I’ve really been slacking on my Wyrd & Wonder plans, but there’s still time to put together a book rainbow of LGBT+ book recommendations
Wyrd & Wonder is a month-long celebration of the fantastic hosted by imyril @ There’s Always Room for One More, Lisa @ Dear Geek Place and Jorie @ Jorie Loves a Story.
The Tarot Sequence by K.D. Edwards – an amazing high-magic, high-action with some of the best characters and relationships I know. Only in the main cast there is gay, bi and ace rep, with more in the supporting cast. My review of book 1, and book 2, you can tell how much I loved it by the dancing
A Charm of Magpies by K.J. Charles – an m\m romance with a dark mystery, great snark and two men falling for each other when they really shouldn’t. My review
The Singing Hills Cycle by Nghi Vo – I’ve only read The Empress of Salt and Fortune so far but I loved this atmospheric novella where history is collected by a non-binary archivist
Touch by Claire North – an urban fantasy crime chase across Europe with a non-binary head-hopping-ghost protagonist
The Kingston Cycle by C.L. Polk – also only read book one, Witchmark, so far, but I loved it, an m/m mystery-solving romance which involves a bicycle chase. My review
Arcane Ascension by Andrew Rowe – a magic school/ tower climbing progression fantasy with an asexual main character.
