Pride Alphabet continues with L for Lesbian! For my picks, I went with lesser known titles as opposed to the big ones (Carol, Fingersmith, Ash, etc) which are pretty standard “must reads” for anyone looking for f/f.

Previous Rec Lists: {A for Asexual+Aromantic | B for Bisexual | G for Genderqueer | G for Gay | I for Intersex} {POC 1 | POC 2}

Top 3 (Uncommon) Picks: 

The Dark Wife by S.E. Diemer Sassy Summary: Lesbian retelling of Persephone and Hades with a focus on love and companionship instead of the usual darker/edgier retellings. (And the author has it up for FREE on their site here!)

Rep: Both leading ladies and a secondary lady are all lesbians.

Miranda in Milan by Katherine Duckett Sassy Summary: If you've ever felt that Miranda from Shakespeare's The Tempest was too awesome for where her story went- this is the retelling for you! Exploring Miranda, the place of women, and now her relationship with a woman of color- this Gothic reimagining of Miranda’s tale gives one of Shakespeare’s heroines the love story she deserved.

Rep: Love interest is from Marrakech.

A Study in Honor by Claire O'Dell Sassy Summary: Black. Sapphic. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. In a political thriller in a post Trump-era world. And it's a series with a new book coming out in July!

Rep: Both leads are black lesbians and there are poc amongst the side characters.

The rest of the list:

[astreiants-archive]

because you can never have too many lgbtq+ rec lists right? here's yet another one for your pleasure. i've tried for the most part to include books by lgbtq+ authors (there are some that aren't, i realise, mostly because they were so good i had to include them), and i've also, to the best of my knowledge/memory, put trigger warnings alongside.

criteria for inclusion

happy ending

no bury your gays

lgbtq+ character is the/a main and gets a pov

not harmful representation

lgbtq-ness is not the only plotline - tho there may be argued to be some exceptions to this included. i mean more like, the plot does not revolve around them realising they're gay and having a terrible time of everything before someone (usually straight) tells them they're allowed to be happy or whatever. you know what kind of book i mean.

most importantly (lol) i liked it

p.s. there will be more parts to this, as i read more. if there's one not on here that you think should be, feel free to ask about it. i'll either have not read it or it'll be excluded for one of the reasons above. equally, if there's one on here with bad rep of any sort, let me know and i'll take it off.
