Recs if you like We All Loved Cowboys...

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.

sapphic books that i don't see people talk about that often and that deserve more attention!! most of these books have 1000, oftentimes under 500 ratings

Please leave suggestions if you have them :)

read around the world is a challenge to read from every country in the world. the author could be from that country or the book could be based there (kudos if both!). for me, i try to add in as many translated books and indigenous stories when possible.

note: while horrors such as war and colonization are unavoidbale in many stories due to how people are shaped by them, i try to find stories that do not always reflect suffering.

cool literary books from latin america
