Recs if you like Junior High (Tegan and Sara #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.

LGBT*+ graphic novels / comics / manga +

Fluff to smut, including 18+ etc aka not exclusive to anything specific other than being queer content (queer & queer-rep inclusive stories). I have read a good handful of the ones now at the bottom of the list. Includes intended middle-grade-ish-level youth content to adult audience content.

In progress / updated over time

(recs highly welcome) Attempting a highly exhaustive list.

(Inspired by @erintripsey s lists on audiobook narrators)

Helen Laser was one of the audiobook narrators that truly made me fall in love with audiobooks, her narration of Yellowface was fantastic and honestly one of the first times I got audiobooks

I honestly don‘t know how to describe her voice except that it scratches that itch in my brain

Graphic novels, comics and manga with absolutely stunning art and illustrations 🥰

from fiction to memoirs and everything in between, all of these books were written by (mostly recognizable) musicians!

As always, recommendations for additional titles are super appreciated! 🫶🏻

masterlist of recommendations from booktuber allison paiges, THE cozy booktuber 💐 (list in progress; will be slowly adding as i rewatch their videos)

I love YA. It can suck pretty bad when the books try to copy each other. But when some of those gems pop up...wowza! Who knew you could tell such a hard-hitting story without having to resort to 1,000 pages & sex?
