Recs if you like Cool for the Summer...

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

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.

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.

🏳️‍🌈 bisexual books for bi babes - ain't no lie, baby, bi bi bi

Natalie Naudus has narrated hundreds of audiobooks so bear with me as I try to get them all on this list!

your fave iconic lesbian books were written by bi+ authors!!!

mostly to oppose the erasure of essential bisexual participation in lesbian literature and misinformation that bi+ women broadly prefer mlm to wlw. most of these authors have several sapphic books so make sure to check out the rest! many are also nonbinary, trans and/or on the aro/ace spectrums so please be mindful of their pronouns, labels (or lack thereof) and gender identities. suggestions welcomed!

i see soooo many books these days where the titles are just song lyrics or titles so here is a list of them. i am ONLY including books that were influenced by a song, not the other way around (example: wuthering heights by kate bush was inspired by the book, so wuthering heights the book will not be on this list).

Summer sapphic books list!!

I have NOT read most of these this is just mostly my tbr for this summer. Let me know if you have any more recommendations 🫶

some of these I cannot see the cover or hear about the book without hearing the song lyrics

not necessarily recommendations, just a compilation

Collecting books that would categorise as romance/romantasy/fantasy with prominent romance subplot that booksandlala has rated 4 stars or higher.

Feel free to suggest more books that would fit into this list, correct wrongly added books or suggest improvements to this list ☺️

Queer young adult contemporary romance books

Needs to be own voices and feature a Jewish main character

romance books where one or more of the leads is bisexual! even in the couple is m/f, at least one of the characters is bi.

Every queer book I’ve ever read and loved. Some might be cliche, cringe, or basic, but I don’t care. Enjoy! I certainly did :)

Note: this list includes both queer-focused novels (romance) and novels of other genres that have queer main characters. Also it will have a lot of Casey McQuiston.
