Recs if you like Frontier...

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.

Welcoming suggestions<3

sometimes they're running to something, sometimes they're running from something, sometimes they're just running.

Queer sci-fi 💫 (Not always in space, I think I've covered most sci-fi subgenres)

Books I saved from my TikTok feed that were labelled as Science Fiction!

gays in space (or I guess sometimes dealing with space shit on earth), with a tending toward optimistic futures. this list will continue to grow and change over time. this list includes trans folks, queercore, and graphic novels.

if a book is part of a series, I'm only listing the first book just so the list doesn't get overrun.

All are very welcome to this list, but I've geared it towards my fellow neurospicy folk with busy Brains who need some high dopamine sparks from their books...and for it to not take forever for us to read a book and we lose our interest/hyperfocus 🤣🥰

I got a request for a list of sapphic fiction/romances with ambiguous covers that wouldn't be flagged by their country's customs and subsequently tossed. Thought I'd post it here, in case it might benefit someone else!

the novels on this list explore the faultlines of the american west, lingering in its borderlands, refusing its colonial myths. some of them reimagine classic wild west fiction tropes, while others refuse the terms of the western altogether. title from lil nas x ofc :)

Mad Max/Borderlands Aesthetic. If you have any other recommendations let me know.

just my sci-fi tbr

All my favorite freaky, weird, horrific, grisly, and otherwise unsettling queer stories!
