Recs if you like Venus, Vanishing: A Novel...

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.

Lit fic books to read for the aesthetic

Every single Aardvark Book Club book pick since its inception. Updated monthly!

Literary fiction where one or both of the sapphic characters are pining or obsessing to great extremes

I need suggestions pls, trying to stick to literary fiction rather than romance!

All the 2026 Aardvark book club picks

As a sapphic kind-of-Jew, I'm always looking for this specific rep! I'm very open to suggestions to add to this list :)

(no z!onists pls)

Books with main characters who paint or draw. Recommendations are welcome
