It makes it difficult for people to find new things to read. I suppose I could make a list and put it in a thread in the F/F group but then people can't vote on their favorites. It also kind of defeats the purpose of a listopia list.
I came across something similar in another list about books you wish more people knew about. Somebody had gone and put New York Times best seller books in it. I wish people would respect these lists more.



Librarians can prune lists. I'll add a note to the description and get rid of the books that I've read that I know aren't lesbian fiction, but I'm probably not going to be back to this list to maintain it.

I've never personally read the following but they're suspect to me, so I'm going to look at them further: Santa Olivia, & Saints Astray by Jacqueline Carey; She's No Faerie Princess, & Wolf at the Door by Christine Warren; Conspiracy Game, Night Game, & Shadow Game by Christine Feehan; Never Cry Wolf by Cynthia Eden; Hunter's Moon by C.T. Adams; and Blue Moon by Lori Handeland.
If you know if any of those do actually belong on this list, post a comment. If you know of any others that shouldn't be here, comment.
I'll try and keep this list clean if everyone can let me know if something shows up on here that shouldn't be there :)
Thanks!

None of those books by Christine Feehan feature f/f pairings

The rest look like they belong, or I'm not really sure of them so I'll leave them. :)


Laurel K. Hamilton isn't F/F though her recent books (Anita Blake Vampire Huntress series), since Harlequin, have begun to feature F/F relationships surrounding the protagonist.
P. Briggs' Mercy Thompson series has never featured any that I can re-call.
I've never read a Nora Roberts that included F/F content.
Richelle Mead's Succubus series has ONE F/F scene, but then I haven't read the last 2 books.
Kim Harrison's Hollows series had a budding but struggling relationship between the protagonist and a lead. Sadly, in my estimation, they moved on.
Yasmine Galenorn- only read one from the sisters' series. It DID have a F/F scene..... Yeah.
Most of that doesn't count but, hey.
The rest, Angela, I have either not read or hadn't completed the series.
It is majorly lovely though to at least have a starting point. I'll check the books' reviews (I know. Tedious) to confirm the presence of actual F/F content.
Peace

The two Jacqueline Carey novels, at least, definitely belong -- the romantic relationship at their core is a lesbian one between Loup and Pilar. (There's a M/F/F polyamorous triad in the background too!)


Rachael, do you have more info on that? I'm not really wanting to support someone that purposefully misrepresents themselves (by something other than a pseudonym) and all the author bios are very distinctly *not* referring to the author's gender/orientation.

Santa Olivia is Happily gay (f/f), so don't be turned away by the hetero beginning. It almost got me too.
Kim Harrison's Hollows has some f/f moments but they are predominantly about 'one of' the main characters and not THE main/lead character.
Newer L.K.Hamilton Vamp hunter series has f/f elements concerning the lead but not enough to make the series f/f themed


The Devil Inside (Cain Casey, #1)
Protector of the Realm (Supreme Constellations, #1)
The Girls From Alcyone (The Girls from Alcyone #1)
Merchantman (The Girls from Alcyone #1.5)
Unknown Futures (Night Stand, #76)
Undercover Passions
Gift of Time




Have you read Undercover Passions? I ask because it's listed at AllRomance as being a werewolf PNR story? Also, Gift of Time apparently has time travel and spirits...?




If I might make a list of the male/female books that authors have jammed into this list for the page-views:
"Surprisingly Supernatural" by S.J. Drum
"Moonwarriors" by Rusty Nugent.
"Neverdark" by C.S. Einfeld
"The Book of Shadows" by James Reese
"Neophyte" and "The Wiccan Diaries" by T.D. McMichael
"Lazarus Cane" by Jeremy Kline
"The Nightlife: Las Vegas" by Travis Luedke
"Echoes of The Past" by Alex Just
"Blood Lies" by Blakely Chorpenning
"Tethered" by Brandi Leigh Hall
"Fae" by C.J. Abedi
Sorry to any librarians in advance. Alas for goodreads and its ability for anyone to add but hardly anyone to retract.
EDIT: no librarians yet - but more Rusty Nugent books.

If I might make a list of the male/female books ..."
I've removed not f/f books: Neverdark, Moonwarriors, Guardians of the Night, The Book of Shadows, The Wiccan Diaries, The Nightlife: Las Vegas. Other books were not on the list. Apparently they had already been removed.

For not being lesbian;
"Holidays in Hell" by Erzabet Bishop,
"Don't Be a Hero" by Chris Strange,
"Lion" by D.S. Sage,
"Flesh and Blood" by Kristen Painter
For having no paranormal/fantasy elements:
Red Light by J.D. Glass (lesbian romance);
The Girls From Alcyone by Cary Caffrey (lesbian Science Fiction); Punk and Zen by J.D. Glass (lesbian romance);
Afterglow by Stein Willard (lesbian Science Fiction);
Her Master's Courtesan by Lily White (lesbian ...erotica?)
If someone could help me out by telling me if these books have lesbian main characters I would be grateful:
"Fire" (Graceling Realm #2) by Kristin Cashore
"Song of the Mourning Dove: Fairy Tales" by Victoria Champion
"Blood Oranges" by Kathleen Tierney,

"The Reapers" (The Hunted, #1) by Ali Winters
"Army Of The Winter Court" by Ali Winters


Case for removing them: Thaumatology #1 is ranked quite highly, and I can't imagine someone reading book #11 without looking at #1 first. The purpose would be to bring more diversity to the main scroll, and to prevent "vote gaming."
Cons: removing books from lists is not something to go about doing without consulting the users first.

I say no, since other series have books that are not the first of the series on the first page. If you want to remove everything except book#1, then you should do that for every series, not just this particular one (and then the list description can be edited to say users should only add book #1 in a series).
