First stab at this post brings us 390 sapphic releases for the first half of 2024, which here are split into genres like last year to make your next read easier to find! This is all I really have to say about the post itself because it feels very strange to me to be going about business as usual in the midst of a genocide (which, by the by, several Western countries are now enabling even more than they already were by withholding aid to UNRWA, based on the dubious claims by the occupying state that 12 of its members (0.04%!) were involved in the events of 7th October. Collective punishment, anyone?). So, let me get this message in before the post proper to say: keep watching Palestine and Gaza. Keep contacting your politicians, keep protesting, keep boycotting, keep talking about it all! From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!
Looking for last year’s? Find them here and here!
And hey, a lot of these titles are (or will be) available on Everand (previously Scribd), so if you want to check out that service but don’t have an account yet, use my invite code to get 2 months for free! (This also gives me one free month.)

Please note, this list excludes titles from St. Martin’s Press and its imprint, Wednesday Books. This is because SMP are subject to a boycott due to anti-Palestinian racism from one of their employees, and their own subsequent inaction to counter it. Until the point that they take action, we will not be including their titles on our lists (or, in the event that we have inadvertently done so, we will be flagging those titles) as part of the boycott. For more detail info, head to Readers for Accountability.
Please note: we have removed titles by Freydís Moon after on discovering they’re a pseudonym for Taylor B. Barton/Taylor Brooke who was accused of racism, bullying, & pretending to be Latine a few years back.
