The Sapphic Squad discussion

No spicy recs because am minor

My favorite books typically have some other conflict other than how the mcs end up together but I love all books that are well written :D

I like the following

Weird girl x popular girl trope because of the flexibility of the dynamic and the joy of people sharing their hobbies.

Creature x human, I like big scary monster (NO WEIRD BEASTIALITY UNDERTONES PLEASEEEEEE) {Werewolves and other anthro monsters are a plus}

Weird girl x weirder girl, autism vs evil autism in a nutshell

Shy x Flirty, Me like when girl cute and flustered; me also like confident women

Creature x Creature, Vampire x Werewolf is my fav

Badass x Even Badderass , Hehe violent women r cool and epic

Badass x Passenger princess, She protects her because she loves and cares about her <3

Dark romance done right; Murderer x Serial killer, Cannibal x Chef, ect.

Crow gf x Raccoon gf (aka Rich shiny lover x Poor shiny lover)

Black cat x Golden retriever, Angsty x Unconditional love

Orange cat x Black cat, Kinda stupid x Angsty

Orange cat x Orange cat, Kinda stupid x Kinda stupid

Orange cat x Golden retriever, Kinda stupid x unconditional love





I DON'T like the following

Romantized abuse (they hit me but it was all cool kinda shit)

Family x Family (THIS INCLUDES STEP FAMILY)

Person x animal (ew)

Adult x child (ew)

Victim x Abuser (ew)



Will take any type of book or comic!! (manga, novel, graphic novel, comic book, short stories, collections, ect)

I LOVEEEEE SERIES PLEASE GIVE ME GOOD SERIES I WILL CRY

Books I already read: WOF 13, Adachi and Shumura
Books I have and plan to read: Gearbreaker

"This Is How You Lose the Time War" has badass x even badderass and (kinda) creature x creature! it's an epistolary novel (mostly letters they write to each other) and the prose is quite flowery and lyrical so if that sounds like sth up ur alley i highly recommend it!

Gideon the Ninth has orange cat / black cat, and DEFINITELY weird girl/weirder girl <33 i love them

I recommend the manga:whisper me a love song it's so wholesome and the book Cinderella is dead I recently finished it and I loved it

i recommend the lesbiana's guide to catholic school! it's such a sweet story of MC coming to terms with her sexuality and navigating the issues that can come with that as shes living in a catholic household and going to catholic school. it does deal with some heavy topics so i'd recommend you look those up before reading but imo it's all handled with grace :D the romance is adorable and i was smiling the Entire time reading T_T

The Luis Ortega Survival Club by the same author (Sonora Reyes) is super good--one of my favorite YA books--and has a really sweet romance, but be aware going in that it's a book that deals heavily with sexual assault. I especially love that the MC is autistic and selectively mute, which doesn't get much rep in books.

anything by Alex Nonymus is great! all of his books are sapphic (wlw, nblw or nblnb). my personal favorites of theirs are "dear blake", "fireflies, s'mores and that time I might have kinda accidentally started a faerie war" and "those who ripple" :) all her books are super great tho, you should totally check them out!
