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!

Basically, a huge list of books from all genres featuring sapphic characters, whether bisexual, lesbian, butch, femme, or anything in between.

Includes fiction and nonfiction. Books with spice, and books with very little romance alike. You may find epic lady knights, pirates, ancient vampires or just weird girl adventures, heartbreaking stories or cozy books of found family and queer joy. Memoirs, historical fiction, instruction manuals, maybe even a poem or two.

Welcoming suggestions<3

Shorter books (under 200 pages) that are part of at least one quest. Many are also in the public domain, making them easily accessible when you want to grind for that next badge.

Speculative (sci-fi, fantasy, horror etc.) novellas less than 200 pages long that are either standalone or read like a standalone story

sci-fi visions of BIPOC cultures on other planets or in space. recommendations always welcome!

as we approach the end of the year, i thought of compiling a collection of short audiobooks for anyone trying to sneak more books onto their read list or for those trying to complete reading challenges! best of luck! 🌟

One sitting. Thirty strange stories. Zero wasted pages.

when you want to imagine this might all work out okay in the end after all; books set in utopian or at least semi-functional futures. suggestions always welcome!

Queer sci-fi 💫 (Not always in space, I think I've covered most sci-fi subgenres)

Novellas (less than 200 pages) featuring sapphic characters and/or romances!

Collected lists of Fantasy themed WLW, both suggested by other Pagebound readers and myself! ☺️

Somebody asked for a list based on the recs folks gave on my pagebound club post, so this is that! (Plus i dumped a bunch of my faves & tbr in)

A list of (mostly) mystery books with sapphic main characters.

I included some books of other genres that have a strong mystery element.

Books I saved from my TikTok feed that were labelled as Science Fiction!

Sci-fi books that I feel are hopeful and have a cozy, often slice-of-life vibe. Some of these could also fall under the solar punk category.

Note: I have not read all of these (and some I’ve dnfed/disliked) but I wanted to include all the cozy sci fi that I know of.

A collection of well-written sapphic genre books where the "sapphicness" is more than just having a woman with a male love interest who happens to be bisexual. None of the books here have an f/m ending (unless there are multiple protagonists and at least one have an f/f relationship)

This will get updated in time since I don't want to recommend books I haven't read but I'll take requests if you want to give me any!

sapphics in outer space science fiction. maybe they’re on a space ship or station, another planet or a moon. perhaps there’s a romantic pairing or maybe there’s just w|w pining. always trans+ inclusive.

I haven’t read all of these, so please drop a comment with a suggested edit or a book rec!

This started out as a list for some of my friends after a discussion whilst watching PHM. All of us had enjoyed the book, but there were some things about the plot that we felt the film did better, mainly the female characters. Since Sci-Fi is my favourite genre, I wanted to share some recs that made me love it as well as books that were on my radar After browsing the other lists and not seeing anything similar, I felt like I wanted to share it here too. Recs are welcome and encouraged!
