ok so, the title says it all . can someone please recommend me LGBTQ+ books with religious horror? i don’t care if it’s mlm, wlw or just with a LGBTQ+ protagonist , as long as they’re queer anything’s fine with me, thank you!

I'm fine with the spicy and gory scenes, but I mean I writing style and whole storyline. Would I be able to understand it or would I just be confused? I read a lot and I (according to my school) have a reading age of 18½, so I think have a good vocabulary.

I want to read a lesbian plot, preferably fantasy or assassin based, that the cover isn't just 2 women kissing. I'm in the closet and I want to read this at school, but I know my life will be over if I bring in a book with lesbians on the cover.

Also please nothing with sex in it, but absolutely kissing is good.

Hey guys, I wrote queer fiction and I'd love your opinion on it. Here's a little summary:

Born in 1993 in post-Yugoslav Croatia, they grew up in a family that survived the horrors of war but remained deeply marked by its aftermath. From an early age, they felt an acute sense of disconnection from their body, an identity crisis that grew more pronounced as they grappled with their gender and the rigid expectations imposed by family and society.

I often post snippets of it on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drewithanaccent/photo/7487512708414246166

i am looking for a novel series. its based on space and space kingdoms, ai, space affairs and all. one of the series is based on arranged marriage story where they both hate each other but later fell in love. the top is president and one of the higher ups of space kingdoms whereas the bottom is youngest son of another kingdom and used to study under top. its not on wattpad i remember reading this on some other apps. i also remember little bits like the bottom is top's "mate" (the word here was different but meaning was almost same) so they had to get married otherwise both will die(?) or be miserable(?) their house also had AI system where the al can talk understand and everything. the babies were not born in womb rather it had a capsule(?) where you can see fetus growing. also bottom disliked top so much he would cause trouble like going into another space kingdom and getting into dating rumors. also i think one time to despise top, the bottom came in human world but got caught. also the top marriage initially was arranged with daughter of another space kingdom but couldnt happen because mc and ml got married. the bottom also wanted to marry someone else and the bottom would get in so many dating scandals like he was very famous for that and top hated the attention and all. top was one of the "elders" , the elders didnt wanted the marriage to happen but it happend because of "mate/mark/bond" thing but i think later it was revealed the bond can be broken. also there was this thing where they can feel each other through their head like getting into each other head space and getting horny because of that, the bottom loved this and would beg top to do this to him but top would deny as it was dangerous. both wanted to break the bond, later they did broke it but both realised how much they loved and meant for eo. also later bottom almost got married to other kingdom crown prinve but at the last moment cancelled it and came back to top.

I’m looking for book recs that I can give my partners nephew for his fourth birthday. The kids mom says that non fiction books, especially science/construction/space/mozart themed, are what they’re wanting. I have no idea what books would fit in those themes that would be good for a 4 year old.

I’m hoping to get a book or two within their request, but mostly want to get a handful of books that are as queer or trans oriented as possible. My boyfriend (the kids uncle) and I are trans, and the kids dad has made no effort to hide his transphobia and maga views online/to our faces. I’m also not worried about the queerness being subtle or flying under the radar of the dad.

TLDR I’m looking for book recs for a four year old fitting themes of science, construction, space, Mozart, queer/trans identities or anything with queer/trans characters or themes, anything conservatives could consider “woke”, ¯(ツ)/¯ open to hearing anything else lol.

My friend recently showed interest in manga, specifically BL, and as a huge manga lover i’d love to get him something for his birthday that’s coming up but i’ve never read any bl’s so im not too sure what to get him, he wouldn’t like anything with smut or anything that’s too cringey or has gay stereotypes..any recommendations?

Long story short, I’m a bisexual woman who didn’t realize I was bisexual until adulthood and am very happily in a relationship with a man that I plan to be with for the rest of my life (who I met in high school and reconnected with as an adult because I’m a hopeless romantic).

I’ve been really interested in reading YA fiction featuring bisexual/sapphic women as a way to explore/stay connected to that part of myself since the likelihood of me exploring my attraction to non-men in a long-term relationship now is slim.

