Recs if you like And Shall Machines Surrender...
an ongoing sapphic masterlist of books (1600+)
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.
Really Short Standalone SFF Reads
Speculative (sci-fi, fantasy, horror etc.) novellas less than 200 pages long that are either standalone or read like a standalone story
Sapphic Science Fiction
Books I saved from my TikTok feed that were labelled as Science Fiction!
SFF books in series that pretend to be standalone
Self-contained SFF books that belong to a series, offering a complete story without a multi-book commitment. A perfect way to sample immersive worlds while limiting potential disappointment – yet still leaving more to explore if you liked it.
Badass Speculative Fiction
Do you want to read some good science-fiction/fantasy? These novels have it (subjective). Here, mostly queer, anti-colonial, dripping with world building and other bodily fluids. Without a reliable narrator in sight! These are written for adults, that does NOT mean they are inherently spicy. Good Luck!~
