Recs if you like The Adult...
an ongoing sapphic masterlist of books (1600+)
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.

Wide open for recommendations!

Reading the World: Bahrain
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!

unhealthy queer relationships
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.!
