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.

although i am not jewish myself, i believe thoroughly that zionism is not a requirement for judaism and therefore it must be accepted to proudly support jewish voices against the genocide. here are some books by anti-zionist authors to support this jewish american heritage month and beyond!

Fantasy inspired by Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Albania, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, and/or Russia (myths, setting, etc.) Will also be including Slavic inspired fantasy books here as well.

"Place as character" is usually reserved for lush descriptions that bring environments to life, and less often used for environments that have a life of their own. This list includes houses, homes, castles, spaceships, anywhere people will spend time and call home. Not meant to include haunted houses, but a case could be argued for specific ones. c:

Only including the first in a series unless books feature different sentient places.

Here's every book so far from BOTM's monthly shortlist since February 2015 for anyone who wants to read them all like I do!

a smattering of different mythology & legend retellings

a compiled list of all the "underrated" or otherwise overlooked books from the various cultures of our very own pagebound community, inspired by all of your wonderful recommendations!

i'm always open to further suggestions from your own culture if you have any books you think deserve a further spotlight or you don't see them mentioned here.

A masterlist of standalone adult fantasy novels (no novellas).

Always looking for recs!

Buildings that have strong opinions, rearrange floor plans or don't stay where you left them.

creeping vines, twisting thorns, bleeding hearts and rotted bones...

Love casts a spell; the real monster is oppression. Modern magical realism, urban fantasy, and fabulism: books that use supernatural elements to explore themes of family, desire, history, and society.

Historical, mythological and just general witchy reads. Credit to @tvcr4wler for their list burn the witch! where I got some of these. Suggestions welcome.

Feel free to recommend books for this list 🙂‍↕️

This week is Jewish Book Week! To celebrate, we compiled a list of our favorite books with queer Jewish characters. Also includes queer books by Jewish authors that don't necessarily include obvious Jewish representation. (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators! A group of us collaborate to make these recommendations.)

A list of Jewish fantasy books (mostly adult or ya). These books have Jewish characters, themes, or based on Jewish mythology.
