Recs if you like Afterlove...

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!

books in which Death, or a god of Death, or the Grim Reaper (or a Grim Reaper), is personified. This list will NOT include the works of Neil Gaiman (ew)

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.

All the lesbians books I can find. If you have any book you want me to add please comment ❤️

All the YA Sapphic books that have been published (or at least most of them). The books in this list have at least one main character who is either a lesbian, bisexual or pansexual. I only put the first books in series.

For those looking for a light read <3

sapphics? gays? trans rep? poly relationships? yes

queer contemporary books that I loved

Mostly sapphic and/or trans books that might make you cry while reading them. I will admit that it's not hard to make me cry, but these books all definitely succeeded.

Sad queer books. Beware of tears. Inspired by the Tragic Love: Queer Edition Quest. Middle grade, teen, and adult books

I’m gonna list some of my favorite sapphic reads here for others to explore! ( with different kind of genres!! )

A lot of lesbian longing; think portrait of a lady on fire but set in contemporary London; how the ways we experience the world can be so vastly different, and how kind and curious that can make us if we let it; how where we come from helps us find our home, whether that be in a place or in people; pls comment recommendations if you know any more books or films that explore these themes!

queer books across all genres because you can read queer all year
