This list focuses on characters that have lived through physical, sexual, or religious trauma. This is not a list of self help or feel good books. This is for the people who know life is dark, love is conditional, and trust is something you guard. Endings are not guaranteed to be happy (tho some are) and characters may not be likable (trauma does that to you), but all books listed are ones that I've personally read and like. I will not add books that I do not know.

Horror books with pink or purple covers, or mostly pink/purple covers

Horror books with covers that are blue or mostly blue

opps

Books set in or around the Edwardian and Gilded Age

Spooky summer fun for all ages, from cute picture books with spooky elements, to teen + YA thrills, to adult-level gore. Books on this list have a heavy summer theme, either highlighting the season or taking place in settings like summer camps, fairgrounds, beaches, or water parks, and have some sort of creepy or scary element to them.

it’s Father’s Day in the US and what better way than to celebrate with a bunch of different dads, from baby daddies to Daddies to ex’s dads 🙂‍↕️

as always, taking any and all suggestions!!!

Retelling of classic fairytales and stories where at least one character is a different gender than the original

These can be contemporary, fantasy or science fiction.

(More like popular books i want to read but I'm terrified to start because i fear I'll be disappointed But yeah they don't have spice i checked trigger warnings.)

Graphic Novels with queer representation

Being part of a sapphic book review podcast and running a few different review sites focused specifically on published and unpublished stories, I've read so many older books and femslash. I've forgotten how good some of them were, even though they may be dated. I would love to have younger generations be exposed to these books. And it's also for all us oldies who still have our favorites pop into our heads and make us smile. I hope this list rekindles a love for some of the founding members of modern sapphic romance.

Teenage nostalgia core from when I used to read fanfics on wattpad.

What is happening to your food at a molecular level when you heat, chop or salt it

Books with FFM pairings

Horror books with green or mostly green covers

(Inspired by @erintripsey s lists on audiobook narrators)

Helen Laser was one of the audiobook narrators that truly made me fall in love with audiobooks, her narration of Yellowface was fantastic and honestly one of the first times I got audiobooks

I honestly don‘t know how to describe her voice except that it scratches that itch in my brain

Who run the world? That's right, girls can fight too! So I hope you finds these books with strong fmcs you'll enjoy them
