Recs if you like Tell Me How You Really Feel...

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's Lesbian visibility week! Here are 100+ books starring lesbians! Includes some non-fiction about lesbian women. (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.)

Fiction books with at least one main character identifying as Asian and LGBTQ (queer and/or trans) — continuously updated!

"i do it for the girls and the gays, that's it"

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.)

Happy Ramadan! We've put together a list of our favorite books that include Muslim queerness - some fiction, some non-fiction. (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.)

May is AAPI Month! We've put together a list of our favorite books starring queer Asian American characters; none are Pacific Islands American, but we've got a separate list coming soon of books starring queer Pacific Islanders (who aren't American) so be on the lookout! (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.)

Collecting books that would categorise as romance/romantasy/fantasy with prominent romance subplot that booksandlala has rated 4 stars or higher.

Feel free to suggest more books that would fit into this list, correct wrongly added books or suggest improvements to this list ☺️

I love books with a very cute & cozy atmosphere, so here are some recommendations with diverse queer rep. Btw there are also some german books in here which haven't been translated so far, just so you know 🫶🏻
