i’m not sure if anyone has already said this but for dark academia and thriller book “They Never Learn” by Layne Fargo is one of my most favourite books ever. it’s amazing. also morally grey but in the best way. i can’t recommend this book enough honestly
Vampire lesbians: The Gilda Stories by Jewelle Gomez Pink Pony Club Vibes: The Harlem Renaissance Mysteries series by Nekesa Afia (starts with Dead Dead Girls)
I don’t know if you’re up for requests on queer books, but I’ve been watching your channel for a while now and just wanted to suggest a few, not sure if you’ve read these or not! 1. Hell Followed With Us (this features a trans MC and a bunch of other gay and lesbian people, including somebody who uses xe/xyr pronouns, which I thought was really cool!) 2. Heaven Official’s Blessing (this one’s a bit strange so beware of the writing style! I’m only a few chapters in so I’m a bit terrified 😅) 3. I’m not sure if you take manga suggestions if any, but I do suggest ‘Gay who turned Kaiju,’ it has some very..interesting takes, to say the least. Thank you for the amazing queer book recommendations and content!
Do you have any recommendations that are roommates to lovers that are not her royal highness. I read that book and needed something similar. Let me know if anyone has any recommendations! Thx!
gay + dark academia + thriller / psychological describes my favorite book of all time Plain Bad Heroines by Emily M. Danforth! A Lesson in Vengeance by Victoria Lee could also fit the description
have you read Six Times We Almost Kissed (And One Time We Did) by Tess Sharpe? It doesn't fit with any of the prompts but I very much enjoyed it. Slow burn, (slight) enemies to lovers, forced proximity. the story outside of the romance was really interesting, the characters were great and it explored some pretty interesting themes like illness and grief. I thought that it'd be a simple WLW romance but turned out much deeper imo
I just finished Dead Tide by Jane Marks and thought of you. Somehow Kindle keeps helping me find sapphic mysteries to read, the best. My top 3 Haley Cass books are Down to a Science, When You Least Expect It, and Better Than Expected. I'm really looking forward to The Snowball Effect, which is about Surton's friends.
I have been watching you for a while and I love your videos ❤ thank you for giving us all the lgbtq+ book recommendations and reviews that you do. I've gotten my gf into a few books that you've talked about and she enjoyed them ☺️
LMAO Yes! Carmilla was also a big part of my queer journey! I remember reading it on some pdf like forever ago and watching that webseries 😂😂 Also for spicy I LOVED On The Same Page by Haley Cass and the sequel novella The Next Chapters. Those books aren't like super super spicy but the spice that's there is sooooo good! It's a best friends to lovers trope and had me feeling giggly, giddy, kicking my feet, crying, laughing! My fav reads of 2024 although there were a lot of typos that bugged me but the content is great!
Imma ask anyone here, anyone know a slow burn wlw fantasy romance? I want them to be affectionate in the book but no explicit smut scenes cuz it makes me uncomfortable
Oh and a rec for a spicy book…Tryst Six Venom by Penelope Douglas. Did it need to be almost 600 pages? No. Is there some iffy stuff going on in the background…sure. But the smut was so good and hot and ngl I wish Penelope Douglas would write more than just this one f/f book
Thanks for the video! Haley Cass is my favorite sapphic romance author, she's amazing. You should definitely dive into her other books.
I 100% agree, I need to read them all!
Sapphic books! Perfect video to watch while writing my own sapphic romance hehe
If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio is also a great gay dark academia thriller
For lesbian vampires check out "The Gilda Stories" by Jewelle Gomez! So amazing

Hi, I've watched most of your videos. I'm so much impressed by the quality of your contents. I think, you deserve more engagements.
for the gay + dark academia + thriller / psychological you can read THESE VIOLENT DELIGHTS BY MICAH NEMEREVER
adding that to my list right now
How could I NOT remember Carmilla?!
Do you have any recommendations that are roommates to lovers that are not her royal highness. I read that book and needed something similar. Let me know if anyone has any recommendations! Thx!

Thrillers but gay:
They'll never catch us by Jessica Goodman
You're not supposed to die tonight by Kalynn Bayron
LAST NIGHT AT THE TELEGRAPH CLUB AS PINK PONY CLUB ILL CRY

making notes immediately!!
Ordering In My Dreams I Hold a Knife rn 🏃🏃
you will not regret it
For lesbian vampires I would add Ex Wives of Dracula by Georgette Kaplan. One of my favourite books ever.
I adored In My Dreams I Hold a Knife! Another book for the gay dark academia/thriller category is definitely Fraternity by Andy Mientus
*adds to notes*
The most interesting and thrilling sapphic book I've read this year was hands down Biography of X. Brilliant book.
I’ve seen this everywhere!! Need to add it to my list
I’ve just found ur channel and I keep scrolling to see ur posts and I’m yet to find one of ur vids that I don’t want to watch immediately

i’m not sure if it qualifies as slow burn but i’d recommend The Honey Witch

If it’s sapphic books and youre mentioning bi sapphics as well, please use the sapphics flag instead of lesbian one, it’s very misleading
