Recs if you like Almost Life...

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!

litfic and historical fiction with the sapphic yearning turned allll the way up!

suggestions welcome 🫡

We should all be reading queer, all year, but this list is full of upcoming queer books of all makes and models coming out in 2026. If you have a rec to add, just please keep in mind we’re looking for 2026 releases!

collecting all 2026 releases featuring sapphic romance!!

my personal wlw library so… a lot of classic lesbian lit, basically

books that feel:

claustrophobic like the summer heat like stifling longing flushed cheeks like unbidden realisations melancholically sweet like painful emptiness existential like utter confusion

I haven’t read all book on this list (yet). Feedback regarding books/authors is welcome🫶🏻 PLS CHECK TW

musical inspiration: fourth of july - Sufjan Stevens Habibi - Tamino implosion - Labrinth now, run - Hania Rani ozean - AnnenMayKantereit

pink, sophisticated & sometimes fatale <3 curating the personality of my aspirations (added some essential nonfic & poetry!)

Here's every book so far from BOTM's monthly shortlist since February 2015 for anyone who wants to read them all like I do!

Stories that tell the tale of sapphic life and love throughout time

the coquette femme aesthetic is of the utmost importance

Literary fiction where one or both of the sapphic characters are pining or obsessing to great extremes

I need suggestions pls, trying to stick to literary fiction rather than romance!
