Recs if you like Hammajang Luck...

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!

Doing crime when gay should be legal. Also includes be bi do crime, be trans do crime, and everything in-between. Levels of crime and queerness may vary.

(I'll take suggestions!)

Reading suggestions for the Trans Rights Readathon! (Any year of course). Books with trans characters of any label (or any non-cis gender identity) by trans/non-cis authors. I have not read all the books in this list. Feel free to name your fave books by trans authors in the comments!

Another resource for those looking for butches in books.

Disclaimer: I do not necessarily recommend all of these books. Please check out my page for reviews of the ones I’ve read!

sci-fi visions of BIPOC cultures on other planets or in space. recommendations always welcome!

(all-genres) fiction involving robberies. please leave recs!

Some books I either love or am super excited to read that are queer, BIPOC, and have some kind of speculative element (fantasy, sci fi, paranormal, etc)

Contemporary, historical, YA, horror, you name it! Fiction that includes the unique history, setting, and cultural backdrop of the Hawaiian Islands, its people, and its traditions, written by Native Hawaiian—Kānaka Maoli—authors. Sticking to one book per author; suggestions welcome!

An on-going attempt to track Asian authors in my Interested/TBR (and hopefully Finished) categories. Books are generally fiction/lit fic/fantasy with some memoirs. Authors span West to East Asia, the Asian diaspora, and mixed-race folx.

Disclaimer: I am not Pacific Islander, but we should all strive to read more Pasifika authors!

The grouping of Pasifika and Asian communities has a complex history. And because of this grouping, Pasifika authors are largely underrepresented.

Check out Pacific Islanders in Publishing (I cannot figure out how to hyperlink, sorry) for more recs!

I have not read all of the books on this list, so please let me know if any are not fit for this list!

Suggestions are always welcome!

Stories with a sapphic main character of color, across genres and age groups. 🔞

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! ✦

Queer sci-fi 💫 (Not always in space, I think I've covered most sci-fi subgenres)

Books with a transmasc/enby character with a love interest with a woman may be primary or minor romance and minor part of the story. But mostly just trying to create a list to read because most of the books I read with transmasc are romantically linked with men, so feel free to recommend or correct me.

Because we love to see ourselves in the media we love, here is a list of great fantasy romances with trans male or transmasc leaning nonbinary MCs. Mix of adult and YA, so check labels and content warnings!

Fiction books with at least one main character identifying as Asian and LGBTQ (queer and/or trans) — continuously updated!

because who doesn’t want a strong, kind butch in their life that’s a little dumb?

inspired by the himbo quest but make it butch <3 all genres included and suggestions always welcome! stud, butch, masc, and any variant included, too, whether they officially use the title or not :)

full disclosure: i have not (yet) read all of these, so if the butchness or himboness is lacking for one, do comment.

I’ve read dozens of stories with butch characters and yet it still feels like such an unexpected delight each time I see the word “butch” in a book. The more that younger lesbians and sapphics reject the word, the more I find myself fiercely clinging to it. I love being a butch lesbian. Butchness feels like home. Using the word honors the history and memory of the butch dykes who boldly walked this path before us.

Please drop recs in the comments 🧡

because it's almost 2026 and we need to move on from techno-orientalist cyberpunk works!!!

This is a collection of queer books written by bipoc authors that fall into the genre of fantasy and/or sci-fi (supernatural horror is also included)

(If a book is part of a series I only put the first book because otherwise it gets messy very quickly)

Recommendations are always welcome!!!
