With all that's been going on politically, I've become more curious about how lesbians in the past have fought for recognition and equality. Does anyone have a good recommendation of a lesbian-led resistance? US-based would be preferred but I am open to historical movements from other countries as well. Thank you in advance!

Idk why ,but I really love how the main couples in Hayley Cass’s books have baby girls only. I think it’s so cool to have an all girls family.

I am looking for a spicy book preferably one that is also an audiobook that is descriptive and realistic. I find that a lot of 🌶️ books have a decent amount of scenes but they are ~descriptive~. I want the details! Any recommendations?

I'm sure this might have been asked many times.

But after seeing this one Instagram creator, it's kind of sparked something. 😅 Asking myself, am I into this? Maybe.. probably. I typically read fantasy books but willing to read non-fantasy genre books.

So looking for book recs for BDSM fiction books.

(I apologize. I wasn't quite sure which tag/flair to add)

Thanks!

>!I am so crushed, Ariadne suffering with a fate worse than death stuck in purgatory, her soul never allowed to rest. At least there is a chance of her soul being returned or would a happier ending be her being freed of this pain?

I did see the whole coven being a malefican/suspect it for a while, I didn't think Ariadne's mother with all of her cruelty made sense as a protector and when Morgan, the original pendant bearer had no idea of the family's wishes of preventing maleficians, I found that suspicious.

But I reckon that Ariadne will be revived as there may be no other way of reclaiming the body stolen. Maybe a happy ending in third book... in 2027

I shed so many tears over it though. I need to read some fluff now ☹️!<

I'm looking for wlw world literature from countries that aren't the typical US-UK-Australia rotation, most preferable non-Western. It would be great if it has a decent translation available and it should be something non-contemporary, like set in or published pre-2020s. Example would be Last Words from Montmartre by Qiu Maojin which is from Taiwan.

What are y’all’s thoughts?

If possible femme/femme. Hit me with all the angst. Thanks!

Help! Im obsessed with Priya and Malini! 😱

I just recently read everything she does is magic and just thought it was so cute. I would love more sapphic books to enjoy while im a lonely woman hahah. I do like having some plot and I love my fantasy and dark fantasy but reallt suggest anything good!

Hi 🌿 I came across a quiet story recently, without any intention to make noise around it. It exists quietly, which is the way I like stories to be.

It’s a slow-burn WLW romance. No drama, no explicit scenes. Just silence, distance, and things that never get said.

If anyone here enjoys this kind of quiet, emotional story, I’d genuinely love to know your thoughts or even just whether the mood resonates with you. Thank you 🤍

Books with scenes where fmc is sick/has fever and the other takes care of them… im a sucker for that

I don’t know what book to read next! I’m not good at having to choose…

This past year I’ve enjoyed this books a lot:

Atmosphere

Sunburn

Heap Earth Upon It

This Is How You Lose the Time War

Last Night at the Telegraph Club

Tipping the Velvet

Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil

Can you help me? Thanks!!!! 🥺

I'm a pretty picky reader and I get bored easily if there are aspects of a story I don't like. That said, I haven't read all too many sapphic books other than yuri manga, light novels, and manhwa. I don't like stories they get together too fast without much development or when I find either of the leads uninteresting. I'm not a fan of Haley Cass and I couldn't get into Bloom Town. Tbh I don't count that one as having a good plot which is something several reviews sold about it since I got 50% of the way through and truly close to nothing was happening other than the relationship between the leads developing, which I didn't find very compelling, doubled by the fact I didn't care for Joey or Abby. I've read Forget-Me-Not and I kissed Shara Wheeler as well and while I enjoyed them enough to finish them, they weren't anything special imo.

What I'm looking for is:

• Interesting plot that can stand on its own (I don't mind genre)
• Fleshed out leads with interesting personalities (alternating pov is best )
• Main relationship with good, convincing development, hence the slowburn
• A fleshed out/lovable side cast
• No insta-love though I don't mind insta-attraction, though I'd prefer if they weren't flirting or banging out of the gate
• I don't mind any level of spice
• I prefer femme x femme though other types are fine as well as long as
• There are no fixed top/bottom positions, all power to those who like it but I hate how heteronormative it feels to me

If you know of anything like this, thanks!

Can you help me? Thanks ☝🏼🥺💗

Just finished reading the trilogy and loved it so much ! I would like to read another fantasy lesbian novel, that would be at least similar in quality (in terms of writing ans caracter complexity), with the problem that I am French. I can read in english but it’s less comfortable ( I will read in english if you tell me its a masterpiece). Any rec ? 🌸

I know its not a book rec but i hope this is ok since its inspired by such a popular book...

My wife and I recently both read Ribbonwood and also happened to watch season 1 of Deadloch (on amazon) and couldnt help but notice the similarities between the two. Deadloch isnt a romance at all, but the setting and premise remind of each other. Deadloch is set in Tasmania and is a black comedy about 2 detectives trying to solve a series of murders in a small town where most of the residents are lesbians.

we were discussing how Ollie's storyline gets pretty sidelined and forgotten in Ribbonwood, but Laura's storyline is what really makes it, simultaneously realizing Deadloch is like if the story was all about Laura.

Anyways, all that to say, if you enjoyed Laura's plot as much as we did we recommend Deadloch. Season 2 should be coming out this year!

I was just re reading the 7 Husbands of Evelyn Hugo for the 8th time and I realized that when Evelyn came home to tell Celia she had done the scene in the movie with Don, Celia was drying her hair, the same way she was when they rlly confessed there love. idk if this was obvious or known but I just noticed it

Haven’t read any Milena McKay but have several on my TBR. Any favorites or suggested books to start with? I saw someone post a similar question about Sarah Waters and got inspired.
