an ongoing sapphic masterlist of books (1600+)
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.
Love on the Neurodivergent Spectrum
Romance novels and stories with substantial romantic subplots where at least one lead is explicitly neurodivergent. Every title is either own voices, has a character whose neurodivergence is confirmed within the text or by the author. This collection celebrates love across the full spectrum of neurological diversity, including Autism, ADHD, OCD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Tourette's, Hoarding Disorder, PTSD, and more. Recommendations are always welcome!

HRCYED 3.0 x Pagebound Quests (Titles Edition)
If we are going to do Qwordy's the Hardest Reading Challenge You'll Ever Do 3.0 - we should probably get some Pagebound badges along the way! I'm specifically going to be adding books from Quests and readalongs that go past the July start date and match at least one of these title prompts: Periodic Table, Familial Terms, Rainbow of Words (also Joseph's coat), Numerical Titles, Titular Counting 5+, Pun in the Title, and First & Last Name in the Title. Recommendations welcome!
Pansexual Protagonists 🏳️🌈
Books with protagonists (or love interests) who are sexually or romantically attracted to people regardless of their sex or gender.
Sometimes the word is used on the page, and someone times it has been inferred. Just trying my best.
MF Romances with Bi Main Characters
I love reading romances between men and women where one or both of the characters are bi because it shows the potential of bi people to fall in love with any gender, if that makes sense. So often bi people in “straight” relationships don’t get clocked as LGBTQ+ and I like seeing how they make a “straight” relationship queer. It’s also nice to read about LGBTQ+ outside of achillian and sapphic stories and spaces. I’m always on the hunt for more.

Feel good romance books
Romance books which just make you feel good while reading them. They have a happy end and good vibes overall. Maybe you enjoy reading them during the summer or when you need a little something to take your mind of things. They don't have very dark topic, though they don't have to be without a little conflict to keep you entertained. Feel free to comment so I can add more recommendations!
