Recs if you like Small Angels...

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.

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.

feminine rage, (mostly sapphic) yearning and general vibes that would make hozier, mitski and florence + the machine proud. inspired by the amazing mimi_reads & astraios! suggestions welcome<3

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!

So, you like your fantasy with a historical-ish setting; perhaps even a dash of gothic yearning here and there. I've got you bestie.

The horrors that haunt the woods

Books saved from TikTok feed that were labelled as Horror/Fantasy (although I think some were only given that label bc they have vampires in them). I have not read all of these myself personally, so as like my other lists, if one doesn't belong please comment so!

This is a list of horror books written by women, as recommended by Sadie Hartmann (Mother Horror) in her book Feral and Hysterical. I highly recommend that you pick up a copy of Feral and Hysterical because it is so much more than a list of books. There are more lists of books, but also thoughtful essays by women writers. It's worth spending some time with Feral and Hysterical.

"Women are overqualified to write fictional horror. Period." -- Sadie Hartmann

For the Fae and Flame Society book club, often our seasonal book bingo includes a square for 'a book set in a small town.' Here is a list of books set in small towns across a variety of genres to push us outside of our normal romantasy.
