Can you think of any sapphic books where the main character falls in love with a female historical figure? It can be any kind of scenario, alternate history, time travel, reincarnation, it can be two historical figures falling for each other, or one falling for an original character, as long as there is an historical figure who is in a sapphic romance.

I've read Orpheus Girl and the Love and Lies of Ruksana Ali.

This week’s Sapphic Book Bingo category features books with sapphic main characters over 50.

In many sapphic books (and books in general), the characters are in their 20s and 30s, but sapphic joy and love doesn’t have an age limit, so I made "characters over 50" one of the categories in this year's reading challenge.

You'll find a few book recommendations on my website:

I've stuck with fiction my whole life. The only non fiction I've read are Chicken Soup for the Soul and 7 Best Things Smart Teens Do. are latter was nice because I'm interested in psychology. I want to try getting into lesbian non fiction.

I really want to read some ice queen books but recently I haven't seen many books released of this trope. I really love iq books by Lee Winter, M McKay, R Sinclair. Please recommend some recent releases.

Can you think of any lesbian romance books about where one or more of the characters has an unusual job? Such as a professional cuddler or a dildo factory manager?

I read the first book in the series that was basically The Devil Wears Prada’s Miranda and Andy (with changes of course). I enjoyed it way more than I thought and will eventually finish the second book.

I don’t read fantasy but am open to contemporary romance. Smut is ok and welcome.

Hello! Recently I read half of wives under de sea thinking it had mermaids 🫠🫠

So now I’m craving a romance with a mermaid, I would appreciate all your recommendations! Thank you so much 💕

Can anyone help me identify this book and/or author? As you can see I remember many details but not the ones I need to look it up! Driving me insane!

What I remember:

One MC is pop star who after a live-streamed failed proposal runs away to her beach house. She is famous but misses her roots and the freedoms of being less well known (like not having to do things only for sales). Burnt out.

The other MC is living at home after mental health issues caused her to drop out of college for musical composition. Composing is still sometimes triggering for her. Parents worry.

Her mom owns a landscaping company and she starts working there. She has an autistic brother who is also musical. When walking in the beach with her brother he ends up wondering into the pop star’s house and starts playing her piano. That’s how they meet.

Then the pop-star hires the mom’s landscaping
company to work at her house. Composer is assigned to her and her brother even helps with the tile pattern of the walkway. The MCs end up making music and an album together.

The composer’s family is super loving and even invites pop-star to the large family gathering in the park (includes a bonfire with singing around it).

The composer is named after her famous grandfather (or some other older relative) who was also a composer.

Any hint would be appreciated! Thanks!

12 Spooky books, by humans, no Ai. Stack those TBRs with human goodness this woman loving Halloween season <3

Thank you Natalie Bergman for bringing together this fantastic event to lead us not only into Sapphic September but into Spooky Season as well!

*kelpy's Oct post :) I am one of the highlighted books, but this was a very cool event Natalie put on to help give dark Sapphic books more visibility. If you all don't know she won a Goldie Award this year for her book! My debut was a runner up.

Can you think of any books that have lesbians making out and dating and doing the usual sapphic stuff, but are also surprisingly educational? Like, not only do you get lesbians, you also learn something about math and science or whatever (but not exclusively and science).

"Megan (Natasha Lyonne) considers herself a typical American girl. She excels in school and cheerleading, and she has a handsome football-playing boyfriend, even though she isn't that crazy about him. So she's stunned when her parents decide she's gay and send her to True Directions, a boot camp meant to alter her sexual orientation. While there, Megan meets a rebellious and unashamed teen lesbian, Graham (Clea DuVall). Though Megan still feels confused, she starts to have feelings for Graham." - Google

Can you think of any books that feel like what could've happened to Megan after she is disowned by her parents and runs away with her new girlfriend Graham? Would her parents take her back? Does she go back to her old high school? What would her old friends think? Would they ever consider apologizing? I didn't think about this until now, but I would also accept book recommendations that feel like what could've happened if Megan never got sent to conversion therapy.

Hi im looking for a relatively short good loser lesbian and homophobic or heavily closeted 'popular girl book

"A story in which the characters we know are seen in a reality that's somehow different, often disturbingly so. If they can access multiple alternative universes at the same time, that's The Multiverse. One of the more common sub-tropes of Another Dimension, and the perfect playground for "what if" scenarios that don't exist in our universe." - TV Tropes

Can you think of any books where a character travels to an alternate universe and finds lesbian love, or maybe a sapphic book that has a what-if scenario, or any kind of book that has alternate universes and lesbian?

Opposites attract in this contemporary, sweet, sapphic romance about two girls who reluctantly come together for a summer challenge.

Heaven and Saylor could not be more different. Saylor is bubbly, popular, athletic, and always partnered up. Heaven is grumpy and artistic, prefers her skateboard to people, and has never dated anyone. So no one would believe they’d agree to spend the entire summer together.

Yet, that’s exactly what happened. When Saylor Ford breaks her arm at Basketball camp, distracted by her mom’s internet fame discussing Saylor’s newfound sexuality, she becomes determined not to spend the summer stuck at home with the woman. Her one saving grace is a girl she’s pretty sure can’t stand her but that she finds absolutely irresistible. Heaven Goo-Campbell. Thankfully, Heaven is willing to let Saylor in on her Summer Bingo challenge, but for a price. Saylor has to help Heaven establish a social media page showcasing her art for her future career as a tattoo artist.

They didn’t plan on the intimacy of spending each day together and the deepening feelings that followed. Soon, they become something more than a shared project. But can the girls even have a future together when Saylor is wary of bringing their relationship out into the light—too afraid that her mom’s status as a popular influencer will give Saylor and timid Heaven more attention than they can handle?

I'm hosting a weekly giveaway of a sapphic book, and this week, fellow author Sage L Mattison is generously giving away an ebook copy of her high-heat, low-angst sapphic fantasy romance "Tied up in Her Demon Goddess."

Here's what the book is about:

In the Crimson Reaches, a fenceline dispute between a demon single mother and a demon/ogre wrangler will change their lives forever…

Jo wants to build a fence on a shared property line with her neighbor Perri. Perri wants to spend more time with Jo. When Perri impulsively decides that refusing Jo’s request is the best way to get Jo’s attention, the pair find there’s more to the tension simmering between them than the dispute over a fenceline.

Are there any books that are combinations of two or more pre-existing stories? You know like for example Romeo and Juliet + Cinderella to make Romeo and Cinderella (this is a made-up example, I don't know if it actually exists, it doesn't exclusively have to be this). And it has to be explicitly stated or made clear that the story is a fusion of two or more pre-existing stories, I'm not looking for books that "kinda feel like X meets Y", cause a lot of stories could be described as "blank meets blank", I'd prefer it if the author made it clear that the story they wrote is a combination of X, Y, and Z.

Preferably a fluffy book with Young-New adult age range, though every recommendation is more then welcome!
Thanks!!<3
