Recs if you like A Whisper of Bells and Prayers: A Sapphic Hunchback of Notre Dame Retelling...

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!

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.

collecting all 2026 releases featuring sapphic romance!!

Retellings of all types from fairy tales to classics to myths and legends

Recommendations and suggestions welcome

We all know what kind of freakishness those too-tight collars are really holding in, the depths of depravity lurking underneath those flowing robes. These books prove our theories, with enough extra creativity to make us blush and sweat.

Clergy capers, nun naughtiness, pegged priests, creative uses of crucifixes, sanctimonious smut.

Not limited to Catholic blasphemy.

Exactly what it says on the tin, books that feature queer nuns (some Christian, some of a more fantastical variety)

Legends, ballets, poems, plays, classics, and everything else that does not fit with fairytales, folklore or mythology.

I have other lists for sapphic fairytale, folklore and mythology retellings!

Retellings of classics, fairy tales and myths with a queer twist

this list features upcoming books that feature sapphic MCs or romance and are releasing in 2026!

Do you love fairytales, folklore, mythology, and classics but wished they were sapphic? Then this list is for you!

I haven't read all of them, so if you believe one of these does not contain a sapphic romance (subplot), pls tell me in the comments! Recommendations are welcome!
