Recs if you like A Pirate's Life for Tea...

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!

Pirates, sailors, mermaids, sirens, selkies, tentancle monsters - if they live on/in the ocean and are queer, they've earned a spot on this list! Across genres and age groups - includes erotica. 🔞🔞🔞

Recommendations welcome!

✦ I have not read all of these books - if you notice anything that seems to be mis-labeled/mis-placed on this list, please let me know! ✦

A collection of sapphic fantasy books that I have seen recommended across tiktok

Dragons, vampires, fae, and the gays.

Gays on boats. That's it, that's the list. (Open to recs! 🩵)

Some of the series that we love about sapphics.

Recommendations and requests welcome

You want a fantasy book without too much stress and a guaranteed happy ending? Maybe magic and a muffin? Or talking creatures drinking tea? Sentient houseplants who are occasionally bossy? I gotcha. 😉

High Fantasy & Low-stakes fantasy

Just an absolute butt-tonne of dragon books, baby!!

it's a cozy fantasy kind of winter (bonus points if its sapphic)

Fiction books that have a character who knits or crochets ✨ So beware, these people have needles and know how to use them 🧶⚔️ (pls imagine the swords as two crossed knitting needles, and yes we really should have that as an emoji)

At this point I am not sure if yarn really is cheaper than therapy, buuuut it is still fun and great for stress relief, and I love coming across characters who share a hobby with me 😍

fun/casual lgbt books. predominantly contemporary romance, trying to avoid lit fic. more for when i am looking for a palette cleanse.

Cozy and magical, books you can curl up with and read about magical worlds, great storytelling, and otherworldly romance

I recently realised I love all things maritime, especially in fiction. My favourite movies, museums, books, even childhood stories all contain pirates, outlaws and the sea! So I'm making a very loose list of books with this vibe as a guide for my self of past reads and TBRs! Please comment your recs!💕

High seas, hidden treasure, questionable life choices, and a lot of dramatic shouting. Dive in if you’re ready for adventure, danger, and a little bit of glorious chaos.

High Fantasy, Greek Mythology, Low Stakes and Spice

the queer romance and fantasy books that are on my tbr (and that i love)

Worlds of epic, soft and cozy, urban, and sci-fi fantasies where LGBTQIA+ representation is the main focus or the normative! 🏳️‍🌈♥️🏳️‍⚧️

Suggestions are always welcome!
