Recs if you like Nightshade and Oak...

in progress - taking suggestions

Basically, a huge list of every book I ever heard features sapphic / lesbian 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!

Fantasy books with queer rep

collecting all 2026 releases featuring sapphic romance!!

standalone fantasy under 400 pages

Not a comprehensive list, definitely open to suggestions. I'll try to update this fairly often! This list features a wide variety of genres and representations!

High Fantasy & Low-stakes fantasy

original fantasies INSPIRED by mythology and folklore (Greek, Arthurian, Norse, Buddhist, Slavic, Jewish, Irish, and more!)

Or maybe rather romanticizing Celtic Mythology creatures? 👀🤭 Puca rips off people's heads to use them as balls, or kidnaps children and eats them would be a gentle lover and a perfect father of your children 😍 Dullahan the messenger of death would love you fiercely, even with his grumpy demeanor 🥰 (Getting blinded on one eye after looking at him? Never heard of that..)

this list features upcoming books that feature sapphic MCs or romance and are releasing in 2026!

Books where a huge chunk of the action is just the characters walking from Point A to Point B. With maybe some kissing or a sword fight along the way.

my new mythology hyperfixation!!

Literally. A personification of death. A god or godess of death. A grim reaper who knows who is meant to die and does that job.

The simple title format that has stood the test of time.
