How to Use the Queer Book Master List

I have created a master list of queer fiction books which can be sorted and filtered by your preferences. However, many have asked how to use it - so I have created a quick guide below!

This is not like google sheets - any filters you create will only be shown to you and will disappear when you exit that screen. So feel free to mess around! I promise you won’t ruin anything.

Step 1: Open the database

Step 2: Select the “Create Your Own Filter” view on the left-hand side.

Step 3: Click “filter” on the top bar.

Step 4: Input any filters you would like to organize the files by. The screen will automatically update with books that fit into all of your specifications.

Reminder, if you think I am missing a book, there is also a submission link where I can review & add to the main list!

Don’t forget to submit a book if you think it’s missing from the list!

I know I don’t have all of the indie & self-published authors, so if you’ve written a queer book, feel free to add it! Any information will at least give me a starting point.

Your Love, Foster's all my pain

I didn't grow up with porcelain faces But instead painted plastic I always wondered what it'd be like To care for something so beautiful Would I be different if I had? Or would you break like everything else I touch I am like Midas, change on my fingertips But my fingers do not create gold I create destruction and despair Nothing good comes from these fingers So maybe its good I didn't grow up with porcelain faces But with, instead, painted plastic.

Painted Plastic

My joy is the long fingers tucked between mine. No space between to give room to dark clouds of doubt. Squeezing, grasping, to keep my demons out. I guess this is what you could say my love is. Not a person, not flesh and soul though intertwined, but my heart resting comfortably in the embrace of yours, oh so kind. Perhaps one day my dreams of my heart being not only comfortable, but joyous too, are reachable and attainable. Yearning for another, the need so strong, compulsion so forceful. Those feelings are not dark, but bright and colorful. The same kind that make you choose to run and make your sensible mind scream "be careful."

Some people have monsters deep inside for some they aren’t that deep Some people keep them locked inside and others let them free Where did the come from… are we born with them? Maybe we created them… or maybe others created them in us I’d like to think my monsters aren’t my fault but I think I know… at least a few are I’d like to think that when they escape, it’s not my fault but I know… at least this time, it is And the worst kind of monster? is the one who lets them escape

You can understand That red means stop and green means go. But you won't understand That yes means yes and no means no.

You Won’t

Rape equals love That's the trope The one I hate The victim falls in love With the rapist I bet you wanted all of that to happen with us.

The eyes. I feel for the eyes. The sparkle as they laugh. The light dancing through them. As you gaze intensely, at whatever was honored enough, to capture your attention. They pull me tight. Enrapturing. And so I fell. For you or the eyes? I can never tell.
