A collection of thematic recs and comprehensive lists, as well as community masterlists
The following is a collection of thematic lists which include personal recs, comprehensive collections and some community masterlists, most of which have been recced in this post and some that I stumbled upon while perusing them. If you know of any others you'd like added please leave a comment below.
These haven't been organized by themes/genres as I had hoped to do (in fact, they lack any real organization at all), as many of them have multiple genres and listing them all would be a long and ultimately not very practical job. Still, better than nothing. And yes, I did pimp my own lists, but you're welcome to do the same too. Gotta start the collection somewhere and all that.
ETA: New additions added to the bottom.
