What's with the book covers being super cringe and cartoon like? I know we shouldn't just a book by it's cover but it totally puts me off buying one 😭 it makes me think its for teenagers

Anyone know of something set in a realistic-ish world (could be heightened, but either way not particularly fantastical) with the A-Plot being a sort of romantic comedy-drama (or something along those lines) where one of the FMCs is a bit avoidant to being "known"?

But the more the other FMC tries to get to know her in a more intimate way, the more it drifts/morphs into cosmic horror territory as things don't match up and starts casting a sinister and/or terrifying light on the avoidant FMC.

Could result in whatever way, but preferably still with a sincere core and the world for the most part realistic-ish (even if the core* of the avoidant FMC turns out to be some celestial being or eldritch abomination).

*Maybe the avoidant FMC doesn't even fully know about or understand this aspect of herself.

Sorry if this is too specific lol

Trying to find a specific one to re read,main bit I remember was the MC wakes up thinking she's still straight and in a relationship with a man. Fairly sure she's got young daughter but might be a step mother situation.

It isn't Forgot me not by Shae Paris (tho that is good) or Forget Me Not by Alyson Derrick (which is a glorious emotional jerker)

just finished reading ‘we used to live here’ by marcus kliewer and wow. i highly recommend, the main character is in a sapphic relationship and that’s one of the reasons i picked it up but also it’s very spooky, has a lot of psychological horror elements, kinda insane tbh ngl. messes with your head but really well written and a book i’m gonna be thinking about for a while holy crap. recommend if you like horror/thriller type books, especially with a sapphic twist

Hi,

I'm looking everywhere for a comic set up on an ucronian englad that has a couple of girls as the main protagonist. The style is an interesting combination of victorian fashion and punk style... I do not recall the name and I really want to give it a try again.

Can somebody help me on this one? Thank you in advance

Hi everyone! I've just finished reading the Teixcalaan series and I am in love. Anyone else out there? I've had a look around and I'm surprised it doesn't have a larger fandom. The worldbuilding is top notch, the characters complex, the intercultural interaction masterfully described. I just wish Three Seagrass and Mahit had just sat down and talked. But perhaps that doesn't make for a tension-filled plot...

Also, who else picked out a Teixcalaani name?😆

Not exactly a sapphic requirement, but myself (F32) and my best friend (F40, that I'm super into) have both been through it with controlling and emotionally abusive husbands. I struggle with jealousy, I'm sure due to a bad childhood and subsequent bad partners, blah blah, point is, I don't want to project that on her, whether as my friend or my partner. During this time of singlehood, I'd really like to work on myself and heal from some of my past so I can be a better partner in the future, whether to her or someone else. I'm doing this for me because I want to be in a healthy relationship and that means I have to be healthy. I know I need a therapist but I live smack in the Bible belt in a small rural town which is fairly homophobic. I will not be talking to any therapist here. But I'm fairly intelligent and have come a long way just by reading self help books. I've never read one that focuses on a WLW relationship, always hetero relationships. If anyone has any good suggestions on WLW relationship advice books, I'd love to hear them. Thank yall!

Any book recs that are sapphic and have a mafia/mob background or storyline ? Thanks :)

Hi everyone!

(Mods please remove if not allowed)

I am looking for beta readers for my in progress histoical gothic novel that I'm hoping to submit to the Lucy Cavendish prize.

If you are a fan of:

Sarah Waters

Bury our Bones in the Midnight Soil

Dowry of Blood

House of Hunger

Then please consider giving it a read!

Book clubs, poetry, literature, art, and community.

Is there a book (or shorter) focusing on some kind of romance, comedy, and/or drama between an über-powerful woman with godlike powers and a woman with no (or only very little) fantastical aspects?

But the ridiculous amount of power is (narratively—other character opinions is a different question) is for the most part treated in a more "magical realism" "unremarkable", way, not generally putting it in the spotlight.

Or is otherwise not the centre of the story.

Hopefully that makes sense lol.

I'm dreading the cold months coming and the warm weather leaving so I wanted some books to help me feel more 'into' the seasons. Also would appreciate if it was written why it feels like autumn or winter.

Hey everyone!

I posted sometime last month our first cover for this book and it got a decent response.

The campaign is finally live and I wanted to show off this new cove from Stacey Lee! This is my first sapphic comic and I'm really excited to be bringing it to life.

