in progress - taking suggestions

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.

Don't shoot the messenger.

I'm sure some of these are already on your TBR, so might as well add some more! Let me know if I am missing any of your favorites!

There will be no one breasting boobily anywhere here.

Some criteria:

• women characters should be multidimensional with their own goals, agendas, and flaws
• the main character should be a woman, and there should be at least one other female character who is significant to the plot
• women characters’ role should not be defined solely by her relationship to a man
• author is a cis man
• one book per author

Let’s hold male authors to a higher standard because it is possible.

Books that feels like a DND campaign - heists, quests, and adventures galore. These books have a big cast of misfit characters and plenty of action

(all-genres) fiction involving robberies. please leave recs!

magic systems in fantasy that resemble and incorporate real or fictional sciences! for the fantastical scientists that want magic inscriptions that feel like coding, alchemy, and magical equations fueling spells!

A collection of sapphic fantasy books that I have seen recommended across tiktok

Dragons, vampires, fae, and the gays.

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

Collected lists of Fantasy themed WLW, both suggested by other Pagebound readers and myself! ☺️

I went through all the books in the romance quest tab and here are all the ones where at least one of leads is in a relationship that is not "man and woman falling in love with each other." F/F, M/M, F/NBi, M/NBi, NBi/NBi, etc. Largely motivated by wanting to figure out which romance book quests I had a chance of getting the badges for. If I missed any, let me know. Quest specific info in the pinned comment.

I've listed the first if it's a series to help you begin!

Epic fantasy where battles, survival, and legacy drive the story. Love may exist in the background, but here it’s war, quests, and struggles that take center stage.

Dystopian, Sci-fi, Space opera

criteria: gay, armed

A collection of well-written sapphic genre books where the "sapphicness" is more than just having a woman with a male love interest who happens to be bisexual. None of the books here have an f/m ending (unless there are multiple protagonists and at least one have an f/f relationship)

This will get updated in time since I don't want to recommend books I haven't read but I'll take requests if you want to give me any!

A fun collection of D&D like adventure books or after adventure stories

For the girls, gays and theys. Lady knights, wlw romance, badass FMCs, and un-put-downable plots 🙂‍↕️

Books where a woman is has another consciousness inside her head communicating with her. A personal favorite trope of mine. Feel free to comment books to add!

Aka my favourite fantasy subgenre where we get both magic and intricate plannings to pull off something previously thought impossible (usually a break-in of some kind) and often everything then turns out to be much more complicated than previously thought

(For series I only included the first book of each)
