Recs if you like Season of Love...

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.

Another resource for those looking for butches in books.

Disclaimer: I do not necessarily recommend all of these books. Please check out my page for reviews of the ones I’ve read!

Holiday romances for every taste: witches, cowboys, vampires, stalkers, ghosts, royals, foodies, curvy/plus-size, neurodivergent, sapphic, mlm, queer, trans, bipoc, poly, YA, cozy, twisted, dark fantasy, bdsm, with and without magic, on trains and planes, in bakeries and bookshops, small towns and cities, on a ranch, from Cape Town to Juneau, some soon to be published, some with the same title, not all contain smut (YA), all contemporary. ❤️‍🔥

There’s a crackling fire in the living room, a huge Christmas tree hung with lights and ornaments that shine with the reflection of the flames, and stockings hung from the mantle piece.

On the side table is a pile of books that tilts and turns, with many a punny title, and sweet queer cover.

Which one will you pick?🤶🎄🎅🎄🧑‍🎄🎄

There is an epidemic of authors marketing their books as having lesbian characters but never actually using the word “lesbian” in text— or only doing so in a negative context. The following list is books that use the word in a neutral or positive context. I love being a lesbian and I love calling myself a lesbian!! Let’s celebrate this word as much as possible!! 🧡🩷🧡🩷🧡🩷🧡🩷

All additions will be read and vetted by me first but recommendations are welcome in the comments!!

I’ve read dozens of stories with butch characters and yet it still feels like such an unexpected delight each time I see the word “butch” in a book. The more that younger lesbians and sapphics reject the word, the more I find myself fiercely clinging to it. I love being a butch lesbian. Butchness feels like home. Using the word honors the history and memory of the butch dykes who boldly walked this path before us.

Please drop recs in the comments 🧡

From mistletoe moments to midnight kisses, these romances capture the magic of the season across all kinds of celebrations. Curl up with a cozy drink and fall in love with the holidays.

We need more rival lesbians!!!!!!!! Sapphic recommendations of any genre welcome 🫶🏻

Hallmark, but make it gay!

Cozy Queer and winter vibes, and holidays! (feel free to recommend more!)

curated with love by a real life butch 🫡

will update continuously

Not all of these characters use the terms “butch” and “femme” for themselves but I’ve included them based on my personal reading of their characters (aka butch intuition). Check out my other lists for works with canonical butches and femmes.

This week is Jewish Book Week! To celebrate, we compiled a list of our favorite books with queer Jewish characters. Also includes queer books by Jewish authors that don't necessarily include obvious Jewish representation. (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators! A group of us collaborate to make these recommendations.)

This is for @anoncie specifically, but everyone else is welcome to use this ofc (and give me recs please!)
