  • Spear

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Already loved the book then I listened to it and loved it more then I looked at her site and I was lost.

  • The Girls Like Girls Trifecta

    Hayley Kiyoko delivers song, video, and book. Is there some EGOT equivalent for this?

  • That Summer Feeling

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – This book wrecks me every time I read it. In a good way? You’ll find it charming and lovely and funny and swoony, I promise.

  • Sapphic Reads: My favorites

    This post is a little different. These are my favorites. I’m going to list them, give them a capsule review, and link them to a longer review, but really, you should just go read them.

  • Set the Record Straight

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Or, wtf?! Did Hannah Bonam-Young write this book just for me? I unabashedly loved this book. Prepare yourself for gushing.

  • Sapphic Reads: Science Fiction

    I used to be a really big science fiction fan. When I started reading exclusively wlw books, I leaned hard into romance, and away from sci-fi. But some books manage to do both.

  • Sapphic Reads: Holigay

    “Holigay” is a term I picked up from Autostraddle. These are Sapphic books that take place during the holiday season, and include a lot of fake dating, for some reason? And Christmas tree farms.

  • Sapphic Reads: Arthuriana

    I’m a fan of King Arthur stories, but they’re always about the doomed love triangle, which only includes one woman, canonically. You can imagine my joy when I found Sapphic books with Arthurian ties. Fortunately, some of them are pretty good!

  • Come As You Are

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Come As You Are by Dr. Emily Nagoski was the best book I’ve read in a while, not just in 2020. I recommend it to every woman I know, and anybody who has sex with women, or wants to.

  • Nothing to See Here

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson. I love the writing, the characters, the over-the-top premise (it’s about a young woman who becomes nanny to two children who spontaneously combust). It’s whimsical, fierce, and telling, and the language is masterful.
