About the ๐Ÿ“š Book Recommendations category

:glowing_star: Book Recommendations โ€“ Find & Share Your Faves!

Welcome to the Book Recommendations space in Book Corner โ€” your go-to place to share your favourite LGBTQ+ reads or ask the community for suggestions!

Whether youโ€™re after a cozy WLW romance, a trans-centered fantasy epic, or books with polyamorous asexual rep โ€” this is where the Queernook community helps each other discover the best queer literature.


:white_check_mark: What to Post Here:

  • Your recommendations of books youโ€™ve read and loved
  • Requests for recs (e.g. โ€œLooking for sapphic historical fiction with no tragic endingsโ€)
  • โ€œIf you liked X, try Yโ€ style posts
  • Themed rec lists (e.g. โ€œ10 queer books with found familyโ€)
  • Links to Queernook book entries, especially underrated gems

:open_book: Rules for Posting Recommendations:

  1. Tag it clearly
    Use tags for identities, genres, and age categories (e.g. wlw, mlm, trans, fantasy, ya, adult, etc.).
  2. Be specific in requests
    The more details you share (themes, genres, content to avoid), the better the recommendations youโ€™ll get!
  3. Limit to one book per rec post
    If youโ€™re spotlighting a book, give it room to shine. Lists are great too โ€” just tag them as list.
  4. No spoilers in titles or without warning
    Use the [spoiler]spoiler content[/spoiler] tags or the eye icon in the post editor.
  5. No self-promo or affiliate links
    Authors can share their own work in the Authorโ€™s Nook category instead.
  6. Be kind and open-minded
    We all have different tastes and queer experiences. Recommendations should be offered with care and curiosity.

:light_bulb: Tip: If your request gets a lot of good suggestions, consider editing your post with a summary list to help future readers!
