I haven't been able to read as much as I wanted, but I'm enjoying the pace.

I'm supposed to be team Jade, but I just can't. She's as selfish as her father. Maybe I'm too old for this kind of books.

Maybe the original book makes you feel alienated because you are dumb as rocks, June

It’s been a week since I finished this book and I still can not stop thinking about it😭😭 Gideon and Harrow are in my head constantly help me I still have 3 weeks at the library before I can read the next book ☠️ my brain chemistry has been changed permanently

So excited for this quest! I wanted this to be a collection for both people who've never read a sapphic book and don't know where to start, and also for avid readers of sapphic stories that are looking for more recommendations. Feel free to suggest more books to be added!

Now the real question: what's your favorite sapphic book or one that made a big impact on you?

my mom was heavy into romance when she was my age, then turned to crime and mystery (jo nesbo and squad) and at the end aka now, is only into heavy science fiction (clarke, baxter, den simons, herbert etc) . aunt on the other had, sticked with crime/mystery since forever, funnily enough she cant stand neither sf nor fantasy. and then you have me, who turned to romance and/or fantasy w some exceptions. tried reading some of their favs or reccomended ones ofc, even borrowed some from them yet failed and simply went back to my usual taste.

did ur family's taste in reading have any influence over you? reading the same stuff, enjoying the genres? or it lasted for some time until u discovered something u enjoy more

I love when authors create social media apps, celebrities and shows for their books, instead of just using real life ones. I feel like it's so rare nowadays.

Okay, let's start a game! The rules are pretty simple:

1. Pick a PB user from the comments (or you can use me to make a fresh comment) and check their profile.
2. Look at their "my taste" books on their profile and choose one or more books.
3. Come back and reply back to that comment and tell them which book from their "my taste" you would steal (or read). You can also give a reason.
4. It would be common courtesy for you to tell the person who comments on your comment which book you would steal from them.
5. Make sure you're interacting with other's comments and not just making your own -- that would defeat the purpose of us all playing together!

EXAMPLE: ((User crypt-glitch comments on this post)) Oh! I would steal The Salt Grows Heavy by Cassandra Khaw from you because I LOVE mermaids!! ((User UltraVi replies to crypt-glitch's comment)) I would absolutely steal Earthlings by Sayaka Murata bc I think the hedgehog on the front is a cutie. ((User crypt-glitch then responds to UltraVi)) That's such a good book! I would steal Malice by Heather Walter from you because what's better than a sapphic fairytale retelling???

Okay, cool. Let me know if you have any questions and I will try to respond to every single comment so absolutely no one is left out (but feel free to respond to everyone on the thread!)
