Recs if you like Volatile Memory...

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!

Doing crime when gay should be legal. Also includes be bi do crime, be trans do crime, and everything in-between. Levels of crime and queerness may vary.

(I'll take suggestions!)

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.

Queer sci-fi 💫 (Not always in space, I think I've covered most sci-fi subgenres)

Novellas (less than 200 pages) featuring sapphic characters and/or romances!

Collected lists of Fantasy themed WLW, both suggested by other Pagebound readers and myself! ☺️

A tribute to a type of cover, originally deemed Girls with Fucked Up Faces, that never fails to grab my attention. Not all of these are books I’ve enjoyed or endorse or even read, it’s just all about the covers.

Unhinged and chaotic queer stories that are beyond entertaining (and in some ways, very disturbing as the best are haha!)

this is my favorite niche. all of my favorite books are this. if you like gays and sci fi you might find some new favorites too (constantly updating as I find more btw)

Books I saved from my TikTok feed that were labelled as Science Fiction!

Co-created with @doddyaboutbooks

Science fiction, fantasy, and horror from the land down under. A mix of old faves and fresh blood.

sff books that include sapphic couples

Gimme those space operas, science fiction babes, and interstellar bounty hunters

Books where a woman is has another consciousness inside her head communicating with her. A personal favorite trope of mine. Feel free to comment books to add!

Just books I thought helped show the primal feminine rage we are all experiencing right now in the dumpster fire 🔥 of a planet

Books where 2+ characters share a body through magical or sci-fi means.

A list of Sapphic books released in 2025 that fall somewhere in the SFF genres

Like it says on the tin. Good books with sentient robots/androids/AIs.
