Welcome to The Lesbian Review’s list of 100 Best Lesbian Books To Start With. This list will introduce you to new authors and the books that we recommend you start with.
In most cases the books we have chosen are a good representation of an author’s body of work, rather than her most outstanding novel. This list is filled with books we enjoyed and recommend so don’t be shy to give them each a read.
As lesbian fiction grows, so it becomes easier to get complacent with certain authors as your only source of reading material. This is not only frustrating because you wait for them to come out with brand new books, but it can also mean that your reading list feels repetitive. And with so many fantastic authors there is no reason not to explore (even beyond these books).
A special thanks go to the team who helped me put together this list. It took a few months to iron out not only who we would be showcasing but how we would be showcasing them and which books to recommend. If your favourite author isn’t listed below, please forgive us. Each reviewer
recommended books from their go-to authors, and we regret only that we couldn’t feature every
woman who’s writing amazing lesbian fiction. Also a hug to Anna who came up with the original idea for the list.
