Recs if you like Full Disclosure...
an ongoing lesbian / sapphic masterlist (2300+)
Basically, a huge list of books from all genres featuring sapphic characters, whether bisexual, lesbian, butch, femme, or anything in between.
Includes fiction and nonfiction. Books with spice, and books with very little romance alike. You may find epic lady knights, pirates, ancient vampires or just weird girl adventures, heartbreaking stories or cozy books of found family and queer joy. Memoirs, historical fiction, instruction manuals, maybe even a poem or two.
Welcoming suggestions<3
Queer and Disabled
Intersectionality, baby! Disability includes many conditions, including - but not limited to - physical disabilities, chronic illnesses, psychiatric disabilities, sensory disabilities, and neurodivergence.
black lesbian/wlw books
Asexuality? In My Fiction?
Ace spectrum representation in fiction! We've got a little of everything - aroace, grayace, demi...my main condition for this list is that the ace character has to explicitly be asexual.
Recommendations welcome!
THEATRE GAYS
Whichever performance art style you want, as long as it's queer. Also see my "Do Be a Drag" list for drag specific recs/TBR.
Every YA Sapphic book
All the YA Sapphic books that have been published (or at least most of them). The books in this list have at least one main character who is either a lesbian, bisexual or pansexual. I only put the first books in series.
I can't remember the title, but the cover is blue
Ah yes, this ol' issue that has plagued librarians and bookstore clerks for decades.
And sometimes you find the right book, but... can you even call that shade blue?
Queer Black Books
Books where the main character is black and part of the lgbt community! A lot of these came from recommendations on a post I made here, thank you to everyone who replied! And feel free to recommend more! :)

In Her Tears, A Black Woman's Strength
Literary and contemporary fiction with Black FMCs that will make your heart break into a million pieces and then knit itself back together (hopefully). Specifically wanted to curate books that all also come with tough topics and hefty doses of warnings for major possible triggers. Check the comments for specific warnings tagged to individual books (mostly major stuff, recommend doing some research before diving in if there are other things you don't want to read about no matter how minor).
