Books by Palestinian authors or that highlight Gaza.

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.

All credit for this list goes to ysaleftyouonread on instagram! This is her list of female authors she spotlighted for Women’s History Month, that are “not the same five white ladies” we always hear about! My personal goal is to read one book from each of these 31 women this year; I have been loving this journey and wanted to share with you all!

(Check out Ysa’s reels, she does a great job of describing the vibes without giving away the story!)

reading diversely is not a trend. it’s the bare minimum. and if your shelves don’t reflect that, you’re missing out.

A reading list celebrating books by Arab American authors and the many stories, histories, cultures, and imagined worlds they bring to the page. This list was created as a way to expand my own reading beyond the perspectives and experiences most familiar to me.

I am not Arab American, and I do not intend this list to speak for the Arab American community or define the full range of Arab American literature. I welcome recommendations, corrections, and notes from Arab American readers and authors, especially if there are books that should be added or removed.
