Recs if you like A Spindle Splintered...

in progress

Basically, a huge list of every book I ever heard features sapphic 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.

Open to suggestions for more titles.

Don't shoot the messenger.

No Hans Christian Andersen on this list. Retellings based on...Twelve Dancing Princesses, Cinderella, The Goose Girl, Snow White, Snow White + Rose Red, Rapunzel, Hansel + Gretel, Rumplestiltskin, Bluebeard, Little Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty, The Frog Prince, King Thrushbeard, The Pied Piper, The Six Swans, The Brave Little Tailor, Bearskin, Puss in Boots, Allerleirauh, The Wolf + the Fox, The Pink, Maid Maleen, Brother + Sister, The Golden Goose, The Six Swans, etc. As always… no Gaiman

Intersectionality, baby! Disability includes many conditions, including - but not limited to - physical disabilities, chronic illnesses, psychiatric disabilities, sensory disabilities, and neurodivergence.

your favorite stories growing up, with a queer twist! anywhere from the most popular fairytales to the more obscure ones, recs always welcome!

Shorter books (under 200 pages) that are part of at least one quest. Many are also in the public domain, making them easily accessible when you want to grind for that next badge.

Speculative (sci-fi, fantasy, horror etc.) novellas less than 200 pages long that are either standalone or read like a standalone story

fantasy novels where curses play a role, whether it be a cursed person, object, or place! recs always welcome!

This list is perfect for a quick magical escape. 😊

We need more disabled characters in media so here's a bunch of examples of good representation

short books around 200 pages or less that you can easily read in one sitting! for those who just want a quick read or those trying to hit their reading goals ! i tried to include a variety of genres including lit fic, fantasy, sci-fi, horror, thriller, etc.

Somebody asked for a list based on the recs folks gave on my pagebound club post, so this is that! (Plus i dumped a bunch of my faves & tbr in)

Queer stories that are under 200 pages

Titles that feature alliteration and we love to see it. Recommendations requested to round out this remarkably ridiculous recital.

Magic? Injury? Stasis? Curse? Sleeping Beauty theme? When a character needs a hand back to consciousness.

Short fantasy and sci-fi books under 200 pages. Novellas and bite-sized adventures for those looking for something fast. (Absolutely not because I'm trying to squeeze some short books in before the end of the year.)

Anything magical, witchy, fairy, vampire, and/or supernatural🤍
