Send me a list of your favorite books starring queer women. My kindle is thirsty.
@guerrillarain I'd also be remiss if I didn't recommend the books Dreadnought and Sovereign by April Daniels. Protagonist is a trans woman superhero, written by a trans woman, and the primary secondary character is a woman of colour. Made me feel a lot of feelings, if only for the intensely accurate descriptions of being alive while trans. Lots of feels in these ones, at least for trans people.
@nergdron @guerrillarain seconding dragonoak. it operates in a world where cishetsupremacy never happened, so while every character is some kind of queer, queerness is entirely and refreshingly mundane.
@garbados @guerrillarain yeah! deals with trans people, queer and poly relationships as if they're just the norm and accepted for the most part, all with pervasive use of proper pronouns and things. even though the world was full of conflict, it felt very much like a world I could live in and not be uncomfortable being myself.
plus. perhaps the best portrayal of necromancers I've ever seen. as an aspiring necromancer, it was very very heartening.
@guerrillarain the Ancillary Justice series sort of counts, in that the default pronoun for everybody is female, and it isn't "clarified" for like 80% of the characters, so there's a lot of relationships that parse as queer women. XD
I just finished reading the Fifth Season trilogy, and there's an explicitly queer female couple in that, as well as abundant bi/queer relationships and casual trans people.
@green I have the Fifth Season! Haven't read it yet, but it is next up.
Here's a list of books that feature bi women from Autostraddle:

@guerrillarain Storm Season by Pene Hanson. I liked it a lot even though it is romance and I usually have trouble liking romance.
Also, agreeing with all the people who said Dragonoak.
@guerrillarain A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet has some queer women in it. It's a happy, optimistic, sci-fi of a bunch of weirdos making their own family together.
@guerrillarain I suppose Nevada, by Imogen Binnie, might count?
@ebel I think someone else recommended it as well, so sure! Thank you!
@guerrillarain I just finished Every Heart a Doorway. It's good. Sorta fantasy/light horror. Has queer rep. Won Hugo for best novella
@guerrillarain Dragonoak series is fantastic, really loved it. also really enjoyed Jacqueline Koyanagi's Ascension, which stars queer characters that are also explicitly POC.
