Recs if you like A Lesson in Vengeance...

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.

I'm sure some of these are already on your TBR, so might as well add some more! Let me know if I am missing any of your favorites!

dark academia books with queer and trans MCs

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

Is it healthy? Absolutely not. Am I going to look inward and unpack why I love it? Also no. Is it Gay? Definitely. Am I going to read books filled with obsession, rivalry, manipulation, betrayal, codependency, and dangerous sapphic longing? Obviously.

list inspired by the one church lady who asked me what i was reading a few years back, then was shocked and appalled when i showed her The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires. this is all for you maam🫡

This includes book that have either mystery or thrillers as a primary or secondary genre. If you have recommendations to add please comment and I'll happily add them 💕

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

and yes, linguistics lives in the English department even in a magical setting

as comprehensive a guide to ya horror as i can make it! work in progress, suggestions welcome ♡

All the YA Sapphic books that have been published (or at least most of them). The books in this list have at least one main character who is either a lesbian, bisexual or pansexual. I only put the first books in series.

These sapphic books come from all different genres, each one filling a past Sapphic September prompt plus several bonuses!! How many have you read?

Is this dark academia? The dead body probably means yes. Mysteries set at boarding schools!

true dark academia that ranges from fantastical/supernatural to psychological literary fiction

Something sapphic this way comes 🏳️‍🌈✨ (and also something queer in general bc I am here for all the queer in all the witchy settings, but there are a looooot more sapphic witch books than any other LGBTQ identity so that will take up the majority of the list!)

"i do it for the girls and the gays, that's it"

All of these are from the list that Texas lawmaker Matt Krause in October of 2021 tried and in many cases succeeded to get banned from classrooms and school libraries. There are quite a few interesting and odd choices in there which is part of why I wanted to share this list on here. Not necessarily recommendations but there are some pretty good books on here. As well as a lot of textbooks

Homophobia is scary, and not in the spooky movie haunted house kind of way, so to take our minds off of the horror of real life, I present the horror of fiction! I want to read about us running our asses away, final girling it to the end, and taking down the true enemy, capitalism! Erm, I mean, ghosts!
