Just kinda curious :0c anyone have a very specific book title they're interested in- something not super common or talked about that much but still has a following that you're into? Those kinda books where others have heard of em but you're the only one in the group who's read it sorta thing! I'm looking to expand the books I know and such!
niche book fandoms
Do the Captive Prince books count? I'm a slut for romance and reading that series got me back to reading after a long while of not finding anything that fit my tastes anymore. Turns out the best way to find queer fantasy romance novels is to just go on amazon and take a leap of faith. Anyway, I still like to re-read those and occasionally I see stuff about them around tumblr. I find it hard to get myself to read books because I don't wanna waste my time on a story that's gonna have a disappointing ending or characters I won't care about, so I have to be really sure I'll at least moderately like a thing to read it.
Anyway, far as my amazon lottery fantasy queer romances go, the Nightrunner series by Lynn Flewelling is great. It's much more focused on the fantasy than the romance but I prefer it that way than the other way around usually. Then again I've only read two of those so far, so I might end up disliking the series later. There's like 7 of them. Oh! I also remember reading this one book series that I found from amazon a long time ago. It was like the Red Riding Hood but gay and with angst and then there were aliens???? It got really weird towards the end and the romance got stale. Too much ya style soap opera drama. The name of it was Scarlet and the White Wolf and oh look there's more of them now? *proceeds to resist the temptation to read them*
So that's my niche book story. Treasures from amazon for my precious queer heart.
On a side note we already have a what-are-you-reading? thread https://bimbo.land/forum/what-are-you-reading-audiobooks-count-too/t3436
And a general is-anyone-into-books-and-has-recs? thread https://bimbo.land/forum/books/t1851?page=1

Oh! Sorry about the double thread then I didn't realize those two were there, I hope my question is still specific enough to earn it's own but :0c !
I like the idea that nightrunners has but let me know if you ever find that red riding hood twist? It sounds like somethin interesting for sure

I feel like this is kind of a standalone topic, but I guess we'll find out in the future if it isn't.
I don't think I'm going to go back to the Scarlet and the White Wolf books. I read them when I was in middle school, up to the 4th one, and if I thought the relationship drama was contrived then then I'll surely dislike it now. I love the first one and I know I have a paperback of it around somewhere. It's interesting and sets up the world and characters and piques your interest, but then in the end I was disappointed with where the books went. They aren't horrible, they're right in the middle of enjoyment levels when I read them. I think they're as good as all the mainstream ya fae fantasy books. So they're average.
But inspired by this thread I went and looked up Yet Another Queer Fantasy book, Family of lies: Sebastian, and the summary was so great I had to have it. It was crazy dificult to find this even as an ebook so I hope it's as good as its summary.
