Recs if you like Still Life...

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.

audiobooks where the narrator is the author! any book goes, no matter the genre. there may be multiple versions of the audiobook, but at least one version has the author as narrator. please suggest more in the comments!

the texture of sun-warm sheets, time alone with a book, the lattice of light through the trees in the early evening, the comfort of an ordinary routine, a fleeting exchange, an everyday kindness.

these works of fiction observe, preserve and venerate the beautiful mundane, the small things of life.

recs very much welcome :)

I recently started to work at the American Red Cross collecting blood donations from those generous enough to donate their time to saving lives with their blood. We are currently in a national blood crisis and are very short ln blood! 62% of people can medically give blood, but only about 3% of people do! So in honor of those people who are donating to help others I have been asking everyone who comes in with a book what their favorite book is! Ill keep adding to the list as I get more fav books

Books that contain some sort of grief story line. Someone has died, someone is grieving, someone is trying to move forward or find closure. Normalizing grief and proof that it demands to be felt. These are books that could be preferred over "traditional" grief books that can be too heavy and technical on a grieving brain but help a griever feel seen and understand their own grief more.
