Recs if you like Land of Milk and Honey...
a (ongoing) sapphic masterlist! (600+ books!)
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!
books your pretentious friend has heard of
assigned by frankie
almost every single book mentioned* on ๐ Frankie's Shelf youtube channel because their taste is wild and i love it.
updated as frankie posts. *mentioned as in the book is the focus of the video, listened in the description, or offhandedly said.

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)

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

Literary Climate Axiety

on the menu
books where chefs, caterers, restauranteurs, critics, and connoisseurs do cannibalism, or where a prominent theme of the book is food/cooking
Odd Jobs
Books about people (particularly women) with a unique job situation. The definition of "unique job situation" is basically vibes. It could be fantastical or surreal, or just a normal job in an unusual situation. Or maybe a job so mundane and specific that the focus on it feels weird. Also books about real people with unique and interesting jobs. (Also I have not read all of these so I'm just going off descriptions for some of them.)
