Recs if you like Wife Shaped Bodies...

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!

SFF with worldbuilding that informs the plot, prose, characters, and underlying narrative in deeply meaningful, intentional, and complex ways, so much so that changing the world means changing the shape of the story itself. Or: worldbuilding that goes beyond simple set dressing and becomes a vehicle for the story and narrative. Always open to recs and suggestions! ❤️

in progress - taking suggestions

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.

Don't shoot the messenger.

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!

Cottagecore, but make it disgusting & horrifying. I feel like CG Drews would like this list

queer horror books releasing in 2026 and beyond! my aim is to keep this list updated as new releases come out, so you can always check back here to see what’s queer and scary and coming soon!

recommendations welcome, but i’m only including titles when and if they are confirmed to have queer representation.

collecting all 2026 releases featuring sapphic romance!!

A genre-inclusive and diverse list of horror releases coming in 2026. If I missed any or you have suggestions, please let me know. I will update periodically as new books are announced and release dates are solidified.

Source for a lot of the data for this list came from readjumpscares.com, which is a website you should absolutely check out. I’m sure data will come from other places along the way, as well.

was curious, so did some research and found loads and loads!!! happy reading, folks!

This is a list of Mushroomcore related books! We have everything from horror, to cozy and fantasy/sci-fi. This is the era of Spontasy (Fantasy), Spomance (Romance) and other genres too. Essentially it's time for the mushroom goblins to take over the world

the title pretty much says it all, fic + nonfic featuring mushrooms and fungus!

Horror books to read just for the aesthetic

Weird, mostly girlys going through different unique life adventures. Supporting girlies (the girls, theys and thems) rights and wrongs.  Regina George screaming down her hallway into her room hunting down the Burn Book

Beautiful books for when your monthly reading roundup needs a little facelift 😉

A list of horror books with stunning cover art because sometimes we do judge a book by its cover. Obviously this list is subjective but it’s diverse and inclusive.

Ongoing list so please feel free to suggest!

all things fungal horror ❤︎⁠ there are a few mushroom and cottagegore lists around, but i wanted to make a comprehensive guide to the genre! suggestions welcome :)

fiction books that feature fungus, mushrooms, or bacteria in sort sort of way! mainly horror leaning, because who isn’t scared of sentient mold?

They say spring is the time when nature comes to life. And sometimes that's scary.

Yes, we’re judging (and celebrating!) the most creative and interesting book covers released this year. Mostly featuring cool typography, stunning illustrations, and exciting colour palettes. Not limited by genre but sticking with young adult and adult books. (This is an anti AI cover list)
