Book Recs: Trans & Nonbinary Adult Fantasy (II)

22 December, 2024

Last but not least in our trip through LGBT adult fantasy is the second trans & nonbinary rec list! As you might expect, this was a little trickier to fill out than the others (and yes part of that is down to my pickiness), but numbers are increasing! These are just 10 books I’d rec, but there are plenty more on our releases posts (fantasy is here & here!).

And hey, a lot of these titles are available on the artist formerly known as Scribd, so if you want to check out that service but don’t have an account yet, use my invite code to get 2 months for free! (This also gives me one free month.)

You can find the previous posts here, along with the part twos, as I post them:

Lesbian (I) | Gay (I) | Bi/Pan (I) | Trans (I)

Lesbian (II) | Gay (II) | Bi/Pan (II)

Music Releases: LGBT songs of October 2024

11 November, 2024

Yes, okay, I will admit that I’ve already started watching Christmas movies (and if you want some recs, by the way, maybe check out the two lists I made in recent years: one & two), but I’m capable of multitasking and finding music that’s not yet merry. I might have gone a bit overboard with this one, to be honest, it is almost forty hours long…

I also compiled a small playlists of LGBT Palestinian artists, if that’s something of interest for you.

So check out Alexander’s EP here, and of course you can follow him on instagram.

Music Releases: LGBT songs of August 2024

11 September, 2024

It’s not even the second half of the month, so I personally think I’m very early with the post this time around! The length of those playlists is also slowly getting out of hand, but that is a pretty good problem to have, right? Unless you’re actually like me and only listen to three songs on a loop for a year…

I also compiled a small playlists of LGBT Palestinian artists, if that’s something of interest for you.

15 August, 2024

Better late than never! Which is what I’m afraid I’ve been saying at the beginning of the last half a dozen of those posts or so. But alas, time keeps sleeping through my fingers. I bring you almost 26 hours of LGBT music, though, so I hope you will forgive me. Enjoy!
