Recs if you like The Lone Wolf Café (Mainely Magic, #1)...

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.

fantasy books where cooking and baking or some other form of culinary art are the main focus, a large part of the plot, or part of the magic system!

A collection of sapphic fantasy books that I have seen recommended across tiktok

This list is a comfort-reads pantry of low-stakes fantasy where food and drink are the magic. Every pick centers a kitchen, café, tea room, coffee bar, bakery, cocktail or anything food as the heart of the story, with conflicts that stay gentle, community-minded plots, and endings that leave you soothed rather than stressed. Cozy, sensory escapes and character growth over battles!

queer werewolf (or otherwise wolf-themed) books. please make recommendations!! Originally began as a comps list for my upcoming novella but I'm pretty sure it's a standalone special interest now

can I get some hands? yes, please, chef 😈

do you have a crush on Alton Brown on Cutthroat Kitchen or Ayo Edebri on The Bear? maybe you just really love making food or eating a really good meal? do you make sure to lick your plate clean and finish your meal? then this is the list for you!

hopefully the chefs in these books make your mouth water 🤤

to quote Hudson Williams: munch munch munch yum yum yum

Want to start a life in the cottage, escape from the horror of life and tuck into your corner in the world? Just remember, this could be a cozy corner OR it could be just the opposite of that...

Ready to give up the ways of our city life, join a coven, pick up your speciality magic and make it far? This is the cozy edition of it and it includes fantasy, romance & PNR for the main part. (Please always check whether it's cozy for you as its subjective)

what do you mean you're the tuna melt ilya made shane in heated rivalry 😭

The only criteria for this list is that it has a queer character and takes place near or on Halloween. Most books are horror, romance (both mild and spicy), mystery, or thriller. I haven't read most of these so I welcome suggestions. Happy gay Halloween!

Books with sapphic relationships where they both live, and/or have a happy ending. This collection of books has been recommended to me based off of a post I made in the sapphic across genres forum. This is made in order to try combat the media's tendencies of killing off the sapphics (when they actually do decide to give us representation). please be aware that I haven't read most of these, so they may not be entirely accurate to the list title. I am open to any suggestions as well!

Cozy and heartwarming reads - literary hug on a chilly day <3

You howl, I howl, we all howl for werewolves!

Get you some slice of life, found family adventures, rambling romps, or sweet & steamy romance, there's plenty of Cozy for everyone!

How many cafés are too many cafés? This list is still counting.

Exciting books releasing in September of 2025!
