I've recently dnf'd 3 different books for problematic things that the author did not even seem to notice. Very frustrating.
How about some recs of genre titles that are NOT transphobic, bi-erasing, ace-phobic, slut shamey, or misogynistic?
(Enjoy the random pic of my shoes.)
WhatDeeReads Love the shoes!!! I‘m gonna browse your read list and come back with some recs. 7y
WhatDeeReads What were the books you dnf‘d? 7y
BookNAround I‘m not certain which genre you‘re looking for but if Sci fi/fantasy is your thing, I highly recommend The Rook by Daniel O‘Malley. 7y

WhatDeeReads This is one of my favorite quiet beautiful stories without the isms and the ics.Sworn Virgin 7y
Sworn VirginCaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian I am loving this new supernatural thriller / family drama by a queer former sex worker author about a queer woman character!Sodom Road Exit 7y
Sodom Road ExitBookNAround @Bianca I‘m glad I was on the right track. 😁 Unfortunately I don‘t read a ton of Sci fi fantasy though so I don‘t have another suggestion. 😂 7y
CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian @WhatDeeReads I am going to add that to my tbr. Thanks! 7y
dylanisreading @WhatDeeReads Sinner's Gin by Rhys Ford, The Theory of Attraction by Delphine Dryden, and Hard Rhythm by Cecilia Tan (the latter two I tried to read to get out of my comfort zone, and Hard Rhythm had some kink shaming that I didn't like) 7y

llwheeler Have you read JY Yang yet? Black Tides of Heaven and Red Threads of Fortune, both very diverse fantasy (nonbinary, bi, poly, ... probably a lot of others that i'm just not thinking of off the top of my head) 7y
Broke_Girl_Reads Those shoes are fantastic!! If you‘re down with YA, I highly recommend Gentleman‘s Guide for lovely queer rep, awesome looks at life with chronic illness, and a little glimpse at ace rep that‘s going to be explored in subsequent books. Also the plot is ridiculous and funThe Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue 7y
The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtuedylanisreading @llwheeler No! How have I not? It sounds like I've been missing out! 7y
dylanisreading @Broke_Girl_Reads Thank you!! I love YA, but I think I dnf'd it after it first came out because I couldn't stand Monty and it didn't feel historically accurate to me (history major here). Maybe I'll give it a shot on audio. 7y
Broke_Girl_Reads @Bianca oh yeah, you definitely have to have the patience to watch Monty fall on his face several times, and I respect that not everyone has time for that. I did it on audio and I enjoyed the narrator a lot, but no pressure if it‘s not for you! 7y
callielafleur If you like fantasy, I highly recommend The Fifth Season by NK Jemisin. The Broken Earth trilogy is amazing.Fifth Season 7y
Fifth Seasondylanisreading @callielafleur The Fifth Season is amazing! 7y
