a (ongoing) sapphic masterlist! (600+ books!)
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!
ace, ace, baby
Books about asexuality, be they non-fiction or novels. Everyone should read at least one asexual book from time to time.
Rep is usually the main character but sometimes side characters. ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ โ ๏ธ
Yes, demi folks are included on this list!
Love on the Neurodivergent Spectrum
Romance novels and stories with substantial romantic subplots where at least one lead is explicitly neurodivergent. Every title is either own voices, has a character whose neurodivergence is confirmed within the text or by the author. This collection celebrates love across the full spectrum of neurological diversity, including Autism, ADHD, OCD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Tourette's, Hoarding Disorder, PTSD, and more. Recommendations are always welcome!
Queer and Disabled
Intersectionality, baby! Disability includes many conditions, including - but not limited to - physical disabilities, chronic illnesses, psychiatric disabilities, sensory disabilities, and neurodivergence.

sometimes they're running to something, sometimes they're running from something, sometimes they're just running.
Asexual Representation
Fiction and non-fiction in which a main character, prominent supporting character, or narrator is canonically/confirmed to be on the asexual (ace) spectrum.
๐Canon: Confirmed by either the text or original creator. (Subtextual/implied and circumstantial characters can be found on my other ace list)
โDisclaimer: I have not read all these books. Please feel free to correct me in the comments if I have made a mistake in my research. Or if you have any new titles to recommend.
Sapphic Adult Romance

Queerly Beloved: The Joy Of Sensible Love Starter Pack
A list of happy, healthy, queer romances: the people are generally nice and sensible, the occasional PITA are few, definitely not evil, and put in their place sooner rather than later; problems are solved with a calm and clear head, communication gaps are few and short. If you need a balm for your spirit, want to experience the joy of love for a bit, here's your list.

The 'Dirty' Book Club ๐
Tongue in cheek list inspired by the book titled above, here is a list of all the romance books I have read with my IRL book club!

If I Could Make A Quest: Sapphics Across Genres
Note: The Sapphic story in The Revanche Cycle tetralogy (Winter's Reach) continues in the Wisdom's Grave trilogy (Sworn To The Night), which also has the final HEA. However the two series can be read independently of each other.
