Recs if you like Tripping Arcadia...

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 - 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.

We all love gothic classics, but what is new when it comes to the gothic genre (from the last 20 years or so)?! For fans of Dracula, Jane Eyre, Frankenstein, We Have Always Lived in the Castle, etc. Please comment with suggestions to add!

The Great Gatsby and works inspired by it ✦ retellings that I (a Gatsby fanatic) have read or am interested to check out ✦

I love Botanical Horror, but I also love Queer Stories. Surprisingly, there is a big overlap and if anyone else seeks to find books that fit both Sub-Genres, here is a (starter) list recommendations very welcome

that specific kind of book with all the pretty but unsettling florals

A collection of one of my favorite themes for a book cover: botanical horror!

Look, I can't explain what ties all these books together because it's about vibes, but I'll try. Men/masculine leaning people that are either queer or are toeing the line, dangerous situations, ghostly encounters (whether literal or figurative), maybe a little pretentious, maybe a little sexy. If you know any other books you think match these ones (not necessarily individually but as a collective), hit me up, because I'm always looking for them.
