Danika lately wrote a beautiful article about sapphic Yah and its diverse manifestations. She mentioned that one of the factors she enjoys reading sapphic Hey is because there are a lot less sapphic works to choose from in grown-up light. As someone who reads more mature light than YA lit, and whose checking lifestyle revolves around gay publications, I'm just here to let you know that there are a lot of amazing sapphic novels available for adults. Appearance, I won't go against the great Danika, who runs the likewise amazing Lesbrary, and whose sapphic publication understanding is unquestionably superior to mine.
I'm not saying that adult sapphic lit is as plentiful as I'd like it to be. It certainly isn't. However, over the past few years, I have read a ton of fantastic sapphic novels. I didn't even wade into the waters of the speculative. ) Additionally, I omitted a few historical favorites from my list of recommendations because I wanted to concentrate on contemporary books: Cantoras by Carolina De Robertis, The Pull of the Stars by Emma Donoghue, and Stray City by Chelsey Johnson. In fact, there are so many that I couldn't put them all on this list of 20. I'm staring at my bookshelf right now, and several sapphic books are staring back at me, wondering why they didn't make the cut: Justine by Forsyth Harmon, Fiebre Tropical by Juliana Delgado Lopera, and Amora by Natalia Borges Polesso. ( Answer: I haven't read them yet! )
I'm also looking forward to reading all the upcoming sapphic books! Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead by Emily R. Austin ( 7/6 ), Skye Falling by Mia McKenzie ( 7/27 ), and Radiant Fugitives by Nawaaz Ahmed ( 8/3 ) to name just a few.
I tried to include as many different types of sapphic experiences and lives as possible when compiling this list. These women ( hi, hello, it's me, I see you ) feature lesbians, bi+women, and queer women who don't identify as bi or lesbians. They're written by and feature cis and trans women. Some have happy endings, while others don't. Both queer and human suffering are present. Some are about bi+ women in relationships with men. Some are about happy relationships, while others are about toxic ones. Some types of romance are present, but none. They're about parenting, friendship, grief, work, family, art, illness, and navigating identity. There are heartwarming stories, heartache, and most importantly, a lot of beautiful, messy life.
