Recs if you like Into the Gray...

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.

Pirates, sailors, mermaids, sirens, selkies, tentancle monsters - if they live on/in the ocean and are queer, they've earned a spot on this list! Across genres and age groups - includes erotica. 🔞🔞🔞

Recommendations welcome!

✦ I have not read all of these books - if you notice anything that seems to be mis-labeled/mis-placed on this list, please let me know! ✦

Works in the speculative, fantasy, science fiction, and horror genres by authors who are not cisgender! Two spirit, nonbinary, trans, genderfluid, and other gender diverse authors count!

oh me, oh my, that woman is kinda hot except .. am i seeing things correctly? is that a tail? or horns? or scales? or hooves? or wings? ah— that monster is kinda hot. and who could blame me if i decided i wanted that monster? i wonder ..

(during my search for these, i found a lot of monster romances that used gen ai, so i went through each one to make sure that was not the case. if i missed any, do let me know. if you have any recs, i encourage sharing. ;))

A collection of sapphic fantasy books that I have seen recommended across tiktok

Stories featuring transfem characters (trans women & non-binary characters) as main characters or love interests. Not exclusively, but largely indie. Stretches genres and age groups, including graphic novels & short stories (but not including non-fiction) 🔞
