Recs if you like Gearbreakers...

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!

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.

Some books I either love or am super excited to read that are queer, BIPOC, and have some kind of speculative element (fantasy, sci fi, paranormal, etc)

Stories with a sapphic main character of color, across genres and age groups. 🔞

Recommendations welcome!

✦ I have not read all of these books - if you notice anything that seems to be mis-labeled/mis-placed on this list, please let me know! ✦

Queer sci-fi 💫 (Not always in space, I think I've covered most sci-fi subgenres)

Queer & trans stories in apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic worlds

First of a series only

Sister list to: Zombies, but make it Queer

As always, suggestions incredibly welcome!

☣

Note: Not specifically a list of good LGBTQ+ representation (though many of them absolutely are, and many are written by queer and/or trans authors!). But I haven't read all of them (yet), so this list doesn't inherently imply my recommendation, as such

♡ ₍^. .^₎⟆

Queer books and books written by queer authors that are featured in the indie game "Tiny Bookshop", a cosy bookstore management life sim by the studio Neoludic

books with bisexual characters (even if they end up with the opposite sex THEY'RE STILL BI)

Fiction books with at least one main character identifying as Asian and LGBTQ (queer and/or trans) — continuously updated!

Collected lists of Fantasy themed WLW, both suggested by other Pagebound readers and myself! ☺️

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.

because it's almost 2026 and we need to move on from techno-orientalist cyberpunk works!!!

We need more rival lesbians!!!!!!!! Sapphic recommendations of any genre welcome 🫶🏻

This is a collection of queer books written by bipoc authors that fall into the genre of fantasy and/or sci-fi (supernatural horror is also included)

(If a book is part of a series I only put the first book because otherwise it gets messy very quickly)

Recommendations are always welcome!!!

Books I saved from my TikTok feed that were labelled as Science Fiction!

Ah yes, this ol' issue that has plagued librarians and bookstore clerks for decades.

And sometimes you find the right book, but... can you even call that shade blue?

Any form of sapphic or w|w romance <3

If you ask someone what apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic fiction they've read, there's a fair chance much of that list will have been written by cis men, because they're the books that get the most promotion in the genre.

My hope is that this list will help someone find a new favourite apocalypse author! ♡

Sister list to: Zombie Apocs - No Cis-Male Authors Allowed

First of a series only

Suggestions so welcome, particularly for trans, enby, & other authors of marginalised genders
