Recs if you like All the Dead Lie Down...

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.

They say spring is the time when nature comes to life. And sometimes that's scary.

Is it bury your gays if they're all queer?

Another collection of sapphic books that are tagged as horror, thriller, or mystery on Goodreads that I hope to one day read a few of.

Sapphic stories that have an unsettling, sinister, and generally off-putting vibe about them.

Books with sapphic characters at their center!

This list includes books where the character's queerness is clear, not merely suggested. The sapphic characters have to be central to the story.

The genres go beyond romance, expanding to historical fiction, fantasy, poetry, graphic novels, horror, non-fiction & more.

The selection is still growing 🌈
