Recs if you like Exalted...
an ongoing sapphic and lesbian masterlist (2300+)
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.
snake oil
what does it mean to be perfect when perfect cannot exist?
books with commentary about the wellness and beauty industries, social media, and self care.
I love it when women
...are unhinged, lonely, tortured, kooky, crazy, unmoored, yearning, plotting, stalking, monologuing, self-pitying, lost, etc.
light of my life, fire of my loins - obsessions
books featuring obsession, from the light-hearted and quirky to the dark and twisted
Books that smell like Gwyneth's vagina candle...
To be clear, these are books that smell like the candle, not Gwyneth Paltrow's actual vagina. They're books with girl bosses, lip oils or maybe serums.
Often murder. Sometimes kinda culty.
Burn after reading.
Weird and Unhinged Women
All sorts of stories about all sorts of women. Mostly litfic, some horror.

Let It Burn: The Art of Self Sabotage
None of the characters in these books do themselves any favors in being the heroes of their own stories. Some may be more likable than others, but they all are students in the art of self sabotage. Featuring hubris, obsession, greed, apathy, vanity, addiction, power & fame, or just plain old psychopathy. Some are humorous and some are decidedly not and some have a happy endings and some are tragic through and through. Either way, you’re in for a fascinating ride. Recommendations encouraged!
