For me:

Shifting Gears chapter 16 (first strap scene)

Truth and Measure chapter 51 (Vivian's dirty talk 🥵)

I'm gagging to quit my job and solo travel for a while but need to save up for a few more months. In the meantime, travel vlogs just aren't cutting it for me! Does anyone have any recs for sapphic books that focus on backpacking (as in staying in hostels, visiting attractions and stuff rather than remote wilderness hiking) or solo travel, ie either travelling as a couple, or meeting someone during the trip?

I'm currently listening to Every Step She Takes and it's already scratching that itch for me but I always listen at work so I know I'll breeze through this in a couple of days and will need more!!

I'm not fussy if it has steamy scenes or not, although if it's ONLY steamy I'll have to pass since I still need to get some work done while listening 😂

Hi there,

I'm looking for good books with F/F relationships (spice more than welcome) that are set in space (ships, planets, earth even, fights and whatnot). I do love the Mass Effect and Starfield universe (anyone who would find me a book with a character like Andreja would be my new best friend). Preferably 2 fems and no aliens 👽

I'd prefer something scientifically plausible and logic, morally ambiguous, with deep character traits and personality, something good to read regardless of the romance part. In terms of style I LOVE sarcasm and zero-fucks-given writings like Georgette Kaplan. I also love Lee Winters and G. Benson, if that helps.

Anyway, thanks a lot!

Hi, I wanted to give her a book for her birthday so I thought you could give me some ideas :)

She reads a lot and has a variety of interests.

Here are some books she enjoyed:

-The Traitor Baru Cormorant

-The locked tomb series

-The space between worlds

-Into the drowning deep

-Some desperate glory

I think she likes deeper topics, also social criticism etc. :)

I would appreciate if you have some new ideas. Thanks!

I'm looking for the title. I like fantasy, and badass lesbians, so I want both. Is there any badass fantasy sapphic novels you'd recommend? (Little to no smut, please; I don't like that).

I’m about to start reading the book, but is there any cheating involved? I really don’t enjoy love stories that start because of cheating issues

Just started the audiobook and I don’t know if I’m ready for this. Anyone want to join me on this journey?

Self-explanatory title. I want to get angry.

Think Harrow from Gideon's perspective at the very start of Gideon the Ninth.

Some examples:
The Luminous Dead by Caitlin Starling (Sci-fi cave-delving horror)
Shadow of the Knife by Jane Fletcher (Crime and mystery set on a medieval-like world populated by only women)
The Last Woman on Earth by Bex Benjamin (Post apocalypse survival)
The Bloodborn Dragon by J.C Rycroft (Low-magic fantasy set in Fantasy-Australia)
Alone by E.J Noyes (Psychological suspense with a bit of mystery. I will keep shilling this book til the day I die!)

I saw that Bloom Town Genesis is getting re-released with a new cover. I love the new cover but I had also grown particularly attached to the old one and really want a copy with the original cover but am seeing that they've pulled it everywhere in preparation for the re-release.

I've even checked Ebay and haven't seen anything!

Hello! I’m debating reading From Hell, With Love by Bryce Oakley. One a scale of 1 🔥 to 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 how spicy is it. I’m in a smut phase, so I’m looking for something spicy. No fade to black. Gimme explicit. Thanks!!

Granted, I haven’t read every sapphic book that contains smut in existence, much less every sapphic book that exists, I definitely can concede that point.

It just feels like from the few that I read that does have smut, it’s kinda vanilla *for my own personal tastes*. Nothing wrong with fingering and oral and scissoring, but I do like my smut to be much more nasty (but like, in a good way) It got me thinking, though, why don’t sapphic smut books use adult toys more frequently?

If y’all do now if any books like these, please don’t hesitate to recommend me any. Thanks!

Hey y’all! I absolutely loved the Disney fairy books as a kid, and was so sad that the books they’re writing now are straight romances. First of all, some of those fairies are definitely gay (I’m looking at you, Fawn) and why can’t we tell their stories?? Also, I was hoping they’d just be stories with no romance because that’s always how the pixie hollow books have been.

I just saw that a sequel to the first book is coming out and would love to read a sapphic fairy romance instead. I haven’t been able to find literally any unfortunately :(

I need some actual books with a lot of smut and not so much…other plot. Everything else is boring and I’ve read basically everything, so any reccomendations of books (possibly on kindle unlimited?) are appreciated!! :D

I’ve been watching a lot of the conjuring and I was wondering if yall had any recommendations that give off the same vibes? I’ve already read my darling dreadful thing already so that’s off the table too

​Hey everyone,

​I just finished The Safekeep and I am genuinely devastated. Don't get me wrong, the book is absolutely captivating; the atmosphere, the tension, the prose, everything was incredible. But I feel like there’s this massive, aching hole in my heart now and I don't know how to move past it.

​I was so deeply invested in Isabel and Eva. That "bubble phase" they had in the middle of the book where they just couldn't stay away from each other? It was pure oxygen. But it felt so fleeting. Even when they were together, it was in secret, with this constant cloud of impending doom and uncertainty hanging over them. Louis was still an obstacle, they were literally counting down the days they had left, and it only lasted a few weeks before the twist happened, the angst hit, and they were torn apart.

​By the time we get the final confrontation and they actually choose each other, we only get the tiniest, briefest glimpse into their actual life together. I wanted so badly to see them just exist in their love you know building a life, cuddling, talking, and being domestic without the world ending around them, even if it was just for one full chapter.

​I’m desperate for a book that gives me that exact same feeling as The Safekeep. I want something serious, atmospheric, and high-stakes where the two women are completely obsessed with each other and become each other's entire world. But please, I need it to actually check the box of them having more moments together. I want the desperate physical touch, the pillow talk, the caressing, and the soft domesticity in the middle of a serious story, without leaving me feeling this empty at the end.

​Ideally looking for femme/femme dynamics, no massive 20+ year age gaps, and a guaranteed happy ending where we actually get to see them enjoy each other.

​Has anyone found a cure for this specific post-Safekeep depression? Please help!

I’m in a desire for for some time traveling lesbian romance in my life. Any good ones out there???
