Representations of the Black experience through fantasy, science fiction, and speculative fiction. Recommendations welcome!

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 that are part of 3 or more quests ✨for easier planning! Initially thought of making this on my shelf, hope the members of pb find this helpful!! (The list is incomplete, I'm working on checking & adding new quest books🙌🏻 thanks for the love ❤️🥹)

in progress - taking suggestions

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.

Don't shoot the messenger.

I'm sure some of these are already on your TBR, so might as well add some more! Let me know if I am missing any of your favorites!

Queer knights, paladins, and slayers with a penchant for kneeling pathetically at the altar of their love. Oaths and yearning aplenty.

Intersectionality, baby! Disability includes many conditions, including - but not limited to - physical disabilities, chronic illnesses, psychiatric disabilities, sensory disabilities, and neurodivergence.

Fantasy books with queer rep

All the lesbians books I can find. If you have any book you want me to add please comment ❤️

Works in the speculative, fantasy, science fiction, and horror genres by authors who are not cisgender! Two spirit, nonbinary, trans, genderfluid, and other gender diverse authors count!

Another resource for those looking for butches in books.

Disclaimer: I do not necessarily recommend all of these books. Please check out my page for reviews of the ones I’ve read!

butch4butch representation is difficult to find, and i’m constantly on the lookout for more, so i’m compiling the list—as slow growing as it may be. the goal in making this list is to highlight books where the main characters are confident in their masculinity and the main romance is butch4butch/masc4masc.

(i am aware this list is lacking in bipoc books as of now, and i am hoping to find many more. if you have any recs, i am gladly welcoming them.)

i love women and nonbinary people and i think if they tore oppressive systems down things would be better for everyone :D (p.s. i would loveee reccs for this list!!! im always looking for more books like these!!!)

Disabled People don’t exist to Inspire Others.

If you want some book recommendations with disabled folks that just exist (without that inspirational suffering or being portrayed as a hero) - this is your list 🤭💗

in honor of disability pride month, here is a series on the colours of the flag! our fifth colour on this flag is red, which represents any and all physical disabilities. examples of physical disabilities include cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, celiac disease, dwarfism, diabetes, wheelchair users, polio, asthma, muscular dystrophy, cancer, scoliosis, ALS, arthritis and many more. books within this list will be both fiction and non-fiction. as always, feel free to comment any you recommend!

Is it healthy? Absolutely not. Am I going to look inward and unpack why I love it? Also no. Is it Gay? Definitely. Am I going to read books filled with obsession, rivalry, manipulation, betrayal, codependency, and dangerous sapphic longing? Obviously.

Here are some fantasy novels with black FMCs!

A collection of sapphic fantasy books that I have seen recommended across tiktok
