As promised my list (so far) of Toxic Obsessive Homoerotic Friendship book recs, part 1! This list is my top ten, from most favorite to not quite as favorite (but still awesome) according to my own taste. I wanted to include pictures but it was a nightmare. I will make part two as soon as I can! Please give me your recs if you have any :) A lot of these books have heavy topics so please look up trigger warnings!

1. Black Iris by Elliot Wake (formerly known as Leah Raeder and the book is under that name)

2. If We Were Villains by M. L. Rio

Paul meets Julien in a freshman college Criminology class and they start an intense and possibly dangerous friendship in the 1970s.

4. The Wicker King by K. Ancrum

August struggles when his childhood best friend starts having hallucinations.

5. Girls on Fire by Robin Wasserman

Three girls, one popular, one a rebel, and one a wallflower have tangled friendships with each other in the 1990s.

6. Underneath Everything by March Beller Paul

Mattie, a high school student, reflects on her lost friendship with her best friend, Jolene. Is it over for good or is there a possibility for friendship again in the future?

7. The World Cannot Give by Tara Isabella Burton

Laura, a high school junior attends a boarding school that was the setting of her favorite novel, and becomes obsessed with the church choir there and the very religious girl who leads them.

9. Suicide Notes from Beautiful Girls by Lynn Weingarten

10. The Falling Girls by Haley Krishner

More about our co-authored fantasy and sci-fi fusing novel! Here’s reasons why we love it: Written from six points of view, it is a story that is a testament to the powers of friendship. For fans of video games where lost technologies are found, like Horizon Zero Dawn and Mass Effect, and epic fantasy books with multiple POVs, like Malazan Book of the Fallen and The Stormlight Archive. Heroes that are older than teenagers, nature magic, societal prejudices, and lost histories like The Surviving Sky. Other elements we think you’ll like:

LGBTQ+ main characters

Animal companions

Enemies to lovers subplot

Musical magic

Epic journey

Good dog

★ Are there any book to screen adaptations you’re looking forward to? I’m excited for Red, White & Royal Blue! It was one of my favorite reads a few years ago, and I can’t wait for the story to reach more people! Also, if you’re in the US and you haven’t voted yet, I hope you can take the time to do so today! Get out there, help those who need a ride or can’t find their polling location (voters age 18-29 often cite these reasons for why they don’t vote), and vote like your life depends on it—because it probably does. ♥️ ★ HASHTAGS // #bookseverywhere #shelfie #bookhoarder #bookstagram #rainbowshelves #bookaddict #bibliophile #booklover #booksofig #booksofinstagram #bookpics #homelibrary #redwhiteandroyalblue #caseymcquiston #getoutthevote #voteblue #electionday #queerbooks #lgbtqreads https://www.instagram.com/p/CktdEL2PXRo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hello, Tumblr!

I haven't been on here in a good 10 years, but... I am back and ready to connect with some new people!

My name is Skye Quinlan (they/them pronouns, please!), and I am the author of Forward March, a queer YA novel about high school band geeks! It released earlier this year on March 22nd from Page Street Kids, and you can find it anywhere books are sold!

I'm super excited that (from the looks of it) a lot of authors are starting to migrate back to Tumblr. I used to be a part of Tumblr's reptile community when I was younger, and I'm still friends with a lot of the people I met there! I also really, really miss shit-posting about random things and reblogging stuff that looks neat!

Please feel free to say hello, and I can't wait to follow my fellow writers!

Throwback to when I decided to re-read Crier’s War. I needed a refresher before reading the sequel. Great duology, not exactly nuanced but I enjoyed the story. Nina Varela is such a poetic writer and storyteller, makes me want to check out her other books.

