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.

Quick reads featuring LGBTQIA+ characters and themes written by BIPOC authors

i amassed this list of sapphic sci-fi and fantasy from various recommendations from reddit and pagebounds and books i found myself! recommendations welcome x

These are all the stories available for FREE on Reactor!

Highly recommend checking them out!

I will do my best to update this every month!

Stories I cannot currently add to the list:

• Anabasis by Amal El-Mohtar

Some of the series that we love about sapphics.

Recommendations and requests welcome

Now that we are all waiting for the new side stories after the ending of Arcane there is a huge empty space begging to be satisfied with the same feeling of season one (mostly, season two went very middle class and we lost the potential of what could have been one of the greatest revolutionary stories in recent media)

Criteria for the books consist generally • Class schisms • Political intrigue • Moral questions of privilege and responsibility • Picks with queer stories

Fantasy novellas and short stories that pack the punch of a 1000-page epic

SFFH novellas for when you don't have the time for an 800 page epic but crave that mineral. rich worlds and characters that linger in your mind. includes queer, diverse, intersectional reads. Recs welcome, this is a work of love in progress ✨

sff books that include sapphic couples

Steampunk is a fusion of our history (usually Victorian or western) and science fiction/fantasy with advance technology that runs on steam.

Audiobooks that are less than 10 hours long and are safe for work AKA not aiming to get you (too) horned up at your desk (no guarantees that you won't cry or get the creeps though). Recommendations welcome!

All excellent stories

more mystery stories with queer detectives/protagonists! cozies, noir, romance, paranormal, and sci-fi/fantasy mashups abound, but no thrillers, to my knowledge. tried not to repeat too many books also in the quest! series represented by #1

Fantasy with elements of crime, detective, or noir fiction; sometimes known as Occult Detective Fiction.

Books that are short but impactful. Some of these I read years ago and still think about unprompted sometimes. (I tried to keep these below 250 pages)

Please feel free to recommend your own favourites in the comments! ^^

The (now defunct) podcast titled Keeping It 101: A Killjoy's Introduction to Religion offered an academic, intersectional look at religions around the world. They often included homework in their episodes to expand upon what they discussed. This list compiles all of the books they suggest.
