a (ongoing) sapphic masterlist! (600+ books!)
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!






never the same river twice
books that are so changed by the end that they're entirely different books on the re-read. books best entered blind, with a twist or gradual reveal that is not just surprising, but retroactively rewrites everything you've already read โ the meaning, tone, genre, or intention of every page before it.
"No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man."
recs so so welcome!

Fucked up relationships but make it sapphic
Romantic or not we love a good situationship or just a wtfship. Especially when it's sapphic.
I will keep adding to the list when I find new books fitting it






queer cannibalism
one time I told my friend that I was reading a book about cannibalism and they said, "I think you already told me about this" and I said, "that cannot be true, that has to have been a different gay cannibalism book." also look, I don't know about these emoji.






๐ฟ โI only read nun-fictionโ - bro, same ๐ฟ
Has anyone in your life ever said, that they only read nun-fiction? Well, hereโs a list for that, so you can finally discuss literature with them. Donโt let them look down on you ever again!!!






characters that haunt the narrative
I'm including books where a character's presence is minimal and every character, conflict, and theme leads back to them. Their absence feels loud. Their past decisions shape the present.
Open for recommendations that meet these parameters ๐ I haven't read all the books in this list but feel fairly confident about their inclusion here, if you believe one of these doesn't fit feel free to discuss in the comments
