look, if I could sit in a cafe drinking coffee and reading my books all day while completely ignoring my surroundings, I would.

On the 1st day of Recsmas I recommend to you…..

Winter is coming! I’m looking forward to having days off where I can just huddle under blankets with my cat and read. Still waiting on my copy of QON!

All of these books are queer, but they all have back blurbs that don’t say they’re queer. While this can be a pain if I’m scouting for queer SFF, it can come in handy for people in a situation where they don’t want to be reading queer books openly. 

Please do note that I don’t have hard copies of the books on hand so it’s possible that an author quote or something mentions one being queer (I feel like this isn’t super likely, but I don’t want to rule it out). Some might also have author biographies mentioning that the author is queer. Also, some may be shelved as LGBT on Goodreads or categorized as queer on Amazon. So if you’re planning on asking for any of these as holiday gifts, I would suggest going to the Amazon page or where ever your relative is likely to buy it from and double check that it’s something you’d be comfortable with sharing openly. 

I wish I had more pansexual books, but the ones I know of tend to mention queerness in the back description. 

With the exception of The Spy with the Red Balloon, these are all books I have read or are currently reading. If you want to recommend others, feel free to do so in the replies!

You can find my other queer book recommendations here.

Links to the queer books database (or Goodreads if the book hasn’t been added yet) are available below the cut. You can find information on content warnings there.

Ravenclaw: I have to catch a portkey at 5:30AM tomorrow, so I would have to get up at 3:30AM just to make it to the portkey. So I think I'm just not going to sleep.

Hufflepuff: I don't think that makes sense.

Ravenclaw: It doesn't, but I'm doing it anyway.
