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!

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.

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

Bibliophilia at its best - books about books, readers, libraries, bookstores!

Much like my Sapphic Fantasy list, these are all the books that I've saved from TikTok before deleting it in the hopes of reading them one day. Feel free to comment any that you'd like added!

I went through all the books in the romance quest tab and here are all the ones where at least one of leads is in a relationship that is not "man and woman falling in love with each other." F/F, M/M, F/NBi, M/NBi, NBi/NBi, etc. Largely motivated by wanting to figure out which romance book quests I had a chance of getting the badges for. If I missed any, let me know. Quest specific info in the pinned comment.

We need more rival lesbians!!!!!!!! Sapphic recommendations of any genre welcome 🫶🏻

finding love in a big city can be just as fun as finding love in a small town! I love small town romances, but as a girl from a big city, I want to give big city romances their time to shine ✨

here’s a list of books where our main characters live in a big city and fall in love there. cities can be real (London, Paris, New York, LA, Tokyo, etc.) or fictional (Minas Tirith, King’s Landing, Gotham, Bon Temps, etc.)!

as always, taking suggestions!!

If so, check out these books that follow the “fall in love online/anonymously with the same person that you hate but then also learn to love irl” trope, also know as the wrong number trope.
