an ongoing sapphic and lesbian masterlist (2300+)
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.

βWeird Girlβ Books to Read to Feel Well Adjusted
Itβs always nice to feel like a normal person by reading about those more unhinged than you π These are all women focused books. Some Iβve read and some Iβm going to read. Apologies in advance if it gets long. Recommendations are absolutely welcome!! So please feel free.
I know a couple are written by men which might be taboo for some but Iβve included because I thought they were appropriate or the author has a track record of writing women well.
