Most of my reading these days is on an ereader, but with how nebulous digital media can be, I do buy "real" copies of books I love.

I wonder if perhaps a certain 1950s friends-to-lovers romance might be found amongst the books on these lists... 😏

There are over 500 sapphic books on sale! Prices range from $0.99 to $4.99. Sales ends November 24.
Does this sale seem earlier than usual? It is! Many organizations are calling for boycotts of Black Friday shopping this year so we moved our sale a week earlier for this reason.

In my WIP, Taylor isn't a full-fledged MC, but she's the only one really hiding a secret. She sustained a couple of injuries in her youth. She'll be open about screwing up her knee playing soccer, but she refuses to talk about her hip injury.

Kendra is generally a little bit meek but fiercely protective of her submissives -- makes a man scream in pain (not in the fun way) for touching Madison.
Madison will square up when needed, but her purple hair, glasses, and non-threatening stature keep her from being scary.

Just finished A Soft Place To Land by @kelseykranz.bsky.social today (on Kindle) and immediately ordered the paperback to add to my physical sapphic collection. Thank you for this beautiful and sexy reminder that lesbian love always has been and always will be stronger than hate.

Here is my most damning indictment of romance as a genre: we are currently living in a time when stalkers, rapists, and murderers are romance MMCs, but I doubt I could name more than 10 books in the whole history of the genre where an FMC has an abortion.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

In my WIP, Kendra tells Madison her millennial nostalgia music is Kelly Clarkson, P!nk, and Rihanna with a secret side of Fall Out Boy.
Madison mostly listens to NPR podcasts.
