Recs if you like The Woman from the Waves...

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!

chest hair, the happy trail, armpit hair, and the ever elusive bush 🥴 this list is a compilation of smutty books with descriptions or mentions of body hair. because there is nothingggg NOTHING!!!! more primal and sexy than hairy people going at it 😌 if you have suggestions or if you've seen the mythical bush, pLEASE LET ME KNOW I'M ON MY KNEES!! i want to normalize body hair so bad 🥺 will only list first in series to keep things in check! body hair types listed in the comments

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.

All the lesbians books I can find. If you have any book you want me to add please comment ❤️

queer smut with monsters, with breeding sometimes, darkness sometimes, but mostly the point is: queer humans, monsters, smut 😋 no shame no blame

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

the coquette femme aesthetic is of the utmost importance

We all know what kind of freakishness those too-tight collars are really holding in, the depths of depravity lurking underneath those flowing robes. These books prove our theories, with enough extra creativity to make us blush and sweat.

Clergy capers, nun naughtiness, pegged priests, creative uses of crucifixes, sanctimonious smut.

Not limited to Catholic blasphemy.

Exactly what it says on the tin, books that feature queer nuns (some Christian, some of a more fantastical variety)

Shifter lovers step right up: we’ve got sexy penguins & cryptids & dinosaurs, oh my! 😏

Slide into these romance + erotica books with unique shifters ranging from frisky creatures of the deep to hot prey animals. There are great PB lists with popular shifters (wolves, bears, etc) and sentient object shifters, so I wanted to provide something different.

Books include omegaverse, fated mates, variety of relationships (sapphic, MM, MF, etc), & tons of spice. 🔥

Open to recs!

recommendations appreciated!! ♥️

High Fantasy & Low-stakes fantasy

put!! them!! both!! on!! the!! cover!! we want chemistry, detailing and design!! WUH! LUH! WUH! shakes the publisher some of these are series so check out the rest!

Sometimes I get tired of how in monster romances, he’s always the monster and she’s a human. Here’s a list of books where she’s the monster. There’s a mix of pairings. As always, open to recs!

Note: The Sapphic story in The Revanche Cycle tetralogy (Winter's Reach) continues in the Wisdom's Grave trilogy (Sworn To The Night), which also has the final HEA. However the two series can be read independently of each other.

fun/casual lgbt books. predominantly contemporary romance, trying to avoid lit fic. more for when i am looking for a palette cleanse.

books that as far as I know are sapphic in some way, that have come out either last year, this year, or next year

I’m trying to compile all the lesbian monster books I can find!

I will only add the first books of a series unless they’re able to be read standalone.

Any suggestions are appreciated!
