#booksky
I just finished House of Monstrous Women by Daphne Fama and I'm obsessed. It's Filipino gothic folk horror in all it's creepy glory (and it's sapphic!!) Out August 12th! #booksky
finished Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab (my first 5 โญ๏ธ read in two months)

the tagline has been toxic lesbian vampire and whew ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ is that accurate

anddd for better or worse i would for sure be exactly like Lottie soโ€ฆmuch to think about
my local indie romance store hosted protest sign making with all the materials you could want, i love the SD book community ๐Ÿ’— #booksky #nokings
oh oh i loved this so much if youโ€™re looking for an existential read that may leave you slightly confused about the nature of time but so confident in the power of love (sapphic of course) #booksky
iโ€™m so obsessed with everything Emily Austin writes
sapphic pride stack ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿฝ

happy pride month yโ€™all #booksky
i hate when a book is just shy of 500 pages,,, you couldnโ€™t have written 9 more pages so that storygraph would log it in the 500+ category ๐Ÿ˜ญ
a stack of sapphic book mail was waiting for me when i got home today ๐Ÿฅฐ

โœ๏ธ Learning Curves by Rachel Lacey (contemporary romance - out September 2nd)
๐Ÿ”ฅ House of Dusk by Deva Fagan (fantasy - out August 26th)
๐ŸŒŠ The Woman from the Waves by Roslyn Sinclair (fantasy - out June 5th)

a sapphic medieval horror fever dream of a book and iโ€™m totally hooked so far #booksky
Review of A Treachery of Swans by A.B. Poranek, a sapphic Swan Lake Reimagining out June 24th (4.5/5โญ๏ธ)

#SimonTeenInfluencer #ATreacheryOfSwans #booksky
itโ€™s the worst!! the one i was reading was tracking to be a 4.5 but got downgraded to the 3s ๐Ÿ˜”
when a book is soo good for a majority of the story but they fumble the ending and ruin everything rip
needed a palette cleanser and picked up an arc of Nobody in Particular by Sophie Gonzalez (a ya sapphic royals romance) and iโ€™m obsessed

alllll the sapphic yearning and angst of forbidden love you could want out on June 3rd! #booksky
i didnโ€™t mind frontier but yeah idolfire just didnโ€™t do it for me i feel like no one earned their ending and i felt always on the precipice of feeling something but it never went there ๐Ÿ˜ญ
my april reading wrap-up (all sapphic books of course ๐Ÿ˜‡)

some highs (Harrow was confusing and amazing) and lows (Idolfire had sooo much potential rip) #booksky
well it will have to because i am broke now ๐Ÿ˜‚ there was a book crawl at 14 of my cityโ€™s local indie bookstores and i bought at least one thing from each place sooo
my book haul from today is so excessive i am officially on a book buying ban
sometimes you need a sapphic gothic horror monster romance novella you can read in under two hours #booksky

Happy Lesbian Visibility Week to my two visible lesbians, Signey Soto and Elara Vincent, from the Divine Traitors duology!

i'm not going to lie, it's pretty bold to write and publish an AU of your own characters so i have no choice but to respect it

anyone nostalgic for more Sutton and Charlotte, Midnight Rain is a sweet second chance romance set in a universe where they did not reconcile at the end of Those Who Wait ๐Ÿ™Š
it's late but I just finished My Darling Dreadful Thing by Johanna van Veen and I'm just so smitten with it, if you're in the mood for sapphic romantic gothic horror #booksky

i've never been the same after watching The Haunting of Bly Manor in 2020 and this filled that void in my heart
my reading update is that i finished harrow the ninth last night and it was so very good i think my brain is still digesting everything
#bookmail and itโ€™s a heartwarming sapphic ya romance about working through religious trauma and discovering yourself featuring multiracial mcs AND itโ€™s a debut from the queen of audio book narration Natalie Naudus
