Recs if you like Bloodmarked...

JK Rowling is a bigot who uses her platform to hurt transfolks and other marginalized groups (plus she literally just quoted Mein Kampf on the bird site). If you're still supporting her in 2025, don't bother talking to me.

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.

this is for aesthetics only

Books where a woman is has another consciousness inside her head communicating with her. A personal favorite trope of mine. Feel free to comment books to add!

Books that remind me of Florence and the Machines song King. Featuring strong female leads. "I need my golden crown of sorrow . My bloody sword to swing. My empty halls echo with grand self mythology." 🎶🎵

A mix of different books that all centre around the “dark academia” genre ✨

Books that include whimscal magic that include queer characters.

For those who are interested in fantasy books that’s written by Black authors and the main characters are Black.

For those of you who subscribe to newlynova on either YouTube or TikTok, I have compiled a list of books that she has mentioned in her videos

Books about/inspired by Arthurian Legends

Feel free to add any others in the comments

I have been a long-time fan of Arthurian lit, to the point that I actually took two separate classes in University that covered themes of Arthurian tales, which also increased my library. These are books I actively own, and most of which I have read or at least used in my writing on the Arthurian Age. I do wish I could make comments on the books themselves, as several of these require a little explanation, but if you have any questions, feel free to leave questions or other book suggestions.

Own any translation dictionaries? No? Well, you might want to now.

These books will make you want to keep one by your side, be it for the various Chinese dialects, Latin, Old Welsh, Arabic, and so on that appear as quotes, vocab, or key references ~

Books that are paced relatively well and are action packed!! Page turners!

I don't read certain problematic authors. So this list will not contain those people. These are books with good prose, writing, plots, characters, and some have impact (One of K. Le Guin's books is a Ghibli movie, and it reads like one). This list will be updated more and more as I continue to read peak.
