Recs if you like A Curse Carved in Ink: A Novel...

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.

Fantasy books with queer rep

Books set in an Asian or Asian-inspired setting or incorporates elements of an Asian culture or mythology. Only the first book in a series is listed.

Science fiction and fantasy books by Malaysian authors. N.B. This list is not meant to be exhaustive.

Be the trend setter of your book club or bookish friend group by getting to know the authors of next year’s publication cycle. These books are all by new talent in the publishing world from both the Big 5 and small, traditional publishers.

Be sure to also check out these authors on social media for ARC opportunities, and show these authors some love by requesting a purchase with your local library, or pre-ordering a copy yourself!

I'm getting way too excited about 2027 sapphic releases! Let me know if there are any on your radar 😍 These books all have MAIN sapphic characters. I am also including books with overall queer ensembles that feature sapphic characters or couples.

One of my special interests is my book calendar...and I see no reason everyone else shouldn't benefit from my obsessing over upcoming books! Made up of a combination of books I've read early (and therefore KNOW are excellent) and ones I'm just plain excited for! Skewing diverse and/or less conventional, Adult with very occasional YA. I will update this constantly, but if you want weekly updates on new releases, check my blog (link in profile). Suggestions welcome but may not always be utilised!

updated weekly!
