Recs if you like No Shelter But the Stars...

every struggled to find actual lesbian/sapphic books when at the library or bookstore? so did I!

bc of said struggle, I started to curate a personal list of books that either has lesbian MCs and/or featured a primary sapphic romance.

i haven't read all of these, but I do try my diligence in confirming that they meet the above perimeters, since many books claim to be sapphic when they're not. this is an ever updating list, only fiction for now!

in progress - taking suggestions

Basically, a huge list of every book I ever heard features sapphic / lesbian 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.

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

Books I saved from my TikTok feed that were labelled as Science Fiction!

Note: The Sapphic story in The Revanche Cycle tetralogy (Winter's Reach) continues in the Wisdom's Grave trilogy (Sworn To The Night), which also has the final HEA. However the two series can be read independently of each other.

Books with sapphic relationships where they both live, and/or have a happy ending. This collection of books has been recommended to me based off of a post I made in the sapphic across genres forum. This is made in order to try combat the media's tendencies of killing off the sapphics (when they actually do decide to give us representation). please be aware that I haven't read most of these, so they may not be entirely accurate to the list title. I am open to any suggestions as well!

I got a request for a list of sapphic fiction/romances with ambiguous covers that wouldn't be flagged by their country's customs and subsequently tossed. Thought I'd post it here, in case it might benefit someone else!

A smattering of Queer stories that are not talked about enough. They aren't all happy endings but they tell important stories. Some YA some Adult - so read the description!

I asked the gay people on the internet to give me queer book recommendations and this is what they sent me! I have not read any books on this list. If you have others you think I should read, let me know :)
