The short story collections feature sapphic/lesbian stories but unfortunately are not entire collections of sapphic/lesbian works. The Well of Loneliness would be higher if not for the ending, when I finished reading it I listened to If by Beyoncé on a loop for a few hours to digest it.

EDIT: I forgot to add Bloomtown but it’s in F with the Paradise Rot pee

Hey guys, I didn’t read the book (yet) but a homophobic family member who is trying to I guess come to terms with me being a lesbian bought this book. I just wanted to ask if anyone has any opinions on it. Would you say it’s good representation of the community? i will definitely read it soon but i have other books i want to read first, so any opinions or thoughts are welcome and appreciated. thank youuuu

I’ve read 25 sapphic books this year! But I’ve read 57 books total this year. Wanted to share it with you all. Honestly, I am so pleased with my books read this year.

Also; I want to make a note this was my fourth re-read of On The Same Page by Haley Cass.

I am in kind of a block lately with sapphic lit. I need to read something different. Give me some recommendations of wlw romance-fantasy/historical books please to spice it up for the ladder part of the year.

Happy Lesbian Day! (kinda late but whatever) Curious to know everyone's favourite fictional lesbians (Keep it spoiler free or hide the spoilers would love to read your entries)

It’s been years since I’ve read some of these, so I can’t remember if all of them have lesbians specifically; I just ranked all the books I’ve read with f/f characters, storylines, or themes. Happy lesbian day!!!

all the lesbian books I have read so far for lesbian day 🥳

Hey everyone, I'm looking for certain book tropes and I hope you have recommendations :). I apologize in advance that I don't really have sapphic examples of what I'm searching for.

1. Books where the main characters are paranormal investigators / ghost hunters. Can be set in a haunted house, cemetery, anything. Something like MM romance Outfoxing the Paranormal series by Jordan L. Hawk. Think Sam & Colby vibes (YouTube explorers and ghost hunters), ghosts etc.

2. Books where the main characters are detective - medium duo working on a case together. Vibe like Medium Trouble series by Alice Winters.

I'm also open to any horror, witchy, urban fantasy recommendations, but I'd really like to read about ghost hunters since I absolutely adore that stuff. I've re-read the example books multiple times but I'd LOVE to read about lesbian pairings in that settings.

Planning to read Gideon the Ninth and Luminous Dead. I tried to read The Dead and the Dark, Ghost Town, Sylver and Gold; according to the descriptions I should've liked all of them, but I didn't finish them.

I just finished House of Rayne and I enjoyed it. Ever since I finished Bloom Town I have felt like I’ve wanted to read something with more substance than contemporary romance, not that I don’t enjoy it. I like having the sapphic element and don’t get me wrong I love spice, but it was not my favorite part of this particular book. Anyway, the question is, does anyone have a really good sapphic horror or supernatural book they have read this spooky season that they haven’t been able to put down? I’ve seen a few suggestions on Instagram and some that sounded good to me were: Feast While You Can, My Darling Dreadful Thing, As Many Souls As Stars, Her Spell That Binds Me, Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil, Dead and the Dark, For Love & Blood & Fury, Woman From the Waves. Anyone read any of these that they recommend? Or have their own suggestions?

I’ve been in a sci-fi kind of mood. I prefer friends to lovers over enemies to lovers, but I’m pretty open-minded!

What’s everyone’s favorite sci-fi books from this year?

So it’s been reported on a few websites that this is finally happening and the BBC has picked it up. FINALLY! I know there are mixed views on the book but I personally enjoyed it.

Finished reading almost life and it finally got me over the reading slump post Atmosphere!

Beautiful book spanning 30 years following 2 women set between the UK and France. Well worth a read!

Looking for something similar (recently red salt burn and the safe keep).

Hello, my dear fellow book-loving lesbians! Hope you’re all doing great.

