Again, there are good books on this list. For She is Wrath and Don't Let the Forest In look intriguing. This Motherless Land might be better than Wahala but I might skip it. Can you recommend me a book to read from this list? Are they any good?

I think the The Blue Hour and Don't Let the Forest In are quite interesting!
I enjoyed This Motherless Land, was lucky to receive an ARC.
Qu**r romance? So is it gay or lesbian? Are the characters bisexual? Characters could be bisexual and end up in a m/f relationship. That term means nothing at all and I avoid books that use it. Specific > vague.
@dany The mc is ace, so it falls under the umbrella of queer without specifically being gay or lesbian. You could read the actual synopsis and reviews to learn more.
@dany The MC is ace, so their terminology is both fitting and specific.
Don't let the Forest In is amazing and I'm so glad that its getting more hype <3

Louise Penny is an innovative and fun author. I can't wait to read The Grey Wolf!

It encompasses anyone who is not cisgender and/or heterosexual. That's it. Not everyone can just be put in a particular box. If you don't like the term, or only like really specific book relationships, just skip it. This is a you problem.

Thank you for providing this list of books! So many new books are released that it can be overwhelming to find a list, so I already appreciate people putting in the effort. I added several of these to my TBR! I'm not sure why the people who comment on these are often just there to say "I don't like any of these" but I mean...I guess all opinions are welcome? Like make your own list??
