“Love you too, Alex Blackwood,” she says, and it’s all the things I never knew an “I love you” could be, meaning me exactly as I am, without a single condition.

Some Alex and Molly fan art, from the book “She gets the girl”. 🌸

I've been reading a lot of sapphic romance books as always and a lot of the time they feature a relationship between a bi woman and a lesbian woman and I'm just so confused on why the word lesbian is never used 😭

#LIKE IN REAL LIFE LESBIANS DO IN FACT CALL THEMSELVES LESBIANS #UNLABLED AND SIMPLY QUEER WOMEN EXIST AND ARE VALID BUT WHY THE FUCK IS EVERY MAJOR LESBIAN ROMANXE AUTHOR AFRAID TO USE THE WORD #bookblr #wlw #lesbian #sapphic #bisexual #astrid parker doesn't fail #she gets the girl #one last stop #iris kelly doesn’t date

it's international lesbian day and since im ill and just sitting here reading, have some of my fav lesbian book recommendations!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Short History of Queer Women by Kirsty Loehr

Starting with a non-fiction one, this tells the stories of many lesbians and other sapphics from history and is really interesting and, at points, hilarious

Our Wives Under The Sea by Julia Armfield

This is my current favourite book, I read it recently for a book club and just fell in love. It tells the story of Leah, a marine scientist who went on a deep sea mission that went horribly wrong and is now acting very strangely, and her wife Miri. It is a dual pov, with Miri's chapters following her trying to figure out what is happening to Leah post-mission return, and Leah's chapters following the events that happened on the mission itself. The strange supernatural body horror is part terrifying part intriguing and the love story is so tender and devoted, and the writing style is absolutely GORGEOUS.

Afterlove by Tanya Byrne

In the similar realm of lesbian supernatural fiction, this is probably one of my all time favourite books. The first half is a sweet first-love romance between teenagers Ash and Poppy in Brighton, but when Ash dies on New Year's Eve and becomes a grim reaper, she can't forget what she and Poppy had, even if it means giving them only a few more days together.

Cinderella is Dead by Kalynn Bayron

A lesbian retelling of Cinderella, this book follows Sophia, who grew up hearing the fairytale and is now about to be sent to the royal ball for choosing, where her life may be forfeit if she isn't chosen by a man. Sophia doesn't want to be chosen at all, and she fears the girl she loves will be chosen and they will have to part.

She Gets The Girl by Rachael Lippincott and Alyson Derrick

I read this book while I was on holiday and loved it. It's a YA romcom which follows two perspectives:, Alex, a headstrong flirty lesbian who knows how to get girls but struggles to keep them, and Molly, who is very awkward and doesn't know how to go about talking to Cora, the girl she's completely in love with. When their paths cross at college, Alex begins helping Molly talk to Cora in an attempt to prove to her ex that she can be serious about romance, but as their plans progress, their feelings may have changed and they could be instead falling for each other.

Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo

This is the book I'm currently reading but I'm putting it on here anyway because I love it already. Set in Chinatown in 1954, with Red-Scare paranoia and deportation looming over her father, seventeen year old Lily Hu risks everything once she meets Kathleen Miller and the two fall in love at a lesbian bar called the Telegraph Club

We always talk about book boyfriends but what about book girlfriends? The lack of discourse on book girlfriends is honestly disappointing.

"I've never met someone like you."

"What, awkward? Anxious? Socially inept?" I ask, helping to fill in the blank.

"Good. You're just... good, Molly," she replies, looking down at me beside her.

book blurbs!! hell yes 💖

I’ve only been an editor for a hot second, so while other editors might be like “ho hum, a blurb from a NYT bestselling author? just another day at the office” -- I am screaming, crying, etc. I am starstruck! 

It is pretty freaking cool that YA authors I love to read have nice things to say about a book I edited. And it’s really fun to get to email these blurbs to the author (Jessica Mary Best!) and be like “hey! that’s you!! they’re talking about your writing!!!” 

So that’s my unsolicited perspective on the whole thing. Without further ado, some praise for Stars, Hide Your Fires by Jessica Mary Best: 

"With lush worldbuilding, high stakes, and a page turning mystery, STARS, HIDE YOUR FIRES is impossible to put down. Brilliantly crafted and delightfully fast-paced."—Rachael Lippincott, coauthor of SHE GETS THE GIRL

"A delightfully, mischievous adventure full of intrigue, betrayal, and a touch of romance. Get ready to join your new favorite rebel crew." —Dahlia Adler, author of COOL FOR THE SUMMER

"A delightful and gripping space mystery with twists and more twists; a charming and unlikely detective team; an adorable, banter-y romance; and an extravagant sci-fi ball!"—Vanessa Len, author of ONLY A MONSTER

And if “queer Knives Out in space” sounds like your jam, then consider: pre-ordering Stars, Hide Your Fires by Jessica Mary Best. Pre-orders are really important for the success of a book -- they signal to buyer accounts, booksellers, etc that this is a book they should be paying attention to. So if you do end up pre-ordering or requesting the book at your local library, thanks! I appreciate you.

It was both a great and terrible idea to put up all my sapphic books in a row to stare judgingly at me while I write. Great inspiration, great inadequacy.
