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!

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.

butch4butch representation is difficult to find, and i’m constantly on the lookout for more, so i’m compiling the list—as slow growing as it may be. the goal in making this list is to highlight books where the main characters are confident in their masculinity and the main romance is butch4butch/masc4masc.

(i am aware this list is lacking in bipoc books as of now, and i am hoping to find many more. if you have any recs, i am gladly welcoming them.)

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! ✦

PLEASE drop your recs!! This is a work in progress and I'm not an expert, just upset that i couldnt find any preexisting pagebound lists highlighting indie books by Black authors

Black love in all its glory

this list features upcoming books that feature sapphic MCs or romance and are releasing in 2026!
