Romance books featuring love stories between two women that will make you swoon!

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

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 about the beauty and heartbreak of lifelong, ever-evolving female friendships. oh, to have been children together! to have grown up together, or to have grown apart!

Short, quick reads that still pack a punch and wake you from your numb slumber

If we are going to do Qwordy's the Hardest Reading Challenge You'll Ever Do 3.0 - we should probably get some Pagebound badges along the way! I'm specifically going to be adding books from Quests and readalongs that I think matches at least one of these cover prompts: craft, food, motion, biomes/landscapes, animals, weather.

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.

the staples of the book community on youtube in the early to mid 2010s.

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

A non-comprehensive list of Queer books.

what can i say? my boy has taste™. bonus points if you read the same as Nick and Charlie! We see them with 10 Things I Hate About Plato by Jack Maddox and Queer City by Peter Ackroyd!

YA novels with mental health representation.

The list of LGBTQ books used as an excuse for political prosecution. After the office of a publishing house was searched by the police, a list made by that publishing house surfaced online. It contained several LGBTQ titles published previously and a request for booksellers to dispose of them. The list made clear a reason behind the search – selling LGBTQ content (that is labeled extremist in Russia). It was later confirmed by newly started lawsuit against the staff of the publishing house

sapphic romance

let the girls kiss as queerly as possible --

not all of these are romance and most are from my tbr so they could not be sapphic and just, queer, but most of them should be

when the cover is absolutely doing its job correctly

(gorgeous, funny, and uniquely fitting covers, all in one)
