Recs if you like Bloom...
a (ongoing) sapphic masterlist! (600+ books!)
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!

Southern Gothic Fiction
A selection of contemporary Southern Gothic titles exploring the decay, despair, and trauma of the reconstructed American South. Come for the palpably atmospheric settings and descriptions, stay for the literary commentary on the legacy of the South's oft-romanticized past.
As a note: I did not include the most well known writers in the genre, e.g. Truman Capote, Harper Lee, William Faulkner, etc. as the list is more focused on the resurgence of Southern Gothic in contemporary literature.

sick day: easy reads for when youβre low on spoons
Itβs a cruel irony that taking a sick day means being at home with nothing to do, but very little brain power with which to read.
Enter this list, a collection of books from various genres that donβt require too much brain power but are still GOOD. Accessible prose, storylines that arenβt overly convoluted, and often short chapters or frequent break points. And of course, easy to pick back up after dozing off!
Suggestions welcome!
