Recs if you like No Body No Crime...
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!
bi rep
books with bisexual characters (even if they end up with the opposite sex THEY'RE STILL BI)
Queerly Beloved: The Joy Of Sensible Love Starter Pack
A list of happy, healthy, queer romances: the people are generally nice and sensible, the occasional PITA are few, definitely not evil, and put in their place sooner rather than later; problems are solved with a calm and clear head, communication gaps are few and short. If you need a balm for your spirit and experience the joy of love for a bit, here is your list.
๐Here are my blurbs for the books, and my suggested reading order. Almost all are sapphic.
Sapphic Mystery/Thriller/Horror
Another collection of sapphic books that are tagged as horror, thriller, or mystery on Goodreads that I hope to one day read a few of.
Sapphics Solving the Case
A list of (mostly) mystery books with sapphic main characters.
I included some books of other genres that have a strong mystery element.

If I Could Make A Quest: Sapphics Across Genres
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.
New Sapphics
books that as far as I know are sapphic in some way, that have come out either last year, this year, or next year
Sapphic F(r)iction
Women loving women! In literature!
queer year!
this list emerged from my goal to read [undetermined # of queer books] in 2026!
๐ง under construction ๐ง very open to recs with any form of intersectional representation! i want this list to feel welcoming to anyone who wants to embark on a very queer book year ahead!
this list hopes to include: queer & trans authors, stories, characters across intersectional identities, locations, times, age ranges, genres!
Fall romances
Romance books with fall vibes: cozy setting, festive activities, leafy covers or a little bit of something spooky and supernatural!
