I have a few lists made up at this point, and I have to say that the two twin lists that I'm very proud of are my ultimate danmei and baihe lists! I've put a few hours into each, but sadly my baihe one still has significantly less due to how few novels actually end up making their way onto goodreads, so for that one I mainly have to make do with just having a link in the comments as to where more novels can be found. My danmei list, however, has 130 books and counting at this point!! When I first got the idea to make these lists, for some reason it didn't occur to me that there would be so many that have already been translated and uploaded to goodreads, so my danmei list in particular is quite larger than originally anticipated. And that's even with me already deciding to only include the first volumes of the serialized versions as well!! Every few weeks I check back on goodreads to see if there's any I haven't added yet but for the most part what ends up happening is me trying to add one I thought I didn't have on there only to find out it is, I just forgot about it ^^; Does anybody else have a particular list of theirs that they put a lot of effort into maintaining and would like to show off? 👀

I just joined and apparently I've read 21 books on the list already-- Gold for me I guess oops

I would love to recommend a few books for this quest!

The Courtesan's Eye by Hyers Kate and J. C. Smith - Courtesan spy (emphasis on the spy) solving a murder while navigating tangled city politics. main romance is m/f but main character is SO bi and a lesbian couple are very present side characters. Spice is infrequent but So well-written.

The Fall That Saved Us by Tamara Jerée - f/f demon + angel descendant, So Good and sexy and gentle and the religious trauma is chef's kiss.

Yours Celestially by Al Hess - m/m and m/nb romance, non-binary person is an angel/computer program in a digital afterlife, So Vibes and so cute.

The Imperial Radch series by Ann Leckie - space epic featuring one part of a sentient ship having to make her way through a space war/space politics, while also being genderqueer, sapphic, and asexual. Queer-normative world with very funky worldbuilding around pronouns (everyone in the Radch uses she/her regardless of sex/gender) and extremely solid social justice themes

There's probably more but I'll contain myself for now 😂😂

Excited to start this quest! Which one is everyone’s first recommendation to start?

I am once again coming to you all, shaking my little donation cup of book recommendations. These books can be any genre, I'm simply looking for a black queer main character 🙂‍↕️🙏🏽

BECAUSE HOW ELSE WILL I FIND PEOPLE TO SCREAM ABOUT IT WITH?!?!

Hey y'all, I have been trying to look for science Fiction epics written by women. I am not sure what counts as an epic. So if you have any recommendations, I would be forever grateful!!
