a (ongoing) sapphic masterlist! (600+ books!)
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!






an ongoing sapphic and lesbian masterlist (2300+)
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.






Coming of age over 30
Any book with an mc over 30, whose character arch involves themes common in coming of age stories like, questioning their upbringing or experiencing some aspect of the world/ relationships/ common experience for the first time or learning who they truly are/ whatβs important to them/ being themselves authentically for the first time ect.

When the Fit Check Doesnβt Lie
Books that are just as good as the cover promises. AKA: Fantastic book covers that also happen to be fantastic books! List will be added to in the future because I canβt leave well enough alone. (Suggestions welcome, leave it in the comments.)






Ambiguously Sapphic
I got a request for a list of sapphic fiction/romances with ambiguous covers that wouldn't be flagged by their country's customs and subsequently tossed. Thought I'd post it here, in case it might benefit someone else!






Ugly Ducklings
I love the Pagebound community but the one thing I donβt like about the app is how it incentives sticking to popular books more likely to have a decent amount of posts. (Granted some of this has to do with it being a little new) Itβs my experience however that the hidden gems or even just less popular books are often just as if not more interesting as the best sellers.
So this is my list of books with 5 posts or less that I think deserve more love.
