“Atmosphere” by bisexual author Taylor Jenkins Reid of “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo” fame.
Excellent novel about NASA and space shuttle flights in the 1980s, with a lesbian relationship as the core of the story. Highly recommend.

10/10 recommend! “Hilarious, heartbreaking, erotic, philosophical…” novel of war, love, journey, and the occasional “opiatic interlude”.

Beautifully written and great characters. Takes some concentration as it jumps from different time periods, different lives, different countries. But quite beautiful.
Interesting to see the primary character’s sexuality (“LGBT”) be just that, his sexuality, but otherwise irrelevant.

England, 17th century, seething with religious and political discontent, erupted into a violent civil war.
Jacob and fellow soldiers dream of rebuilding their lives.
A darkly erotic tale of passion and obsession. A gripping portrait of a man on the brink of madness. Hailed as a masterpiece.
2001.

Blessings by Nigerian author Chukwuebuka Ibeh.
Subtle, beautiful, soft-spoken, and tender, yet every page feels imminently dangerous. A really good read.
