an ongoing lesbian / sapphic masterlist (2300+)
Basically, a huge list of books from all genres featuring sapphic characters, whether bisexual, lesbian, butch, femme, or anything in between.
Includes fiction and nonfiction. Books with spice, and books with very little romance alike. You may find epic lady knights, pirates, ancient vampires or just weird girl adventures, heartbreaking stories or cozy books of found family and queer joy. Memoirs, historical fiction, instruction manuals, maybe even a poem or two.
Welcoming suggestions<3






🏳️🌈Queer Graphic Novels+🏳️⚧️
LGBT*+ graphic novels / comics / manga +
Fluff to smut, including 18+ etc aka not exclusive to anything specific other than being queer content (queer & queer-rep inclusive stories). I have read a good handful of the ones now at the bottom of the list. Includes intended middle-grade-ish-level youth content to adult audience content.
In progress / updated over time. Mostly serving as an all-in-one-spot list until Pagebound figures something out that works well for multi-genre/format exploration. :)
(recs highly welcome) Attempting a highly exhaustive list.






Illustrated Nightmares: Horror Graphic Novels
Sometimes we need a little bit more out of horror books. What’s better than adding creepy art?! From ghosts and monsters to serial killers and slow descents into madness, this is a list of graphic novels that delve into the dark. Some are stand-alones and some are part of a series, I’ve only included the first of these to save my sanity (and space). Recommendations encouraged Please no Marvel or DC






I hate gay halloween
what do you mean you're the tuna melt ilya made shane in heated rivalry 😭
The only criteria for this list is that it has a queer character and takes place near or on Halloween. Most books are horror, romance (both mild and spicy), mystery, or thriller. I haven't read most of these so I welcome suggestions. Happy gay Halloween!

Sapphic in graphic (novels)
Graphic novels with Sapphic representation, not necessarily romance.






why do you read like you’re running out of time
because we gotta hit our reading goal 🫡 short books (around or under 200 pages) for when you need something in between longer reads or want to up your reading count 🥰 includes almost all genres and different age groups! and will definitely have some graphic novels because that’s my favourite way to speed through books hehe