Synopsis

In her quiet bookstore, Madeline sheltered the children the crown wanted gone. She always tried to keep her head down. She never meant to fall in love. Least of all, with the leader of the rebellion, trapped away in a magic tower.

Siora's revolution ended in chains. Captured and sentenced to solitary confinement in a lonely tower, she had all but given up until Madeline's first letters arrived. Now, with only days of freedom left, she's found love. But is it already too late?

I hope you'll check out the campaign. Thank you!

Recap: I requested books that will absorb me and I will forget I am on a plane and some spice yesterday. I got some awesome recommendations, some that I plan to read later. Now I am stuck between these 2 books so please vote for me 🙏 ❤️.

THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE!

I can’t post polls on r/LesbianBookClub 😢

These are all the lesbian books I know of on Audible Plus that I haven't listened to. All but two of them are getting removed. Usually, much like streaming services, books get cycled through the plus catalogue. They'll remove some books, but add others. I've been using audible plus for a year now and am used to how it works.

What I'm seeing now is nothing like it is usually. I don't know how other genres are doing, if this is just a product of them reducing the overall plus catalogue. But the entire lesbian genre is getting gutted. I'm trying to listen to all these titles as fast as I can. Once October 21st comes around, I'll likely end my subscription.

I can't find any information about this online and I can't find anyone else talking about it, except one person who brought up the removal of Jae books specifically.

I obviously can't tell Amazon not to do this. I just want to know that I'm not crazy. What is happening here? Did I miss something? I'm just confused right now.

And yes, my first name is Juliet. I think it's a beautiful name!

Love sapphic stories but can't fully get into Romance genre. This is nothing against the genre but the last few books I've tried just dont fully click for me which is weird cause I'm a huge fan of manga and love a bunch of romance stories there. With novels my focus is usually on Science fiction and fantasy though so I'm looking for recs that kind of bridge that gap.

Some examples of what I have read and enjoyed: This Is How You Lose the Time War, Gideon/Harrow the Ninth, He Who Drowned the World, She drives me crazy.

Compared to romance books I've tried but didn't finish: Nobody in Particular, Those Who Wait.

Nothing against the books I didn't finish, just that they didn't keep me engaged enough to see them through (though it might in part be to having listened to them rather than read). Dont mention sequels to the books I listed tho as ofc they're on my radar or tbr but I wanna listen to some audio books and those are physical lol.

Though I mentioned SFF, really any genre works whether Romance, Horror, Lit Fic. Just want something with a plot and preferably a bit of yearning. Femme or masc characters are equally loved, I dont mind most tropes other than insta love, some spice is okay.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Do you love reading sapphic books? Feel like talking about them at least once a month? Want to be buried in an insurmountable pile of free sapphic ebooks? Join the Lesbrary!

I am looking for more reviewers at the Lesbrary! You just have to commit to submitting a review, list, or essay about sapphic books once a month. In return, you get forwarded all of the sapphic ebooks sent to us for possible review. You also get access to the Lesbrary Edelweiss and Netgalley accounts, where you can request not-yet-released queer titles.

I’m looking particularly for more reviewers of color, disabled reviewers, and trans reviewers, but anyone who regularly reads sapphic books is welcome!

If you’re interested in joining the Lesbrary, send me an email at danikaellis at gmail with an example of a book review you’ve written. (It doesn’t have to have been published/posted anywhere before.) We’d love to have you on board!

Hey! Exactly as the title says. I prefer fantasy and I like my books spicy if possible. But I really hate flying so I want a book that really sucks you in, maybe even think about for days or weeks afterwards. So I am okay if it is not fantasy as long as it sucks me in. I currently am reading The Stolen Kingdom and will be done by my flight and I DTA Woman in the Waves.

Extra points if it is also a good audio book.

THANK YOU ALL. ❤️

Getting back into reading recently and I picked up "Don't Want You Like a Best Friend" by Emma R. Alban. I've suggested it on other posts because honestly, I'm hooked! But I would really love more sapphic/lesbian book recommendations. I'm in the middle of a move and nothing sounds nicer than queer romance with tea once everything settles down.

I love slow burns, enemies to lovers, "fake marriage" or "fake arrangement" stuff, and princess/knight type relationships.

If y'all have any recommendations with transfem or non-binary representation, that would be awesome! I would love to be able to share these books with my girlfriend. ^{-^}

As the title says, I'm looking for sapphic monster romance books with a happy ending.

If they are based on dungeons and dragons like Legends and Lattes, extra points
