Recs if you like The Night Watch...

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.

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

Stories that tell the tale of sapphic life and love throughout time

Books on my TBR with LGBTQIA+ characters or themes.

Sapphic books I don’t see people talking about as much. Mileage may vary!

I thought it would be nice to have all of them in one long list.
