Recs if you like Not Your Sidekick (Sidekick Squad, #1)...
an ongoing sapphic masterlist of books (1600+)
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.
BIPoC Sapphics
Stories with a sapphic main character of color, across genres and age groups. ๐
Recommendations welcome!
โฆ I have not read all of these books - if you notice anything that seems to be mis-labeled/mis-placed on this list, please let me know! โฆ
Q&A: Queer & Asian
Fiction books with at least one main character identifying as Asian and LGBTQ (queer and/or trans) โ continuously updated!
It ain't no lie, baby, bi bi bi
๐ณ๏ธโ๐ bisexual books for bi babes - ain't no lie, baby, bi bi bi
Queer Bipoc SFF
This is a collection of queer books written by bipoc authors that fall into the genre of fantasy and/or sci-fi (supernatural horror is also included)
(If a book is part of a series I only put the first book because otherwise it gets messy very quickly)
Recommendations are always welcome!!!
PDX Queer Book Club
... And They Lived Happily Ever After
Books with sapphic relationships where they both live, and/or have a happy ending. This collection of books has been recommended to me based off of a post I made in the sapphic across genres forum. This is made in order to try combat the media's tendencies of killing off the sapphics (when they actually do decide to give us representation). please be aware that I haven't read most of these, so they may not be entirely accurate to the list title. I am open to any suggestions as well!
for the lesbians, sapphics and nmlnm <3
"i do it for the girls and the gays, that's it"
it's a bird, it's a plane, it's a new book to read!
superhero & supervillain stories!
(trying to highlight those outside of marvel, dc, and the other major franchises)
Books with Queer Female Characters and People
Happy International Women's Day! Have a huge pile of our favorite books starring queer women (fiction and non-fiction!). (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators! A group of us collaborate to make these recommendations.)
Books with Queer Asian American Characters
May is AAPI Month! We've put together a list of our favorite books starring queer Asian American characters; none are Pacific Islands American, but we've got a separate list coming soon of books starring queer Pacific Islanders (who aren't American) so be on the lookout! (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators! A group of us collaborate to make these recommendations.)
With great powerโฆ ๐ฅ
Since comics can be a bit overwhelming to break into, I present a collection of (mostly) graphic novels to satisfy your superhero kick.
Mostly Marvel & DC properties, but open to other superhero (or villains) as well
Audiobook Narrator Spotlight: Emily Woo Zeller
๐inspired by @erintripsey's lists of the same title
Emily Woo Zeller is an American voice actress and audiobook narrator. She has been awarded since 2013 by the Earphone Awards among many other institutions for her audiobook narration. You can find her voice acting roles in multiple Pokemon projects and Cyberpunk 2077.
D20 Misfits & Magic
an alternative for those who want to be whisked away to a magical school, that may or may not be deadly at times, created by lovely humans who aren't terfs! Misfits & Magic is such a fun, campy 2 season long D20 side quest on Dropout with a small cast reclaiming tropes and ideas that shouldn't belong to just one terrible person. I made sure to include queer and trans fantasies with school settings and just general good feeling stories!
Sapphic Books
let the girls kiss as queerly as possible --
not all of these are romance and most are from my tbr so they could not be sapphic and just, queer, but most of them should be
friendly neighborhood superhero book recs
A criminally underrated subgenre (someone assemble the Avengers to right this wrong), these superhero books are as action-packed and engaging as any Marvel or DC movie
Books Starring Queer Superheroes!
Today is Superhero Day, so we made a list of books we love starring queer superheroes (with the understanding that sometimes the line between superhero and supervillain is razor thin...and that magical girls are a flavor of superhero...). (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators! A group of us collaborate to make these recommendations.)
with great power comes awesome abilities
