Recs if you like An Education in Malice...

campuses, the occult, a bacchanalia or two. only true dark academia in this list 🍂🚬☕️

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 / 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.

For all the multitaskers on here (including myself): books featured on 2+ quests! Go get those badges everyone

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!

are all of those historical fiction? probably not. are all of those queer? well of course.

Books with obsessive and/or codependent queer relationships (relationship doesn't have to be canon but the vibes™ should be there)

Historical fiction books with queer characters

dark academia books with queer and trans MCs

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

queer historical fiction! comment recs or books that should be added<3

A list for books based on the works of other writers (or: authors copying each other’s homework 🙂‍↕️). Suggestions welcome!

Novels with throuples, polycules, best found family romance vibes

Historical horror fantasy because I like to be self-indulgent :) Feel free to recommend some!

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.

Creepy books made better because there are queer characters

Dragons, vampires, fae, and the gays.

books that are part of 3 or more quests, for those readers with a completionist streak within and a personal plague of Too Many Books, Too Little Time.
