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.

Intersectionality, baby! Disability includes many conditions, including - but not limited to - physical disabilities, chronic illnesses, psychiatric disabilities, sensory disabilities, and neurodivergence.

in honor of disability pride month, here is a series on the colours of the flag! the fourth colour on the flag is yellow/gold, which represents the disabilities on the neurodivergent spectrum, cognitive and intellectual disabilities. examples of these are ADHD, autism, tourettes, dyspraxia, dyslexia, OCD, down syndrome, epilepsy and way more. books within this list will be fiction and non-fiction. as always, feel free to recommend books which you feel should be added to this list.

why shouldn’t we be able to imagine disabled people in space, in love, solving mysteries, or on the lam?

genre fiction (SFF, romance, mystery, thriller, etc.) with disabled characters or themes, written by disabled authors.

Recommendations welcome! Also, I have not read all so if some are misplaced, let me know!

Romance books with neurodivergent characters. This primarily includes ADHD and autism but I also included some with dyslexia and sensory processing disorder representation as well.

Lots of women, sapphic romance, and cozy reads - but not all!
