Recs if you like Sunburn...

Romance books featuring love stories between two women that will make you swoon!

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!

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.

litfic and historical fiction with the sapphic yearning turned allll the way up!

suggestions welcome 🫡

All the lesbians books I can find. If you have any book you want me to add please comment ❤️

Book titles that represent reasons you might go to the doctor, what you might say to each other, or what treatments might be offered to cure your ailments. It's up to you to decide what is what😉

(This is not a commentary on these books or authors! The focus of this list is purely on the titles---but if you find a favorite new read here, I'd love to know🤭)

Fiction & nonfiction books that explore the complexities and traumas of mother-child relationships or in which such relationships play a central role. While many books on this list are what I’d classify as including “mommy issues” there are others that are more about the different perspectives and nuances of the mother-child (often specifically mother-daughter) relationship. Some books center the child, some the mother, some both.

Suggestions are welcome.

my personal wlw library so… a lot of classic lesbian lit, basically

books that feel:

claustrophobic like the summer heat like stifling longing flushed cheeks like unbidden realisations melancholically sweet like painful emptiness existential like utter confusion

I haven’t read all book on this list (yet). Feedback regarding books/authors is welcome🫶🏻 PLS CHECK TW

Novels for when you want to explore religious trauma and the impacts of religion through fiction. For nonfic, see my list “From saint to sinner: religious deconstruction”

Suggestions are welcome!

Books in this list are in at least two quests. Thus helping to earn more badges. Books will span different genres. Once I scan through all the quests, I plan to further organize the list. I am thinking of creating a seperate list and moving the books with three or more quests to the new list and keeping the two badge books in this list. Are there other ways you would organize a list this big?

feminine rage, (mostly sapphic) yearning and general vibes that would make hozier, mitski and florence + the machine proud. inspired by the amazing mimi_reads & astraios! suggestions welcome<3

Stories that tell the tale of sapphic life and love throughout time

Because there's no quest to suit this genre and a girls got specific interests

fiction books about ireland, featuring irish characters, written by irish authors.

Literary fiction where one or both of the sapphic characters are pining or obsessing to great extremes

I need suggestions pls, trying to stick to literary fiction rather than romance!

books that feel like the moment at the end of a movie when the protagonist has been through hell and back, gets into a cab, and gazes silently out the window as she goes home. she smiles ever so slowly before the screen fades to black.

Books with sapphic characters at their center!

This list includes books where the character's queerness is clear, not merely suggested. The sapphic characters have to be central to the story.

The genres go beyond romance, expanding to historical fiction, fantasy, poetry, graphic novels, horror, non-fiction & more.

The selection is still growing 🌈

The queer agenda has taken over your English lesson and the compulsory reading list to make you disgustingly educated and gay af 🏳️‍🌈 p.s. fierce allies welcome

Will keep updating the curriculum, CLASS IS IN SESSION 🔊