I feel pretty good about the sapphic YA books on my shelf and living out versions of my youth that could have been, but I’d love to find some books targeted at people in their mid-20s and above.

I’ll list some of my favourite queer books below, and basically I’m looking for recommendations that give me the same light-hearted yet meaningful but also sometimes funny/witty vibes!

• The Pairing by Casey McQuiston
• The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
• Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston
• What If It’s Us (and Here’s to Us) by Becky Albertalli & Adam Silvera
• The Nobleman’s Guide to Scandal and Shipwrecks by Mackenzi Lee (would LOVE to read more queer historical fiction actually, or maybe get into fantasy)

Maybe a bit of a particular request, but I'm looking to read more sapphic fiction and there's a certain vibe/ storyline I'm looking for and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations. There's this album by Vinny Marchi called Tales of the Lesbian Hunter which I'm loving and it has a story to it. Basically there's a princess or equivalent who runs away because she doent want to marry the man chosen for her and as she travels she falls in love with a hunter she meets and then there's a battle where the father comes to find his daughter and take her home. There's mention of sirens and other side characters who help them and also some rogue moments. I've recently read Gideon the Ninth and I found her character hit on the vibe I felt like the hunter had in the album - strong and with some snarky humour and not afraid to fight and get dirty doing it. I'm not really looking for anything spicy, I prefer the romance to be more tender and emotional than anything explicit. I'm mostly looking for F/F recommendations because I want to read more sapphic books, but if anyone has any m/m, poly or trans inclusive recommendations then I'll happily take them all.

Hello, I have a rather important question (for me) about fantasy literature and a specific trope/kind of relationship inside. I'll try to explain it correctly and as precisely possible. So, I'm doing a personnal research on Sapphic witches in books and those answers could really help me a lot so please feel free to answer :)

Here's a few questions :

• Why do you like to read about queer witches ? Why is it interesting for you to read about sapphic romances mixed with witches ?

• Why do you think we have more and more books about that those last years ? (The Honey Witch for example but there are dozen of other Books published in the last few years)

• Why in your opinion those romances are often found in cosy fantasy books ? Or with minimal drama and dark subjects ? (Though there is obviously books that are darker or less cosy -For instance The Midnight girls-). What's your opinion about this ?

• Do you think there's a link between queerness and witches ? If so, can you elaborate ?

• Anything else to add on the subject that I didn't mention ?

Thanks again if you answer :)

Hi, everyone! Self-rec here, and not a new release per se, but I've been in the process of building a new website and I've transferred about two thirds of my back catalogue. This is in preparation for setting up a personal subscription site that will be similar to Patreon but without any of Patreon's hand-wringing or restrictions on content as it will be on my own domain.

For the 600 or so works of my existing back catalogue - short stories in the erotica, romance, fantasy, and horror genres; movie reviews; personal essays; analyses and in-depth meta pieces, sex guides, writing advice etc - I'm going to keep them available to read online for free. Some of these pieces are regularly recommended here on the sub or on the other queer ones, such as:

• A Fish Riding a Bicycle - Romance short. 4k. A repressed wizard is at odds with the Dean of Magical Arts’ new secretary.
• Like A Thief and an Assassin - Rated M, 6,7k, M/M. A kooky thief at a for-hire intelligence agency starts to romance his handler. Banter and some back-and-forth, mounting sexual tension, age difference. Tone is playful and restrainedly horny.
• Archival Management - Erotic short, 10k, cis M/M. Magical archivists in Camelot with the most mundane of delicious emotional and sexual issues. Featuring age difference, orgasm denial, oral, desperation, crying, a bit of mild humour and nastiness, delicious emotional manipulation, and a heavy dose of mind-reading.

• Warden Gordon and the Angel in the Woods - Fantasy short. Working in a magical national park, Gryff Gordon has a contentious relationship with a local angel.Fantasy short. Working in a magical national park, Gryff Gordon has a contentious relationship with a local angel.

