Any favourite sapphic books / authors?
I like reading sapphic literature. I'm currently reading a book by Clare Ashton - definitely one of my favourite sapphic authors. She writes tension SO exquisitely 😮💨

Delilah Green Doesn't Care by Ashley Herring Blake. A little cliché but kinda nice. If you prefer reading something more chill.
Another one is Girls Like Girls by Hayley Kiyoko, a 2024 book based on the 2015 music video, super nostalgic. The whole time I was reading it, I kept remembering the song. Written and sung by Hayley Kiyoko, by the way! Speaking of which, have you seen the music video? Or at least heard the song?
I've seen the video but haven't read the book yet. It's definitely impressionable because I haven't watched it in years but I can still remember it. I think they're making a series adaptation of it? Hayley is a producer
I'm 95% sure you've already read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, but in case you haven't, here's a recommendation
I have yeah. Evelyn and Celia - sobbing 😭
The Stars and The Blackness Between Them. I tend to seek out sapphic people of color authors because they are so underrated. I went on a journey with this book my first deployment in the navy a few years ago. Highly recommend!
Thank you for the recommendation. "this is how we lose the time war" and "she who became the sun" are two of my favourite sapphic books by people of colour if you haven't read them yet, I recommend it. The first book is a little unconventional, but I liked it 😊
Julia Armfield "Our Wives Under the Sea" almost sent me to an institution. Devastating. Beautiful. Devastating.
I just finished Sunburn by Chloe Howarth. A LOT of tears were shed. Adding our wives under the sea to my reading list. Thank you for the recommendation
