Recs if you like Full Disclosure...
an ongoing sapphic masterlist of books (1800+)
in progress - taking suggestions
Basically, a huge list of every book I ever heard features sapphic / lesbian 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.
Don't shoot the messenger.
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
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.
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!
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! :)
PDX Queer Book Club
Middle Grade & YA Asexual Novels
Novels with Asexual Representation geared towards Middle Grade and Young Adult
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).
the AIDS crisis depicted in fiction
teenage love 💌
books that make you yearn for the high school sweetheart you've never had
Books for drag queens
Books I recommended to the season 13 queens of RuPaul's Drag Race
