Recs if you like Fair Play...
an ongoing sapphic masterlist of books (1600+)
in progress
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.
Open to suggestions for more titles.
Don't shoot the messenger.

women living their lives without children
kids are great. however as a person who doesn’t want kids, I have fatigue around how many novels position motherhood as the epicenter of women’s lives. i’m gathering books here about women in their late twenties and older that don’t focus on motherhood or children. I haven’t read all these fyi!! plz share recs; i’m mostly looking for lit fic.

Research for sapphic aliens film booklist
A lot of lesbian longing; think portrait of a lady on fire but set in contemporary London; how the ways we experience the world can be so vastly different, and how kind and curious that can make us if we let it; how where we come from helps us find our home, whether that be in a place or in people; pls comment recommendations if you know any more books or films that explore these themes!
