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!

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.

Fantasy books with queer rep

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 💅

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.)

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

Romantasy and romantic/erotic fantasy reads starring queer characters! (Recs are welcome, but I'd like to encourage uplifting queer authors first and foremost! For series, I'll just put book 1 unless they can be read as standalones!)
