Recs if you like Bingo Love...

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.

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.

aka my "i just love pretty and cool art, especially when it's lesbian/sapphic" list

I’m aiming to read 100 queer graphic novels, so here’s my list of the ones I’ve already read and the ones I plan to read. There might not be 100 books on the list yet, as I’m still gathering them all together.

Happy Black History Month! Here's a rec list of our favorite queer books by Black authors. (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators!)

Stories with a sapphic main character of color, across genres and age groups. 🔞

Recommendations welcome!

✦ I have not read all of these books - if you notice anything that seems to be mis-labeled/mis-placed on this list, please let me know! ✦

why shouldn’t we be able to imagine disabled people in space, in love, solving mysteries, or on the lam?

genre fiction (SFF, romance, mystery, thriller, etc.) with disabled characters or themes, written by disabled authors.

This is an attempt to curate a directory of books that center queer, disabled and BIPOC experiences within the text itself by authors sharing the same experiences. It can include both fiction and non-fiction where these identities are meaningfully present and central to the narrative, themes, or subject matter. The goal is to create a space for discovering books that reflect all 3, Queer, Disabled & BIPOC.

(Find also on GR and Storygraph)

A few lovely books written by Black women spanning every genre!

Book with main characters that are disabled. Both physical and mental included. Eg chronic/terminal illness, physical disabilities, mental illness, neurodivergance, addiction, injury and injury recovery, symptoms causing health issues etc. Doesn't have to be a diagnosed condition. Not necessarily by authors with shared experiences. Books any be any genre. Added only 1st book of series unless there are different characters.

Feel free to leave suggestions in the comments! No "magic cure" books.

Celebrating sapphic graphic novels

Today is Senior Citizen's Day! It's stupidly hard to find books with older characters, but we've done our best to put together a list of queer books with older characters (we aimed for 65+ but not all books specify and ymmv on your estimate of the age of some of these folks). Happy reading! (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators! A group of us collaborate to make these recommendations.)

"i do it for the girls and the gays, that's it"

Yes, that has been said to me. 😐 Fiction featuring Black characters that are also queer. :)

A mix of anthologies, standalones, and series. Many are indie!

It's free comic books day, and we love comics and graphic novels every day, so here, have over 150 of our favorite graphic novels starring queer characters. (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators! A group of us collaborate to make these recommendations.)

let the girls kiss as queerly as possible --

not all of these are romance and most are from my tbr so they could not be sapphic and just, queer, but most of them should be

A list of non-erotic graphic novels with queer protagonists or queer relationships that don't hinge on anybody dying or being killed.
