Most Anticipated LGBTQ+ Romances: January-June 2025

So Not My Type by Dana Hawkins (January 5th) Sophie Black has clawed her way up from coffee runs to project manager at a top Seattle ad agency. She’s laser-focused on her career—until the CEO’s daughter, Ella Northwood, joins the team. Forced to work together on a high-stakes campaign, sparks fly as Sophie’s scrappy determination clashes with Ella’s polished privilege. But there’s more to both…

Would love some recs for queer books centering on fandom or nerd culture if you've got 'em! Especially YA, but I'll take any age category!

Oh this is such a love of mine. First of all, if you haven’t read MK England, you are in for a treat - check out their Romance under Remi K. England, The One True Me and You, and their upcoming Roll for Love. Christen Randall’s The No-Girlfriend Rule was a big fave of mine this year, and def also try Queens of Geek by Jen Wilde, My Year Zero by Rachel Gold, Looking for Group by Alexis Hall, and, for a thriller, Even if We Break by Marieke Nijkamp.

Less nerd culture but heavier on fandom, two huuuuuge faves of mine are Beating Heart Baby by Lio Min and How to Repair a Mechanical Heart by J.C. Lillis. Like all-time, please do not miss them faves. I also really liked Starworld by Audrey Coulthurst and Paula Garner (but know that it is not a Romance!) and I haven’t read The Princess and the Fangirl by Ashley Poston, but it’s def a good fit and I loved Geekerella, which came first but wasn’t queer.

Books with masculine bi women please (preferably them in sapphic relationship) but I am alright with others too!

ok so it's hard to say if these are genuinely intended as masc characters, & some i would be a little on the fence about labelling as such, but they're the most not-fem bi characters i can think of

abbott by saladin ahmed

the light brigade by kameron hurley

unconquerable sun by kate elliott

in the event of love by courtney kae (love interest)
