Books with fat and plus size main characters. (leave a comment with recommendations!)

There is an epidemic of authors marketing their books as having lesbian characters but never actually using the word “lesbian” in text— or only doing so in a negative context. The following list is books that use the word in a neutral or positive context. I love being a lesbian and I love calling myself a lesbian!! Let’s celebrate this word as much as possible!! 🧡🩷🧡🩷🧡🩷🧡🩷

All additions will be read and vetted by me first but recommendations are welcome in the comments!!

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.

Recommendations welcome! Also, I have not read all so if some are misplaced, let me know!

it’s dangerous to go alone. take this! books inspired by, about, or having a feel of a TTRPG.

I haven’t read all so if some are misplaced, don’t hesitate to let me know! Recommendations are welcome!

This is for the Gamers when you want to read about gaming: Romance & Cozy Fantasy Edition!

Recommendations and requests welcome

curated with love by a real life butch 🫡

will update continuously

Not all of these characters use the terms “butch” and “femme” for themselves but I’ve included them based on my personal reading of their characters (aka butch intuition). Check out my other lists for works with canonical butches and femmes.

Natalie Naudus has narrated hundreds of audiobooks so bear with me as I try to get them all on this list!

Dungeons and Dragons themed books across different genres. Mostly YA, romance and fantasy. In some books the characters play DnD & some books feel like they're set in a campaign.⚔️ Pls feel free to recommend books in the comments! (I haven't read all of the books yet.) For series I only added the first book. ✨️🏰💖
