Recs if you like The Adult...

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.

my personal wlw library so… a lot of classic lesbian lit, basically

Name-calling and insults you might hear on the playground and beyond...

Anything can be an insult if you believe it! My kid brother used to get in trouble for calling us "you...you BEAN" with all the spite his little preschool self could manage 🥹

my attempt at collecting queer books so our history doesn't become lost + to hopefully interest others within it too.

*please note I'd love recommendations on works i may have missed!!

Any sapphic book that I feel falls in the category of lit fic

A list of books I have come across when looking for books that fit this theme. Please leave a comment if there is something I should add.

All sorts of stories about all sorts of women. Mostly litfic, some horror.

canadian author emily r austin's recommended books, as taken from her website!

sad, weird lesbians in literary fiction (or similar genres)

A collection of all kinds of wlw books from all kinds of genres!

Enjoy my newest lit series, ‘Reading the World’, in an attempt to diversify your own reading and broaden horizons, I have included a mix of genres. Sensitive topics often lie ahead as history, social and political issues are usually the centre of this writing. Enjoy!

Shaelin Bishop (aka ShaelinWrites) is a Canadian writer and YouTuber who makes lots of great videos with really helpful writing advice. She also has two videos called "The Writer's Syllabus" with book recommendations that will help you become a better writer and I decided to make a list of them here!

any book that focuses on a queer person or relationship, as someone falls apart or behaves questionably. think: age gaps, abusive dynamics, women unraveling, etc.!

messy situationships are fun!