You keep smiling as everything has finally worked out, and I'm terrified that it's the truth. Terrified we won't have long, I want to grab your hand and run before fate finds us. Before they know what breaths I take and can't afford to pay back. There's that goddamn laughter again, and I feel it in my skin. It feels so careless and natural that I almost lose my cool. You must know something I don't. I promised myself I would remain solitary, that love could not flow through me so deeply anymore. You're making fun of my fear. I instantly look around and pull my hand from yours. But you snicker as you shake your head. Two fingers twirl underneath my chin as you bring your lips onto mine without hesitation. So much purpose. I've never been kissed like this. It's not the first time I've kissed a woman.

Hi, do you have any recommendations for books where a primary character is an asexual adult (~20+)? (Bonus points if they’re aroace.) I love that we’re getting so many MG and YA ace characters but I’d love to read about characters closer to my age.

Sure, these are all books with adult aroace MCs:

Good Angel by A. M. Bauslid

Seafoam and Silence by S.L. Dove Cooper

A Promise Broken by S.L. Dove Cooper

We Go Forward by Alison Evans (Amz)

The Bruising of Qilwa by Naseem Jamnia

Firebreak by Nicole Kornher-Stace

The Faerie Godmother’s Apprentice Wore Green by Nicky Kyle

“Backgame” by Lev Mirov, in Myriad Lands Volume II

Seafoam and Silence by Lynn O’Connacht

A Promise Broken by Lynn E. O’Connacht

Kaikeyi by Vaishnavi Patel

Vengeful by V.E. Schwab (Fantasy)

I Want to Be a Wall by Honami Shirono (Manga)

Holding Onto Day by E.H. Timms

Create My Own Perfection by E.H. Timms

They're mostly (all?) SFF, though, so for contemp with ace MCs but that are mostly (all?) Romances, try:

A Milky Way Home by Hsinju Chen

Thaw by Elyse Springer

The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun

Learning Curves by Ceillie Simkiss

In My Dreams by Elin Annalise

My Heart to Find by Elin Annalise

The Heartbreak Handshake by J.R. Hart

The Romantic Agenda by Claire Kann

How to Be a Normal Person by TJ Klune

Rising From Ash by Jax Meyer

Love Limits by Reese Morrison

An LGBTQ+ Epic Fantasy

An epic fantasy tale with gods, vampires, ghosts, magic, and more:

Gay, transmasc, and non-binary protagonists

MM romance

Dark fantasy

Vibrant worldbuilding and intense action!

Available in Kindle Unlimited!

Books I and II available now!

Descent of Ravens (Book I of Bel’s War)

The old covenant of the gods is broken. Will the world break, too? When an army of vampires invades the island of Trosika, Rio and Turi must fight for their future. Rio is a healer and a priest of Astara who suffers severe self-doubt and a growing crisis of faith; even his goddess cannot stop the forces arrayed against them. Turi has long buried a secret about himself that he fears could upend everything.

When Rio unseals a centuries-old tomb, releasing the night-cursed prince Philip, he discovers that he has a bond with Philip that stretches across lifetimes. As Turi grapples with his secrets, he is recruited by the terrifying goddess Mormo and gifted with necromancy for reasons he does not understand.

Rio and Turi must contend with bloodthirsty mages, battle an endless army of vampires, and confront the truth of who Turi truly is; most of all, they must rely on their unshakable friendship to survive. As they struggle to protect each other, their religion, and their island home, the fate of an empire hangs in the balance.

Will of Dragons (Book II of Bel’s War)

About Book II:

Evil hides beneath armor of gleaming white.

The new civil war has cracked the empire apart as Turi and Rio race to gather allies against Clan Ishima’s brutality. The enemy is ten steps ahead, and Turi is pushed to his limit to stop the evil a corrupted paladin order has unleashed.

Demari, finally fulfilling a lifelong dream at sea with his brother, finds himself recruited into the designs of a goddess and soul-bound to a man he barely knows. In the fight for supremacy in the empire’s waters, Demari’s newfound power and connection will alter the course of the war and change his life forever.

Meanwhile, back on Trosika the new empress, Sarina Marias, faces betrayal, ancient magic, and intrigue as Ishima agents make their next move to control the island. When fate brings her face to face with the God of War, can she match her will to his?
