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 lesbian / sapphic masterlist (2300+)
Basically, a huge list of books from all genres featuring sapphic characters, whether bisexual, lesbian, butch, femme, or anything in between.
Includes fiction and nonfiction. Books with spice, and books with very little romance alike. You may find epic lady knights, pirates, ancient vampires or just weird girl adventures, heartbreaking stories or cozy books of found family and queer joy. Memoirs, historical fiction, instruction manuals, maybe even a poem or two.
Welcoming suggestions<3






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!






Non-binary fiction
Fiction reads with non-binary characters and/or by non-binary authors
This includes gender fluid, agender, two-spirit, and any other gender identities outside of the binary labels.
See my trans Rights readathon suggestions masterlist for more trans reads! ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ
(Under construction ๐ ๐ง many more books to be added! Suggestions welcome!)






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.






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 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!






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! :)






Itโs okay to judge a book by itโs cover!
Beautiful books for when your monthly reading roundup needs a little facelift ๐






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.






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)






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

Beloved ButchfemmeโMasc x Fem Lesbian/Sapphic Recs
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.
