Recs if you like Like in Love with You...

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!

We should all be reading queer, all year, but this list is full of upcoming queer books of all makes and models coming out in 2026. If you have a rec to add, just please keep in mind we’re looking for 2026 releases!

Historical fiction books with queer characters

collecting all 2026 releases featuring sapphic romance!!

anyone else waiting for a sapphic bridgerton season? (books with tea parties, big dresses and/or general victorian vibes!) 💗

i'm kicking my feet with anticipation for these books to finally be in my hands (physically or digitally but as always, mostly through my library apps) so it was only right i make a list to share with the class! happy lezzing out in 2026 💌

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

Amelia’s top OVERALL sapphic romantasy recs, witches, vampires, mages, artists, coziness, darkness, short, long, this list is my mega Sapphic Romantasy rec list

this is an ongoing list of lgbtqiap+ books (across all genres, and age groups) that are planned to be released in 2026. if you’re an arc reader, you can also check whether any of them are available as arcs!! feel free to suggest books to add, since I’ll work on this list over time as well 🥰

last books added in: january!

books that surround a character that is lesbian, bisexual, or wlw !! this is NOT at all a recommendation list this is just a collection of sapphic books !! if you have any suggestions please put it in the comments ! will be updated regularly

Every year we get more and more queer books in more and more diverse genres and I for one would like to roll around in all of them from sheer joy 🙂‍↕️ since I can’t do that here is a list to metaphorically roll around in instead.

Disclaimer: all books had 2026 releases at the time of adding. The publishing industry does change things around though.

fun/casual lgbt books. predominantly contemporary romance, trying to avoid lit fic. more for when i am looking for a palette cleanse.

books that as far as I know are sapphic in some way, that have come out either last year, this year, or next year

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 🥹

Books to binge while we desperately wait for the next season of Bridgerton. You're welcome to comment recs for me to add, but they must have Bridgerton vibes. Priority given to queer and BIPOC books!

Queer stories set in the past
