Recs if you like Dogs of Summer...
an ongoing sapphic masterlist of books (1600+)
in progress
Basically, a huge list of every book I ever heard features sapphic 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.
Open to suggestions for more titles.
Don't shoot the messenger.

It gets so hot
MUNA wrote the song it gets so hot. And these are books that feel like that song. Literally and metaphorically.
The sun or summer or heatwave is a character or an oppressive force. Or the city of LA is a character or an oppressive force or a key setting. Or a combo of both. Or itโs a book MUNA have recommended. Or itโs just a bit steamy ๐ฅต

Read Around The World
Books that aren't set in the US or UK, as those books dominate reading lists. I'm trying to collect as many different countries as possible, but sometimes there will be 2-3 books from one country.
