Recs if you like The Companion...

in progress - taking suggestions

Basically, a huge list of every book I ever heard features sapphic / lesbian 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.

Don't shoot the messenger.

Reading suggestions for the Trans Rights Readathon! (Any year of course). Books with trans characters of any label (or any non-cis gender identity) by trans/non-cis authors. I have not read all the books in this list. Feel free to name your fave books by trans authors in the comments!

I tried to include most books I know or that have been recommended that either have transfem, transmasc or nonbinary main characters. I only add first in series!

queer historical fiction! comment recs or books that should be added<3

Stories featuring queer, polyam main characters! Mostly adult books, but contains some YA as well. Although the book doesn't have to have a heavy romantic focus, the polyam rep must be in the MCs, not in side characters. 🫶 (Note: some books in this list are series starters that don't contain polyamory until after the first book!)

Stories with t4t (trans4trans) dynamics across genders, genres, and age groups, mostly indie. Includes graphic novels and all kinds of trans and non-binary identities. Includes erotica 🔞

Recommendations welcome!

Please let me know if there are any I should add.

Stories featuring transfem characters (trans women & non-binary characters) as main characters or love interests. Not exclusively, but largely indie. Stretches genres and age groups, including graphic novels & short stories (but not including non-fiction) 🔞

Recommendations welcome!

adult genre romance stories where at least one main character is trans and/or non-binary! i haven’t necessarily read or recommend all the books included here; please lmk if anything is incorrect. Also this list is white and transmasc leaning so def please leave any recs in the comments! i’ve mainly excluded erotica, as my goal for this list is genre romance, but most books listed do contain sexual scenes (varying levels of explicitness)

Erotic encounters featuring transmasc characters (trans men & non-binary characters), mostly by indie authors. Includes both books that are primarily erotica and stories from other primary genres that feature erotic encounters. 🔞🔞🔞

Recommendations welcome!

🏳️‍🌈 bisexual books for bi babes - ain't no lie, baby, bi bi bi

who doesn’t love a throuple romance? so long as there’s three people, no matter the configuration, and it’s at least a little gay, i’m putting it on this list. if you have any suggestions, please let me know!

queer books under 200 pages because sometimes you just want to read something short (and queer)

Queer genre fiction set in a world different from our reality, whether set in a different time, a different world, or in a version of our world but with different rules. Perfect for the reader looking for a little escapism in their next queer read 📚✨

queer historical romance with a heavy helping of regency romance especially since it seems to be the most populated 🫖👑🏳️‍🌈

Because we’re queer and we’ve always been here 🥹

Hello! I love my non-fiction polyamory books but I want to read more fiction books with polyamory rep in it. I've tried to include a variety of genres although it is leaning towards scifi quite heavily.

I haven't read all the books here and am open to books being suggested or removed.

I've tried to keep it to positive rep. I've edited the list to focus on main characters engaging in polyamorous relationships.

Novellas & novelettes (roughly 10-40k words or 40-200 pages) across genres by indie/self-pub authors featuring queer characters Many stories lean horror and/or erotic 🔞

Recommendations welcome!
