Recs if you like Fate's Bane...

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!

Basically, a huge list of books from all genres featuring sapphic characters, whether bisexual, lesbian, butch, femme, or anything in between.

Includes fiction and nonfiction. Books with spice, and books with very little romance alike. You may find epic lady knights, pirates, ancient vampires or just weird girl adventures, heartbreaking stories or cozy books of found family and queer joy. Memoirs, historical fiction, instruction manuals, maybe even a poem or two.

Welcoming suggestions<3

Fantasy books with queer rep

butch4butch representation is difficult to find, and i’m constantly on the lookout for more, so i’m compiling the list—as slow growing as it may be. the goal in making this list is to highlight books where the main characters are confident in their masculinity and the main romance is butch4butch/masc4masc.

(i am aware this list is lacking in bipoc books as of now, and i am hoping to find many more. if you have any recs, i am gladly welcoming them.)

This is a brochure from my library, fully their creation and I wanted to share what they made. Lots of the same books as the medieval quests we have but hopefully something new for you too!

Because hot people summer in the past 💅

Aside from the obvious recommendation of all the books written about the game itself, these are books that gave me similar vibes to when I played the games. Others are here because they reminded me of a romanceable character, or because they had similar character arcs!
