Recs if you like Fortune Favors the Dead...

Basically, a huge list of books from all genres featuring sapphic characters, whether bisexual, lesbian, butch, femme, or anything in between.

Includes fiction and nonfiction. Books with spice, and books with very little romance alike. You may find epic lady knights, pirates, ancient vampires or just weird girl adventures, heartbreaking stories or cozy books of found family and queer joy. Memoirs, historical fiction, instruction manuals, maybe even a poem or two.

🏳️‍🌈 bisexual books for bi babes - ain't no lie, baby, bi bi bi

A list of (mostly) mystery books with sapphic main characters.

I included some books of other genres that have a strong mystery element.

July is Disability Pride Month! Here's a big pile of books with disabled characters. All the books also have at least one queer character, and in most cases, the queer character and the disabled character are one and the same. (There are a few non-fiction titles in the mix as well; representation for queerness may be subtext/interpreted). (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators! A group of us collaborate to make these recommendations.)

Happy International Women's Day! Have a huge pile of our favorite books starring queer women (fiction and non-fiction!). (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators! A group of us collaborate to make these recommendations.)

Today (May 22) is Sherlock Holmes Day! Whether you read queerness into the original Holmes stories or not, no one can disagree that this is a wonderful moment to highlight some mystery books starring queer characters! (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators! A group of us collaborate to make these recommendations.)

more mystery stories with queer detectives/protagonists! cozies, noir, romance, paranormal, and sci-fi/fantasy mashups abound, but no thrillers, to my knowledge. tried not to repeat too many books also in the quest! series represented by #1

Just another list that focuses on books with chronically ill or physically disabled MCs. Mainly fiction books. Here so you guys have more to choose from 🙂‍↕️ Recs are welcome 🤗

This is a list of queer and otherwise diverse Sherlock Holmes adaptations for everyone who wants a new take on the rather basic characters and sometimes problematic lines.

thank the stars for bisexual masculinities. ✨ there’s a lot of great bi+ fem(me)s in lesbian/sapphic/wlw literature, and bi+ masc/butch/stud/gnc/nonbinary rep needs to catch up! soft butches/mascs/studs, stemmes, futches, and tomboys also included here. mostly curated from suggestions, more recs welcomed! note: a small number of these are (significant) side-characters, please check blurb/reviews.

These books feature main characters and authors who struggle with chronic illnesses, disabilities, and medical journeys

Solving murders, committing crimes, seeking adventure? Whatever the task, these duos are in it for the long run.

This list focuses on books with non-romantic pairings but in some cases romance may develop later in a series.

🚧list in construction🚧

Fiction books that outright tackle misogyny, or have feminist undertones. For every reader out there who's tired of being met with toxic/misogynist behaviour in stories that is presented as acceptable, or even romantic, and those who want to learn about the female perspective. (For more horrory books, see my list "Feminist Horror", for YA, see my list "Feminist YA".)
