Special issue #11 I’m gonna be real with you, fam. I do not have a ton of time, energy, or brain power to write a special newsletter for this month. I’ve got too much to do...

Cover of paperback book of Her Name in the Sky by Kelly Quindlen

Refreshed edition of Her Name In The Sky by Kelly Quindlen arrived in the post. I think I'll read this once I finish my current ebook.

Her Name In The Sky is a sapphic young adult novel. It'll probably wreck you before you'll heal.

I read the original version a couple of years ago. 🌈📚

If you are getting tired of the winter Olympics, give this basketball romance a chance! You don't have to know basketball to read it.

I'd love to see this book as an audiobook and I look forward reading more stories by the author in the future.

The slow burn is delicious. There's quality spice but the main focus is in the chemistry between the main characters and building the relationship. Hald Court Shot is the type of romance I really like.

4.25⭐ The cover art is 🔥🤌🏼

In this slooooow burn sapphic romance, Danny and Perry will have a second chance after reuniting at work. Danny is a star basketball player with colourful relationship history. Perry is a career oriented future franchise owner. Danny transfers to play for Perry's dad's team in NJ.

I read a wlw sports romance debut by Kimani Mae. I got to read Half Court Shot in advance.

I really liked writing style and pacing of the book. I was impressed, not every debut is this well-honed. It was really enjoyable, relatively light and sweet read. There's diverse cast of side characters. 🌈📚

I got the audiobook yesterday. It'll probably be my next or one after that listen.

Thank you @mchutsonauthor.bsky.social for the copy if Slow Cooked Feelings and the cute stickers!

I beta read for this sapphic romance last fall. I look forward reading the final version. MC told me it's very different from the beta version. 🌈📚

Don't miss this tender, hopeful sapphic romance about how fate is what you’re given but love is what you choose, and how small sparks can change everything.

My current read is Half Court Shot by Kimani Mae (ARC)

I'm really liking this sapphic romance set around basketball so far. The book is out on 9th of Feb.

Today’s the day, sports fans! Out of Our League is now out in paperback *and* audiobook, and @jennifercarolyn.bsky.social and I are so excited that this glorious collection is now more accessible in every way. www.dahliaadler.com/out-of-our-l...

It's a sapphic romance novel about Colby and Josie who briefly met at the end of book 2.

The book is standalone so you don't have to read books 1 and 2 first. They both are worth checking out, tho'!

I recently finished reading ARC of I Will Always Love You (Maybe) by Dana Hawkins.

I really enjoyed reading the 3rd and final (AFAIK) part in the Meet Cute in Minnesota series by @dhawkinsauthor.bsky.social.

Brooke Takes Queen by Alaina Erdell

It's a sapphic romance about a single parent and a career oriented ice queen who inherits the holiday resort the other woman is managing.

The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun is being made into a movie! That's exciting. The MM romance is so sweet. I don't usually read MM romances. The Charm Offensive is one of the few I've read.

Nik Dodani will play Dev. He's just nerdy enough for the role.

I'm annoyed at myself a bit regarding Ask, Tell. I have listened to it _at least_ twice before. Goodreads and Storygraph have only one logged read for it. Damn it. *cries in data anxiety*

Current (re)listen: Ask, Tell by E.J. Noyes. I'm going to listen to Ask Me Again and If I Don't Ask and soon, too. I listened to Jana's book, If the Shoe Fits, in December. 📚🌈

I kind of forgot Bluesky for a bit. I'll be more active so plenty of sapphic romance posts coming in the near future!

😍😍

This pup skates better than me when I tried it (with a longboard) 10 years ago.

Happy audiobook release date, Ribbonwood and @rubylanders.bsky.social!

I can't wait for Audible UK to wake up and add my preorder to my library. 😍

Sapphic romance 🌈📚💙🌈

I'm gonna start the audiobook of Ramona Riley after I finish my current listen. What are your thoughts on the book so far?

Amazing recommendation for Discovering Nicola 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Queerly Recommended is a really super podcast to follow for sapphic media commentary and recommendations! 🌈📚 #sapphicromance #romancelandia

Recommendations on sapphic romance that is Audible exclusive?

I know there are tons of options on Audible but which are your *favorites*?

🌈📚 💙📚

Nothing too serious, no romantasy, paranormal or dark romance, thank you very much. Something similar to these:

What did you think of it? I've listened to the audiobook and bought and read paperback later. I think it's underappreciated. Just because the setting is MF dating show, it's not less of a sapphic romance.

I'm currently having way too many options for the next read. And I'm looking only at the most recent purchases. (We are ignoring all the couple of hundred ebooks bought earlier, waiting to be read...)

Which one would you pick out of these sapphic romances? 🌈📚 💙🌈
