one second to forever is a sapphic fantasy and it was pretty good! It wasn’t super well written but it was very entertaining and fun to read. Oh and it’s not fantasy but every exquisite thing is absolutely amazing, it’s a dark academia wlw thriller/horror and it was literally just so good

the spirit bares its teeth by andrew joseph white omg it’s absolutely amazing it’s my favorite book ever (currently reading it for the fourth time…)

Don't Let The Forest In and Hazelthron are so good, both are written by the same author ans the way they write yearning, love, and obsession leaves you with so many feelings.

this is how you lose the time war is always great (i think it’s sci-fi/fantasy)
a treachery of swans by ab poranak (sapphic swan lake)
gwen and art are not in love
and legend of the white snake
(nimona if you are in a graphic novel mood)
hope this helps <3

THIS IS MY TIME: (all are sapphic & fantasy!)

gideon the ninth by tamsyn muir (also sci-fi)
malice by heather walter
crier’s war by nina varela (also sci-fi/dystopian)
an education in malice by s.t. gibson (also thriller)
the jasmine throne by tasha suri
the isle in the silver sea by tasha suri
fable for the end of the world by ava reid (also dystopian)
the incandescent by emily tesh
faebound by saara el-arifi (two main ships, only one is sapphic)
little thieves by margaret owen (sapphic ship is side ship, but main ship is a-spec!)
a treachery of swans by a.b. poronek (on my tbr)

My recommendations might technically be science fiction, so I hope that’s ok. I read The Dead of Summer by Ryan la Sala (he also writes a lot of other queer horror books) that was good and I heard that They Both Die at the End was good too.

i second the jasmine throne by tasha suri!

the characters in a treachery of swans were so badly written i gave that 2 stars, it was all over the place. it's the only one ive read but it's supposed to be a retelling of swan lake (it wasnt really).

The only one I have read is Don’t let the forest in but I loved it!

priory of the orange tree, gideon the ninth!
