Recs if you like Are You My Mother? A Comic Drama...

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.

LGBT*+ graphic novels / comics / manga +

Fluff to smut, including 18+ etc aka not exclusive to anything specific other than being queer content (queer & queer-rep inclusive stories). I have read a good handful of the ones now at the bottom of the list. Includes intended middle-grade-ish-level youth content to adult audience content.

In progress / updated over time. Mostly serving as an all-in-one-spot list until Pagebound figures something out that works well for multi-genre/format exploration. :)

(recs highly welcome) Attempting a highly exhaustive list.

Memoirs, histories, guidebooks. Real life narratives told through creative expression.

the complicated inheritance of being someone's daughter. maternal wounds, generational trauma, inherited neuroses, impossible expectations, and the many ways love can leave a mark. mothers we love, resent, misunderstand, and spend a lifetime trying to figure out. daughters caught between becoming their mothers, disappointing them, and figuring out who they are without them. // some family issues require a little more than a family group chat.

— suggestions always welcome!
