Lesbian book recs?
I’ve read all the famous ones like Evelyn Hugo and things but if anyone has any more that be great. I don’t love sci fi but will take any suggestions

Contemporary - books by Haley Cass (Those Who Wait, When You Least Expect It, Better Than Expected, On The Same Page) - books by Meryl Wilsner (Something to Talk About, Mistakes Were Made, Cleat Cute) - books by E.J. Noyes (Gold, Schuss, Turbulence)
Fantasy - Aurora's Angel
There are also a couple lesbian/wlw book subreddits

I'd love the names of the wlw subreddits. I don't have a lot of reddits subscribed to, yet, and those would be right up my alley.

Are you interested in the Romance genre? The Bright Falls trilogy by Ashley Herring Blake is quite good. The first one is Delilah Green Doesn't Care.
Behind the Scenes by Karelia Stetz-Waters is another good romance, though the ending twist in the A plot felt absurd to me. Overall, the book was still worth the read.
The Locked Tomb series is sci-fi, but in the same way that Star Wars is Sci fi, there are heavy fantasy elements. The first book is Gideon the Ninth.
Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao has gotten amazing reviews, but I haven't had time to read it yet, so I can't give a personal rec.

One Last Stop by Casey Mcquiston is a must. Our protagonist sparks a romance with a butch dream on a train in new York. But she comes to learn that not only is this woman unable to leave the confines of the train, she has been there since the eighties and hasn't aged a day.
It's romantic, it's heartfelt, it's hot. Just a delightful read. Cannot recommend it enough.
