a (ongoing) sapphic masterlist! (600+ books!)
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!
an ongoing sapphic masterlist of books (1600+)
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.
Books with Trans representation
I tried to include most books I know or that have been recommended that either have transfem, transmasc or nonbinary main characters. I only add first in series!
Cover Porn: The Romance Edition
Romance books to read for the aesthetic (usually cartoon covers because Iโm trash for character art)
Pansexual Protagonists ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
Books with protagonists (or love interests) who are sexually or romantically attracted to people regardless of their sex or gender.
Sometimes the word is used on the page, and someone times it has been inferred. Just trying my best.
Competitive Queers
Sport (fictional + real) and competition queer romance recommendations!
Feel free to leave your own recommendations in the comments and I will add them to the list! :)
Sapphic Adult Romance
Much like my Sapphic Fantasy list, these are all the books that I've saved from TikTok before deleting it in the hopes of reading them one day. Feel free to comment any that you'd like added!
Book(s) of the Month(s) ๐
Here's every book so far from BOTM's monthly shortlist since February 2015 for anyone who wants to read them all like I do!
Sapphic Nonbinary Transmasc Books
Books with a transmasc/enby character with a love interest with a woman may be primary or minor romance and minor part of the story. But mostly just trying to create a list to read because most of the books I read with transmasc are romantically linked with men, so feel free to recommend or correct me.
Itโs okay to judge a book by itโs cover!
Beautiful books for when your monthly reading roundup needs a little facelift ๐
yes, chef, yes!
can I get some hands? yes, please, chef ๐
do you have a crush on Alton Brown on Cutthroat Kitchen or Ayo Edebri on The Bear? maybe you just really love making food or eating a really good meal? do you make sure to lick your plate clean and finish your meal? then this is the list for you!
hopefully the chefs in these books make your mouth water ๐คค
to quote Hudson Williams: munch munch munch yum yum yum
trans & non-binary romance (updating)
adult genre romance stories where at least one main character is trans and/or non-binary! i havenโt necessarily read or recommend all the books included here; please lmk if anything is incorrect. Also this list is white and transmasc leaning so def please leave any recs in the comments! iโve mainly excluded erotica, as my goal for this list is genre romance, but most books listed do contain sexual scenes (varying levels of explicitness)

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.
Beloved Butchfemme: Masc x Fem Lesbian/Sapphic Rep
queer butch/femme & masc/fem fiction i adore <3 not every character on this list might identify as a woman, a โnon-manโ or a sapphic/lesbian, but all these pairings still remain closely related to lesbian/sapphic butchfemme culture.

Everybody Get More Bisexual Butchfemme Right Now!
we owe lots of great butchfemme (and derivative masc/fem) rep to bi, pan, queer & unlabeled characters, often by bi+ authors! bi, aspec & trans folks are historically essential participants of butchfemme lesbian/sapphic/queer culture. these books have plurisexual character(s), sometimes through implied attraction transcending gender rather than explicit labels; this includes intersections with gender diversity and asexual/aromantic spectrums. check out my other list on bi butches/studs/mascs!
