Recs if you like The Bone Spindle (The Bone Spindle, #1)...

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.

No Hans Christian Andersen on this list. Retellings based on...Twelve Dancing Princesses, Cinderella, The Goose Girl, Snow White, Snow White + Rose Red, Rapunzel, Hansel + Gretel, Rumplestiltskin, Bluebeard, Little Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty, The Frog Prince, King Thrushbeard, The Pied Piper, The Six Swans, The Brave Little Tailor, Bearskin, Puss in Boots, Allerleirauh, The Wolf + the Fox, The Pink, Maid Maleen, Brother + Sister, The Golden Goose, The Six Swans, etc. As always… no Gaiman

Another resource for those looking for butches in books.

Disclaimer: I do not necessarily recommend all of these books. Please check out my page for reviews of the ones I’ve read!

because who doesn’t want a strong, kind butch in their life that’s a little dumb?

inspired by the himbo quest but make it butch <3 all genres included and suggestions always welcome! stud, butch, masc, and any variant included, too, whether they officially use the title or not :)

full disclosure: i have not (yet) read all of these, so if the butchness or himboness is lacking for one, do comment.

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.

Retellings of classics, fairy tales and myths with a queer twist

Retelling of classic fairytales and stories where at least one character is a different gender than the original HRCYED 3.0- Retellings

(mostly sapphic) good queer books on my personal wishlist that have an added benefit of looking beautiful on the shelf!

Sometimes our childhood needs a little ✨️

Alice in wonderland, Cinderella, Mulan, Princess and the frog, Red riding hood, Little mermaid, Peter pan, Tarzan, Sleeping beauty, Snow white, Beauty and the beast, Rapunzel, ect...

Different genre so read at your own discretion 🤭

Not your Grandmas Fairytale Retellings

I love YA. It can suck pretty bad when the books try to copy each other. But when some of those gems pop up...wowza! Who knew you could tell such a hard-hitting story without having to resort to 1,000 pages & sex?
