Recs if you like Bruised...

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.

Welcoming suggestions<3

Sapphic characters and sports, what could be better?

Whether it's about the romance or the sport or both, these books at the very least contain characters who practice and/or care about sports, are part of the LGBTQIA+ community, and possibly do the kissy

✧ lesbian pulp, poems by a latina lesbian, native lesbian writers, vampires written by a black lesbian, these reads are a mix of my favorite sapphic books + any other sapphic fiction i find that looks promising!

refer to my "lesbian history" list for essays, photographs & lived lesbian experiences ! ✧
