Recs if you like Quicksand...

Basically, a huge list of books from all genres featuring sapphic characters, whether bisexual, lesbian, butch, femme, or anything in between.

Includes fiction and nonfiction. Books with spice, and books with very little romance alike. You may find epic lady knights, pirates, ancient vampires or just weird girl adventures, heartbreaking stories or cozy books of found family and queer joy. Memoirs, historical fiction, instruction manuals, maybe even a poem or two.

Welcoming suggestions<3

inspired by me watching youtube videos about literary analysis of villains, here is a list full of books in which i believe their villains to be absolutely ghastly and horrifying; bloody and abusive, terrorizing and killing. if you have any to recommend, please put them in the comments! i'd love to make this list large!

If you spend enough time on the bookish internet, you may be led to believe that the sapphic novel was invented yesterday. In my attempt to dispel this notion, I am creating a series of lists that cover lesbian classics by decade!

Note: Not all of the authors/characters represented in these books are lesbians (as we would understand a lesbian today). Nonetheless, I’ve included them on this list due to their historical and cultural significance to the lesbian community.
