Recs if you like Patience & Esther...

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.

Historical fiction books with queer characters

All the lesbians books I can find. If you have any book you want me to add please comment ❤️

aka my "i just love pretty and cool art, especially when it's lesbian/sapphic" list

anyone else waiting for a sapphic bridgerton season? (books with tea parties, big dresses and/or general victorian vibes!) 💗

romance that makes u feel safe and nourished and loved. the best kind of romantic love

It's Lesbian visibility week! Here are 100+ books starring lesbians! Includes some non-fiction about lesbian women. (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.)

Stories that tell the tale of sapphic life and love throughout time

Books with sapphic characters at their center!

This list includes books where the character's queerness is clear, not merely suggested. The sapphic characters have to be central to the story.

The genres go beyond romance, expanding to historical fiction, fantasy, poetry, graphic novels, horror, non-fiction & more.

The selection is still growing 🌈

Happy International Women's Day! Have a huge pile of our favorite books starring queer women (fiction and non-fiction!). (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.)

It's free comic books day, and we love comics and graphic novels every day, so here, have over 150 of our favorite graphic novels starring queer characters. (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.)

novellas, poetry, graphic novels

Books that are really putting the graphic in graphic novel. Beautiful and bountiful illustrated erotica from the best pornsters working in comics!

lgbt+ graphic novels, comics & manga

Sept. 25th is National Comic Book Day, and especially in light of recent platform discourse I've seen about graphic novels and manga reading and tracking on Pagebound, we definitely need more great lists for these! This list is all queer titles, recommended by people who work with Duck Prints Press (the indie publisher I run). This list is actually from 2023 so doesn't include recent stuff.

fun and often sexy lesbian graphic novels

A collection of queer historical romances.
