in progress - taking suggestions

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.

Don't shoot the messenger.

A list with (your!) recs ✍🏻📚, because i am tired of searching on social media and finding nothing. We have to solve that.

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.

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?

These sapphic books come from all different genres, each one filling a past Sapphic September prompt plus several bonuses!! How many have you read?

"i do it for the girls and the gays, that's it"

All of these are from the list that Texas lawmaker Matt Krause in October of 2021 tried and in many cases succeeded to get banned from classrooms and school libraries. There are quite a few interesting and odd choices in there which is part of why I wanted to share this list on here. Not necessarily recommendations but there are some pretty good books on here. As well as a lot of textbooks

In October 2021, Texas State Representative Matt Krause initiated an inquiry targeting a list of approximately 850 books in Texas public schools, alleging they could cause "discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress" regarding race or sex. The list disproportionately targeted LGBTQ+ topics, race/racism, and sex education.

This is my project to read through this list for myself - utilizing my local library system for access to these titles. Follow the journey or join along!

Literally just a list of severly underrated books of all kinds! Books that have little or no posts in their forums or ones I have never seen reccomended or discussed! Let's get rid of these New Releases only feeds and discover some older gems🖤 Please comment your recs!

That's it. That's the list. It was 17 years before I ever read about a single Sapphic character in a book. Making up for it now by compiling every great Lesbian book, no matter the genre, that I've read or want to read for all to see. Please comment the best or first Sapphic book you ever read!

books i think kamala khan // aka ms marvel from marvel comics // would hug tight after finishing and post about on tumblr.
