 💃 Sapphic Love Recommendations

The Lady's Guide to Celestial Mechanics: Feminine Pursuits

As Lucy Muchelney watches her ex-lover's sham of a wedding, she wishes herself anywhere else. It isn't until she finds a letter from the Countess of Moth, looking for someone to translate a groundbreaking French astronomy text, that she knows where to go. Showing up at the Countess' London home, she hoped to find a challenge, not a woman who takes her breath away.

The Fiancée Farce

Gemma needs a wife to meet the terms of her grandfather's will and Tansy needs money to save her struggling bookstore. A marriage could be mutually beneficial, if they can fool everyone into thinking it's a love match. Unexpected sparks fly as Tansy and Gemma play the role of affectionate fiancées, and suddenly the line between convenient arrangement and real feelings begins to blur.

Outdrawn

Comic artists Sage and Noah have to work as a team — or, at least appear to work as a team. They thought the hardest part of the relaunch would be drawing together. But that’s easy in comparison to resisting their feelings for each other.

A Little Light Mischief: A Turner Novella

Lady’s maid Molly can’t take her eyes off her employer’s companion, Alice. When an unwelcome specter from Alice’s past shows up unexpectedly at a house party, Molly volunteers to help the only way she knows how: with a little bit of mischief.

Blood on the Tide

Vampire Lizzie is looking for stolen family heirlooms and a portal home. Selkie Maeve starts an uneasy partnership with her to recover what’s lost. Even though she knows it will end in heartbreak, Maeve can’t help being drawn to Lizzie and her all-too-pleasurable vampire bite.

Iris Kelly Doesn’t Date

Iris goes to a bar in Portland and meets a sexy stranger, Stefania, and a night of dancing and making out turns into the worst one-night stand Iris has had in her life. To get her mind off everything, Iris tries out for the lead role in a local play, a queer retelling of Much Ado About Nothing, but comes face-to-face with Stefania, whose real name turns out to be Stevie. Desperate to save face in front of her friends, Stevie asks Iris to play along as her girlfriend.

The 7-10 Split

Ava is pretty sure she has every reason to hate Grace. Especially when the school’s soggy potato of a principal announces—finally—that the students can have the bowling team Ava has been pushing for, for years…only to hand it to Grace. Now they’re expected to be partners and lead their new bowling team to victory in six months.

Don’t Want You Like a Best Friend

Gwen to hatch her latest scheme: rather than surrender debutante Beth to courtship, they should set up Gwen’s father and Beth’s newly widowed mother. Let them get married instead. There’s just…one, teeny, tiny problem. Their parents kind of seem to hate each other.

  • Authors are investing in book promotion. Publishers aren’t giving authors as much marketing support as they need, so authors are augmenting it out of their own pockets.

  • Some people are mad at Bridgerton. Many comments on Shonda Rhimes’ and Julia Quinn’s Instagram posts are vile. Alanna Bennett does a great job at breaking down the queer backlash.
