[Rayne]

If you could suggest your favorite wlw books, I'd appreciate it! I'd also like a short summary on the type of book it is!

[afton]

sunburn by chloe howarth, perfume and pain by anna dorn, last night at the telegraph club by Malinda Lo!

[Tierney]

I LOVED Roslyn Sinclair's Carlisle series:


And Jen Lyon's The Senator's wife trilogy


Both are slowburn romances with super-interesting MCs and interesting stories.

Also, most by Jae and by Rachel Lacey :)

I just finished Bachelorette Number 12 as an audiobook on HOOPLA and it is hands down my new favorite book. It was so cute and funny!

[VIVI ★]

this is how you lose the time war - sci fi lesbian book, two rivals from different factions who exchange letters throughout time and fall in love

[Livi 💜(semi inactive, not accepting frq)]

The priory of the orange tree by Samantha Shannon is one of my top 3 favorite books of all time, can’t recommend it enough

[Hunter Athena]

Lucky Red by Claudia Cravens is without a doubt one of the best sapphic books I’ve ever read. Her writing is absolutely incredible and draws you in to this world so beautifully. I often found myself thinking about the story and the characters when I wasn’t reading. However I will warn you it is a western novel and very much falls into “old westerns” category where it is not a happily ever after but still has a really good ending that sets the book up for a potential sequel.

SUNBURN by chloe michelle hogarth
i think i saw this in the comments but it’s an amazing book

[Kayla]

When Women Were Warriors by Catherine Wilson is probably one of my fave WLW books. This was the series that got me back into reading again. I read the entire thing in a couple days.
Tipping the Velvet by Sarah Waters is also an all time fave. It’s a historical romance. Big fan.

[yonoping]

i love scifi/fantasy lesbians so my fav is gideon the ninth!

[yonoping]

oh and a description! it's about lesbian necromancers in space, some fantasy elements, some sci-fi. also a bit mystery/gothic. it's part of the locked tomb series. it's the kind of book that can be confusing but when you finally put things together it's jaw dropping. definitely rewarding to read it twice. and the fourth book is supposed to come out this year.

Anything by Haley Cass

[Claire]

Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg!

[Kie]

“How You Get The Girl” by Anita Kelly!
It’s about a former WNBA star who was traumatized by the court and a high school basketball coach (who used to be a fan of said former WNBA star.)

This book is truly my Roman Empire, I think about it at least once an hour and I read the book a year ago!😅

[Lenore ⸆⸉]

Wish you weren’t here by Erin Baldwin

[Angie]

Carmilla by Sheridan le Fanu. It’s basically the sapphic version of dracula! It was actually written before Dracula.

[maria *ੈ✩‧₊˚]

Colorblind by siera maley such a sweet book!!

[Ava]

afterlove by tanya byrne

[Itzel]

hearing red / lesbian and dystopian

[Itzel]

bitterthorn was really good too

[Erin]

One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston! I didn't read the full sinopsis before reading it and I think that made me like it more. Also She Gets the Girl by Rachael Lippincott and The Miseducation of Cameron Post by Emily M. Danforth

[LynannReads_SapphicBooks]

Bloom Town Genesis (Followed by Boom Town Exodus) Ally North- these books kept me up until early morning trying to finish them. So many different emotions. Ugh- I wish I could reread for the first time!

[CC]

Anything by Anna Burke

[Gill]

So many good recos above, such a tough question..Im gonna say anything by Lee Winter. The plots always have a bit of a thriller aspect to the romance and her characters are tenacious.

[Jessi]

The Girl Who Saved Me 😍

[Gaby]

This is how you lose the time war 🤍

[Loreee]

Jeremy Lachlan This guy is writing a teenage series called The Jane Doe Chronicles, by far my favorite

[Frances]

I just finished The Flight Risk by Macon Leigh as it has instantly shot to all time favorite status. I could not put it down despite the tears it helped make. An amazing book about the red thread of fate.

[Autumn]

Forgotten Gods series by Marie Rutkoski
Blue series by Marisa Billions
The Devil's Plaything series by Persephone Black
Blood Moon Trilogy by Axelle Law (french)

All are dark sapphic romances. If you are sensitive to triggers, reading discretion is advised.

[shreya]

Belladonna by Anbara Salam (its so underrated, wished more ppl read it :))

[Diana]
