Recs if you like Transcendent Kingdom...

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.

this is your reminder to read books by Black authors all month, all year, every year— not just during Black History Month. it’s crucially important to be able to diversify your reading and your bookshelves. expand your mind, your perspectives, your knowledge, and your taste. if you don’t know where to start, here are some recommendations!

Here's every book so far from BOTM's monthly shortlist since February 2015 for anyone who wants to read them all like I do!

All credit for this list goes to ysaleftyouonread on instagram! This is her list of female authors she spotlighted for Women’s History Month, that are “not the same five white ladies” we always hear about! My personal goal is to read one book from each of these 31 women this year; I have been loving this journey and wanted to share with you all!

(Check out Ysa’s reels, she does a great job of describing the vibes without giving away the story!)
