Recs if you like The Book of Blood and Roses...

every struggled to find actual lesbian/sapphic books when at the library or bookstore? so did I!

bc of said struggle, I started to curate a personal list of books that either has lesbian MCs and/or featured a primary sapphic romance.

i haven't read all of these, but I do try my diligence in confirming that they meet the above perimeters, since many books claim to be sapphic when they're not. this is an ever updating list, only fiction for now!

i can’t stop noticing bowl of mac & cheese titles. everywhere

I'm sure some of these are already on your TBR, so might as well add some more! Let me know if I am missing any of your favorites!

Fantasy books with queer rep

We should all be reading queer, all year, but this list is full of upcoming queer books of all makes and models coming out in 2026. If you have a rec to add, just please keep in mind we’re looking for 2026 releases!

Another resource for those looking for butches in books.

Disclaimer: I do not necessarily recommend all of these books. Please check out my page for reviews of the ones I’ve read!

All the lesbians books I can find. If you have any book you want me to add please comment ❤️

collecting all 2026 releases featuring sapphic romance!!

Is it healthy? Absolutely not. Am I going to look inward and unpack why I love it? Also no. Is it Gay? Definitely. Am I going to read books filled with obsession, rivalry, manipulation, betrayal, codependency, and dangerous sapphic longing? Obviously.

i'm kicking my feet with anticipation for these books to finally be in my hands (physically or digitally but as always, mostly through my library apps) so it was only right i make a list to share with the class! happy lezzing out in 2026 💌

sapphic books that i don't see people talk about that often and that deserve more attention!! most of these books have 1000, oftentimes under 500 ratings

A collection of sapphic fantasy books that I have seen recommended across tiktok

because who doesn’t want a strong, kind butch in their life that’s a little dumb?

inspired by the himbo quest but make it butch <3 all genres included and suggestions always welcome! stud, butch, masc, and any variant included, too, whether they officially use the title or not :)

full disclosure: i have not (yet) read all of these, so if the butchness or himboness is lacking for one, do comment.

this is an ongoing list of lgbtqiap+ books (across all genres, and age groups) that are planned to be released in 2026. if you’re an arc reader, you can also check whether any of them are available as arcs!! feel free to suggest books to add, since I’ll work on this list over time as well 🥰

last books added in: january!

We need more rival lesbians!!!!!!!! Sapphic recommendations of any genre welcome 🫶🏻

general content warning: vampires, death/murder, cannibalism, gore, ecological horror. Basically if there are lesbians and it's scary, it will be here. Some books are still on my TBR.

High Fantasy & Low-stakes fantasy

Every year we get more and more queer books in more and more diverse genres and I for one would like to roll around in all of them from sheer joy 🙂‍↕️ since I can’t do that here is a list to metaphorically roll around in instead.

Disclaimer: all books had 2026 releases at the time of adding. The publishing industry does change things around though.