• Gellert's New Job - Gellert has worked as a business manager for the King family for nearly a decade when an error in judgement brings his employment to an abrupt end. Lucien Pike, a rival kingpin, employs his services instead. Fantasy, crime, and a good bit of dark humour. 21k. Rated M. Transgender, autistic man’s POV; both protagonists are autistic.

• Daddy's Boy - In the magical smuggling town of Lashton, the youngest son of the Laithes, a prominent crime family, struggles to make himself heard and accepted by his family, especially his father. At the age of 17, he undergoes a metamorphosis. 23k, rated E for violence, featuring Dai Laithe, Oidhche Laithe, and the rest of the Laithe family, with some appearances from Gellert Osgodby and to a lesser extent, Lucien Pike.

• Divine Bodies - Erotic Short. The god Freyr expects good work from his priests, but gives good rewards. Featuring transness, divinity, magical HRT, size differences, come inflation, consensual nonconsent, somnophilia, gangbangs, stomach bulges, come inflation, public humiliation, power dynamics, nature imagery, gender expression and embrace of gender identity as faith and worship!

Once I've finished crossposting all my back catalogue, I'm going to begin going back through the catalogue and instituting a robust tagging system that, if I say so myself, is extremely sexy. There are a hundred or so specific kink tags, character tags for browsing favourite characters, setting tags that cover location and/or time period, etc.

Why does every book in the LGBTQ+ section look like it’s printed on a rainbow with a "Come Out and Read Me" banner? I just want a cozy, subtly queer love story without flashing neon signs. Can we get a book where the characters just happen to be gay, not announce it like it's the plot twist of the century? Anyone else in the “I’ll figure it out through context” club?

Im planning to read them all but first i would like to know if the monsters are like immortal and how they age

I hate the immortal x mortal troupe...

Heya, we have started an LGBT book club with around 70 members so far, have a name logo etc. What Im after is a great slogan/motto that we can use as an acronym, that only our LGBT book club understand. Something that ignites us, inspires us, defines us, all in one. a multiple purpose slogan. Drop your suggestions!

I have looked for ages for any type of queer book with the setting being libraries/bookstores. The only book I’ve been able to find is Yagi the Bookshop Goat and I’ve already read that. When I tried to find any other book, not only was there nothing, but the AI that google automatically brings up when you look up something showed me 10 different books that don’t exist, all with the same description but with different made up titles and made up authors. If anyone has anything, please tell me, I’m so desperate 😭

title! I'm open to pretty much anything with a happy ending, preferably not YA. just give me all your must-reads!

I'm seeking fantasy books with this wlw romance dynamic but I'm also okay with historical(?) fiction books as long as they fit. I don't necessarily want romance books, but if it's pure romance I won't be mad either.

Books that more or less fit that I already read: Fingersmith by Sarah Waters, Princess of Dorsa by Eliza Andrews, Crier's War by Nina Varela, The Consorts by Melissa Addey.

Look, I signed up for wholesome queer rep, not another emotionally devastating novel where my new favorite gay character meets an untimely demise. Why must every sapphic love story be historically accurate (aka tragic)? Meanwhile, straight romances get happy endings like they’re handing them out at a drive-thru. Can a gay just get a cheesy rom-com? Please?

I started reading more recently however i tend to have a hard time staying focused with regular books. I can read a bit at a time but it takes a bit to get me to keep going. With graphic novels though I can read through the whole thing in a sitting or two. I recently read "Bloom" and it was really good.

i just finished reading outlawed by Anna North and i absolutely love it. the old west is one of my special interests, and after reading outlawed, i want to know what else is out there for queer westerns. i initially wanted to ask on r/westerns, but looking at some post history left me discouraged (would you believe it, many people into an idealized version of american masculinity are vaguely homophobic)

that being said, does anybody have anything similar they can recommend? wlw, mlm, or generally queer, i especially loved how transness was handled in outlawed so that’s a plus. honestly, even books where it could be a “bromance” — i just want to read about some gay cowboys. cheers!!

I host a Radical Faerie bookclub every few months and was wondering if anyone knows of any tantric related books specifically for gay/queer men.

I have Urban Tantra and I really enjoy it, but would like something more homo-centric
