New year, new list of queer SFF releases I can’t possibly read in a single year. I’m all hype for every single one of these books though.
If you are familiar with my previous queer release lists (like my Queer SFF of 2022 list right here), you know I usually list all the release dates and rep info too. I’m currently working on making that kind of list a lot more efficient and less time consuming for me though in a big new project which will hopefully see the light of day later in the year. As for now, here is just a wild mix of science fiction books releasing in 2024 which have LGBTQIA+ main characters and queernorm worlds. We’re kicking off with just science fiction too because there’s lots (2024 will be amazing!). Stay tuned for part 2 with all the fantasy releases!
