Recs if you like The Witch's Heart...

While it is highly celebrated in June, the Queer community exists all year long and this working list is created to support/encourage others to read more literature written by & represented people within said community.

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.

Books with witchy female characters

All sorts of magic including - Wizards, warlocks, druids, alchemists, etc…

I took a very large take, and I hope you’ll enjoy!! 😊

For series, I only put the first book.

Recommendations are very welcome!! 🥰

A list of well-rated sci-fi and fantasy books featuring a woman who's 30 or older as the main character. I'm open to recommendations - I'd love this list to be long

Books with protagonists (or love interests) who are sexually or romantically attracted to people regardless of their sex or gender.

Sometimes the word is used on the page, and someone times it has been inferred. Just trying my best.

Queer genre fiction set in a world different from our reality, whether set in a different time, a different world, or in a version of our world but with different rules. Perfect for the reader looking for a little escapism in their next queer read 📚✨

Fiction with witches — their stories , origins or their general rise to power. I intended the mood to be quite a bit darker when making this list, and will pull from mostly elaborate fantastical worlds — morally obscure, villainous, heroic and everything in between.

Your essential handbooks to witchery and eldritch horrors

Sometimes you're just not ready to commit to a series

Historical, mythological and just general witchy reads. Credit to @tvcr4wler for their list burn the witch! where I got some of these. Suggestions welcome.

Some debts don't clear at death. Some loves don't end with a body. Some enemies are patient enough to wait for your next life. 💀 These books take the premise literally - the soul has a history, and that history is not done with you. Whether you're born again into the same war, haunted by a love you can't name but somehow recognize, or hunted by something ancient that has been counting the lives between then and now, the past in these novels is not past. ‼️

Fiction (and some non-fiction) across genres featuring plagues, poisons, palace physicians, healers, and pre-antibiotic chaos. If it involves herbs, plagues, questionable remedies, court intrigue, or a morally complex healer experimenting in the corner, I want it.

books inspired by a range of mythologies (mostly Greek, Egyptian, & Hindu)

A list of 50+ various witchy books of varying degrees of reading level, for all things witchy and magic. The list ranges from YA to adult.

aka the Wise Women Web Recommendations are welcome!

books inspired by folklore and mythology

Norse mythology and the books that were inspired by it.

Greek, Roman, Arthurian, Norse, Celtic, Hindu, Japanese, and more!

Fiction that is set in medieval or medieval-esque settings, crossing genre boundaries.
