Recs if you like Play You For It: A Novel...

every struggled to find actual lesbian/sapphic books when at the library or bookstore? so did I!

bc of said struggle, I started to curate a personal list of books that either has lesbian MCs and/or featured a primary sapphic romance.

i haven't read all of these, but I do try my diligence in confirming that they meet the above perimeters, since many books claim to be sapphic when they're not. this is an ever updating list, only fiction for now!

Sapphic characters and sports, what could be better?

sunny settings, or books that feel sunny and offer escapism from the winter blues in an eclectic blend of genres.

Editing to add: okay some of these books are SAD, my dudes, just like my seasonal affective disorder. But at the same time, they are soft and kind and a safe place for the big sad, if that makes sense?

The WNBA season has started and while I still don’t know a lot of the technical terms, what I do know is that women’s basketball is sooo gay! I love how many openly lesbian and queer people are in the WNBA and how some of them date each other. I haven’t read most of these books and I am still searching for more, so please give me all of your recommendations!

GO LYNX!!! 😽

Queer books that deserve more attention!!

It's that time of year, when we highlight some of our favorite new voices in romance! This week, we're talking about eight new writers who are making us excited about what's to come in historical, contemporary, cozy fantasy and more. Here's to reading them all for years to come!

There’s something here for everyone — historicals, contemporaries, a splash of magic, princesses, superheroes, time-travel, widows, F1 drivers...a real ideal dinner party roster.

I recently got into sports romances (yes, because of Heated Rivalry) and most of the book recs I've seen are either queer OR by authors of color, so I wanted to make a list with books that are both! Please let me know if there are any I should add.
