Find your next great LGBTQ+ read — right from Discord.

Gay Book List brings a community-curated catalog of LGBTQ+ books into your server. Look up titles, discover what's worth reading, and keep track of your own shelves without ever leaving the chat.

NOTE: This page has some general information on the bot for informational purposes, but the support server or the website for support and additional information.

Some Commands

• /book — Look up any LGBTQ+ book by title or author (typo-friendly search)
• /top — See the top-rated books in a genre
• /list — Browse curated, editorially-picked reading lists
• /series — Get a series in reading order
• /share — Drop a rich link preview of a book, list, series, author, or reading calendar straight into chat
• /calendar — Share one of your own public reading calendars
• /rate — Rate and review books you've read
• /shelf — Build and manage your own reading shelves
• /status — Track what you're reading, want to read, or have finished

Free & private

• Completely free to add and use — no paywalls, no premium tier.
• No account needed to search and browse. Linking your Gay Book List account is only required to rate books or manage shelves.
• It can't read your messages. The bot works entirely through slash commands and only responds when someone runs one — no message-content access, no tracking.
