Recs if you like Wake Up, Nat & Darcy...

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!

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!

Yes, queer and trans folks play sports. These are those books.

Sapphic characters and sports, what could be better?

Whether it's about the romance or the sport or both, these books at the very least contain characters who practice and/or care about sports, are part of the LGBTQIA+ community, and possibly do the kissy

Queer romance set in, on, around, or a stone's-throw-away-from a hockey rink. Pro-level, Ivy league or Rec-level, we don't discriminate here.

The few ones that we have :,) but seriously, why are there so few sapphic hockey books???? Pls comment any that I can add!

This list gathers ice hockey romance novels that explore queer sexualities (achillean, sapphic, poly), disability, masculinity and women’s participation in sport. The corpus supports my research question for an essay I'm writing: How do contemporary ice hockey romance novels challenge hegemonic masculinity and reimagine belonging within a traditionally heteromasculine sport?

Lesbian and non-binary sports romances.

You love hockey romance, but are tired of seeing the same books recommend over and over? You want to diversify your reading and read more disabled, fat, BIPOC and queer stories? I have some recs for you! (A lot of these are from talk_about_swoon on Instagram)

I feel like with the rising interest in HR and hockey in general it is necessary to show that not just men belong in hockey, so here is a list about women playing or coaching ✨ This list will include fiction and nonfiction. Recs are always welcome, I haven’t read everything!!! 💅✨🫶 *P.S. I hope the list will include nonbinary and other genderqueer people in the future, I just haven’t found any books yet!!

For sapphics who love hockey girls and the PWHL

these women play ice sports and love other women. as always, recs welcome!

Books featuring sports from Winter Olympics

what it sounds like

Perfect romance reads involving winter sports!

Literally just hockey romance! Enjoy!
