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.

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)

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.

She Knelt to the Ground & Said โMarry Me, Juliet!โ
my fave lesbian/sapphic (and culturally related queer) period romance novels, mostly pre-victorian era where they have to overcome angsty and tough queer coming-of-age.

Trans Romance For Any Mood
My favorite trans romances. Notes: Trans used as the umbrella term. My reading has been severely lacking in MTF romance and I am correcting that! Will be updating this list regularly ๐

Bridgerton-esque Books
Books to binge while we desperately wait for the next season of Bridgerton. You're welcome to comment recs for me to add, but they must have Bridgerton vibes. Priority given to queer and BIPOC books!

Bi, Pan & Queer Authors Who Write Sapphic
your fave iconic lesbian books were written by bi+ authors!!!
mostly to oppose the erasure of essential bisexual participation in lesbian literature and misinformation that bi+ women broadly prefer mlm to wlw. Most of these authors have several sapphic books so make sure to check out the rest! many are also nonbinary, trans and/or on the aro/ace spectrums so please be mindful of their pronouns, labels (or lack thereof) and gender identities. Suggestions welcomed!

Queer Romance Books
Happy Valentine's Day! Have a huge pile of romantic queer novels. (Note that some of these are more "queer books that include a romance" and others are definitely more "this is a romance novel.") (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators!)
