For your general perusal, these are all the current, completed niche booklists we have put together. If you know of any books that should be on one of these lists and isn’t, please let us know!

…also taking suggestions for future lists. 

There’s a whole list of lesbian pirate fiction?

Well, I know what I’m reading.

I was about to post “*hurls actual work out of the window, buries face in lesbian pirates*” but then I realised that was possibly the least subtle innuendo that would ever have graced my blog

and then I posted it anyway

Among an entire list of awesome, hilarious comments, I think this is my favourite (why yes, yes we are stalking the reblogs. IT IS RESEARCH).

But anyway, some additional lists (these are all books from the full YA list, but with more information and divided further into topic):

And for the record, I do not consider either Tamora Pierce’s books, or the Gemma Doyle trilogy, or several of the other frequently cited books as lesbian fiction. They just happen to have lesbian characters, who get to be lesbian as a side issue. And they keep sneaking into my lists based on other people’s recommendations, and I keep having to weed them out once I actually take a good hard look at them. Yes, we’ll probably make a list of those in future, but I consider it highly misleading to put them on a list of books promising Real Lesbians and Bisexuals All The Time With Rainbows Coming Out Their Eyes.

However, if you want to argue that they DO feel lesbian to you, I may be swayed by majority votes. At least on books neither me nor Cress have read. And of course, if you know of any books we just haven’t found or confirmed as having tasty lesbian goodness with creamy fill-uh, I think I’ll stop there. But we want.

To peruse later.
