making a list about it.

I have not read really any of the books on this list, I just wanted to collect them in place as a sort of tribute to the various spacefaring animals. Edits will be made, additions and subtractions, over time. I might be the wrong person to make this list, as I'm primarily a fiction reader and also not a scientist, but here we are. Recommendations welcome!

Books on writing (as a craft), or about writing (as a process), or musings on novel theory
