Recs if you like When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain...

in progress

Basically, a huge list of every book I ever heard features sapphic characters.

I have not read all of these, so I cannot be sure of the amount of the time on page of the sapphic characters or of the quality of the books.

Some of these I do not plan to read at all, since they are not my style. If you feel like a book doesn't belong here, let me know.

For my favs / read, check out my other lists & shelves.

Open to suggestions for more titles.

Don't shoot the messenger.

We love books with a verbose title, and this list celebrates them! Suggestions welcome 🤗

Speculative (sci-fi, fantasy, horror etc.) novellas less than 200 pages long that are either standalone or read like a standalone story

Quick reads featuring LGBTQIA+ characters and themes written by BIPOC authors

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

Stories with a sapphic main character of color, across genres and age groups. 🔞

Recommendations welcome!

✦ I have not read all of these books - if you notice anything that seems to be mis-labeled/mis-placed on this list, please let me know! ✦

Novellas that are a decent bite of literature and a full meal despite being compact. Like a burrito on a commute to work. AKA my full novella master list

Collected lists of Fantasy themed WLW, both suggested by other Pagebound readers and myself! ☺️

Why deal with heterosexuality when you don't have to?

Books with sapphic characters at their center!

This list includes books where the character's queerness is clear, not merely suggested. The sapphic characters have to be central to the story.

The genres go beyond romance, expanding to historical fiction, fantasy, poetry, graphic novels, horror, non-fiction & more.

The selection is still growing 🌈

Queerness blurs lines between genders, sexualities, and families. Maybe also...between the human and the animal? Enjoy these fiction books that allow things to get a little fuzzy.

fiction books that have a main character or prominent side character that fits the D&D Cleric class (at least partly). here for the healing and the bashing, the penitence to a chosen god, the general devoted magic vibes! recs and input welcome!
