Recs if you like Coffeeshop in an Alternate Universe...

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!

in progress - taking suggestions

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.

Don't shoot the messenger.

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

standalone fantasy under 400 pages

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

This list is a comfort-reads pantry of low-stakes fantasy where food and drink are the magic. Every pick centers a kitchen, café, tea room, coffee bar, bakery, cocktail or anything food as the heart of the story, with conflicts that stay gentle, community-minded plots, and endings that leave you soothed rather than stressed. Cozy, sensory escapes and character growth over battles!

books set in coffee shops or with a coffee shop as a primary location. often cozy, comforting tales of friendship and love, sometimes with a dash of action and mystery. the perfect thing to warm you up on a cold day.

inspired by the caramel latte that singlehandedly saved me from freezing to death on my walk to work this morning

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

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 asked readers in the Club forum What was your first read for Pagebound? Allowing for it to be either their first recorded book on Pagebound or the first they read for a badge. These were the answers I got. Additions are always welcome.

Books with sapphic relationships where they both live, and/or have a happy ending. This collection of books has been recommended to me based off of a post I made in the sapphic across genres forum. This is made in order to try combat the media's tendencies of killing off the sapphics (when they actually do decide to give us representation). please be aware that I haven't read most of these, so they may not be entirely accurate to the list title. I am open to any suggestions as well!

books that as far as I know are sapphic in some way, that have come out either last year, this year, or next year
