Recs if you like Cantoras...

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.

This list brings together fiction from around the world that documents historical events or periods of time. Titles in this list aren't necessarily "historical fiction" but do have an important historical element to them.

I find fiction is an easy media to help educate me about world history I never learned in school. These titles aim to bring to light historical events that may not be taught in schools!

As always, I'm open to any and all suggestions! 🤠

my personal wlw library so… a lot of classic lesbian lit, basically

The only queer & GNC lists/quests I’ve seen have been genre. I love them, but I wanted to also curate a list of literary fiction with LGBTQIA+ characters and themes!

Any sapphic book that I feel falls in the category of lit fic

Books on my TBR with LGBTQIA+ characters or themes.

The 80s were loud, complicated, joyful, heartbreaking, and transformative. These books capture the decade from every angle.

Books read by Prose Before Bros, a book club for women of color in PDX

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

Books on rebellion and revolutionary struggle across Latin America

Niche but underrated!

Books that feature queer found or chosen families. For when you need that ragtag chaotic queer family energy

This list features one book from each country in South America. I put the focus on women authors, with additional queer and BIPoC representation throughout. Happy reading!
