Recs if you like The Last Bookstore on Earth...

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!

Bibliophilia at its best - books about books, readers, libraries, bookstores!

also known as “cozy catastrophes,” these are books that deal with a post-apocalyptic and/or dystopian world but are still hopeful, uplifting, or just leave you with more of a postive feeling!

Queer & trans stories in apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic worlds

First of a series only

Sister list to: Zombies, but make it Queer

As always, suggestions incredibly welcome!

☣

Note: Not specifically a list of good LGBTQ+ representation (though many of them absolutely are, and many are written by queer and/or trans authors!). But I haven't read all of them (yet), so this list doesn't inherently imply my recommendation, as such

♡ ₍^. .^₎⟆

Dystopian matchmaking: romance and love stories that happen against all odds

literally just give me yearning at the end of the world

a definitely not exhaustive list of apocalypse books with queer characters

{ recommendations welcome }

If you ask someone what apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic fiction they've read, there's a fair chance much of that list will have been written by cis men, because they're the books that get the most promotion in the genre.

My hope is that this list will help someone find a new favourite author! ♡

Sister list to: Zombie Apocs - No Cis-Male Authors Allowed

First of a series only

Suggestions so welcome, particularly for trans, enby, & other authors of marginalised genders

⚞^. .^⚟

adult and young adult books about queer women/girls surviving in apocalyptic dystopias (zombies, viruses, disasters, evil governments, etc.) because even the end of the world wouldn’t stop me from being super gay.

books that as far as I know are sapphic in some way, that have come out either last year, this year, or next year

"i do it for the girls and the gays, that's it"

Sapphic stories set right as or right after or after or long after the shit hit the fan.

"an imagined world or society in which there is great suffering or injustice, typically one that is totalitarian or post-apocalyptic. many of the people lead dehumanized and fearful lives"

Sapphic books in German and English ✨

Apocalyptic reads with a big focus on found family. This list meshes all kinds of apocalypses, zombies included.

Recommendations extremely welcome - gimme alllll the found families surviving together! 😍

First of a series only, except in cases where it's further into the series that the found family element really kicks in.

My favourites are the top half of the list, if you want a place to start ;) (There's a few at the very bottom that I haven't yet read myself, so no shade to them!!)

Look at us through every step of History, on every continent and every shape. From distant past to looming future, queer people have been, are, and will be.