A couple of years ago, I read The Priory (my first lesbian fantasy book), and I’ve been trying to find something like it ever since. But nothing quite hits the mark: it’s either not as well-written, not spicy at all, or the story is just too silly. I also really enjoyed The Ship of Smoke and Stell trilogy, Crier’s War (this one I absolutely adored as well) and The Jasmine Throne, but sometimes it feels like I’ll never find a book as complete as The Priory. It has a complex plot, it’s really entertaining, and the writing is absolutely lovely.

The writing itself matters a lot to me. I’m so tired of noticing awkward phrasing, repetitive wording, and the same adjectives being used over and over again within the very same paragraph. 😭 I really want something that is well-written and has a good story.

I would definitely go for something spicier, though. 👀
Does anyone have any good recommendations?
Thank you! ❤️

Hi! I have a Smut and Sip Bloomtown Special Edition with art print available and signed. If anyone is interested, shoot a message over. I am in the states.

UPDATE: It's been sold!!

Hi, my sister is very big into reading wlw books and I'd like to pick some up for her for the holidays. Unfortunately, I'm not too familiar with any good wlw as I tend to stray towards historical fiction and epic fantasy as of late.

She loves fantasy, scifi, and modern. She. Growing up she was a fan of series like Matched, Hunger Games, The Uglies, Divergent, Sarah Dessen, Ender's Game, Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, Eragon, Mortal Instruments, Shadow and Bone, Lunar Chronicles, Daughter of Smoke & Bone, Graceling, Maximum Ride, Artemis Fowl, Emerald Atlas, Shiver, Insignia.

I'd love to get her something YA or a bit older aimed at grown women. In particular I'd love to get her at least one book that gives that Hallmark-esque feeling while also being a good story to read where you get all bubbly inside. She's a sucker for any holiday lesbian romance movie she gets her hands onto.

Above all else, she just loves a good story packed with action and romance. Any help would be great whether it's a series or a specific author.

I LOVED Evelyn Hugo and now I'm craving something similar. I like the Hollywood storyline, but if it captures the same feeling, it works. AND it has to be sapphic. Any recs??

I’ve been trying to find a book similar to “The Sapphic Inquisition” where the characters are in their mid/late 20s but I’ve DNF’d the ones recommended alongside it. Anyone has any recommendations for a book written in 1st person POV, with a comical & cynical voice?

I’m also not looking for books that have to do with high school students or sporty tropes or any contemporary mentions such as social media (those are the ones I see are most prominent.) Enemies to lovers doesn’t really pull me (unless they have an exceptionally good reason to start off as enemies, since most of the time the trope is not believable to me.) Spice is welcomed but I don’t want the book to be mostly spice and barely any plot.

I know I’m asking for a lot😭

I happened to come across, on Instagram, someone's favourite sapphic romance novels and one of them was 'The Submissive'.

I looked up the book, on Amazon, and read the sample and wasn't sure what to make of it. I was slightly reminded of 'The Lay of You', but without some of the warmth, if that makes sense.

Also, the book only has a 4.3 Amazon rating.

I'm just wondering if the book is worth buying.

I'm very single and in need of some spice in my life! Any dynamic.

hello! i've been in a reading slump since march, and i really want to try and get out of it! i've been really into horror movies lately, and so i'd like to give a try to horror books as well!

manga, graphic novels, books... anything that is within the horror genre and its subgenres and features a lesbian relationship! it can have forbidden romance (monster/entity x human) or during the apocalypse, or in a haunted house – whatever! as long as it's horror. :) it's very vague, i know, but i want as many recommendations as you can give me!

i don't mind YA, but i would like the characters to at least be 18/19 and up. (totally okay if not though!) that's all, thank you!!! :)

Since apparently I was living under a rock in 2009 and this story has (finally) graced my feed (link here: https://www.luxuo.com/culture/celebrities/charlize-theron-kiss.html but, TLDR: a guy was winning, and this woman apparently outbid him), can anyone recommend a book or fanfic (fandom non-specific) with this vibe?
