Sapphic books in Kobo Plus. Depicted is an ebook reader and a pair of wireless earbuds.

Lately, readers looking for sapphic fiction beyond Amazon have asked me for a list of sapphic books in Kobo Plus. As far as I know, no such list existed, so I decided to create one.

You can now find it on my blog:

“It’s not a badge of honor to have my creative work denigrated as obscene, especially when that work is about queer people and people of color. It’s offensive to have my work mischaracterized this way.” — Malinda Lo

Some people think getting your books banned is a badge of honor, but it’s not. As I told Ms. Mag: “It’s not a badge of honor to have my creative work denigrated as obscene, especially when that work is about queer people and people of color. It’s offensive to have my work mischaracterized this way.”

Telegraph Club Considered for Possible Statewide Ban in South Carolina — Malinda Lo I recently learned that my novel Last Night at the Telegraph Club , along with nine other books, has been challenged at the state level in South Carolina.

My novel Last Night at the Telegraph Club and 9 more books are under review for a statewide ban in South Carolina. There will be a hearing tomorrow 3/13. I'm not optimistic that LNATTC will survive this challenge, but it's still possible. Context here: www.malindalo.com/blog/2025/3/...

Hold the damn line on this, authors. I have dozens of books I can't turn into audio right now because I can't afford to pay a narrator, but I WILL NOT use AI to circumvent them.

Where to buy sapphic books directly from authors and publishers. Shown is a shopping card full of books in all colors of the Pride flag

I put together a list of sapphic publishers and authors who sell books directly to readers.

Note: This list is meant to give readers more option; it's not a call for a blanket boycott of Amazon since that would mean boycotting many indie authors.

Shown is the cover of Bachelorette Number 12 by Jae--a doctor and a nurse in scrubs, with their backs to each other--surrounded by arrows and the words: ice queen, medical romance, infamous Twinkie scene, opposites-attract, enemies to lovers, and the most lesbian date ever.

Quick reminder for readers in the UK: Today is the last day Bachelorette Number Twelve is on sale for £0.99 at Amazon.

In my latest sapphic romance, a kind ER nurse accidentally wins a date with a prickly doctor at a singles auction.
