Hello everyone!

So as a newly outed lesbian, I wanted to make a post about how I want more sapphic book recommendations. I have ST Gibsons vampire books to read and three other lesbian books I want to read for Pride, and I want to get late bloomer as well but I wouldn’t mind getting other book recommendations! Even lesbian/bi/ sapphic history books are welcome as well! I’m a huge book worm and I just feel like there’s a lack of w/w/sapphic content sometimes so give me some recommendations!

You keep smiling as everything has finally worked out, and I'm terrified that it's the truth. Terrified we won't have long, I want to grab your hand and run before fate finds us. Before they know what breaths I take and can't afford to pay back. There's that goddamn laughter again, and I feel it in my skin. It feels so careless and natural that I almost lose my cool. You must know something I don't. I promised myself I would remain solitary, that love could not flow through me so deeply anymore. You're making fun of my fear. I instantly look around and pull my hand from yours. But you snicker as you shake your head. Two fingers twirl underneath my chin as you bring your lips onto mine without hesitation. So much purpose. I've never been kissed like this. It's not the first time I've kissed a woman.

LESBIAN GIRLGROUP PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR NOVEL INCOMING FEB 21 BABY

After much forewarning, my sophomore novel AMBROSIA is officially gonna hit us on the 21st of February 2025.

AMBROSIA follows a superstar and second-most-lucrative-member-of-her-girl-group from the point where she's Katya, a grossly ambitious teenager clawing her way through a pseudo-dystopian celebrity training program, to the peak of her career, where she's lost herself in the big diva persona of Ambrosia, bleeding from her nose more than is usual, and hiding a breakdown-induced shaved head from the world.

AMBROSIA is a seven-year-long story of management-dictated shower times, performance-enhancing drugs, and ill-advised affairs with beloved and behated group-mates, told in increments by a semi-reliable narrator over the span of only the one fateful day where a life in service of being looked at finally translates into clawing out eyes.

That is all to say it is now PREORDERABLE - both in ebook and paperback - wherever you get your books from! (If you want to cop a paperback from evil overlord Amazon and it's listed as unavailable on your regional evil overlord storefront, try the US one.)

And ALSO you can read ahead on the first couple chapters for free right HERE.

Thank you for your support and thank you, once again, @shalida for this incredible cover.

The Cradle of Eternal Night by Ladz, illus. by Pom Poison

FINAL PROOF CAME IN. This book is finally everything I dreamed for it, and it's so strange the tangible feeling of finished I experienced as soon as I hit "enable global distribution."

I've ordered the stock for my itch site. If you want a copy signed by me and @pompoison, make sure you reserve a copy today. I ship to the US, Canada, and the EU. Cost includes the shipping.

Reserve yours today, synopsis below the cut

In a land lit only by the counterfeit warmth of magical technology, the Kler prays for the return of the sun, the moons, and the stars. Ceaseless night and the beasts lurking in the darkness keep the congregation within the Kolebka Wiecznej Nocy trapped in mirthless vigil. Their towns remain quiet as graveyards as they wait for day to come again. What no one knows about this ceaseless night is that the Kler themselves can end it. But they haven’t, and they won’t.

Long ago, the Kler banished the sun worshipers, but a heretical sect made the journey back to the land of darkness. Now, only one remains carrying their purpose heavy on her shoulders: a maverick technomancer named Basia. She alone will bring back the light, or no one will.

Armed with naught but her own cleverness and a sword imbued with sun-embraced charms, she searches for the Kler’s secrets and finds herself in Tawerna. With the Kler on her heels, she infiltrates a private feast and catches Hanka, a docile bard, in the middle of planning her own escape into the world beyond. Hanka wants nothing to do with the heretical outsider until she discovers that her purpose aligns with the darkness buried inside herself. Hanka knows the secrets the Kler keeps, and she knows just where to go to expose their lies.

With only each other and their heretical magic to rely on, Basia and Hanka face the eternal night and wonder, are they truly enough to bring light back to the world?

It's been a while since I've posted about book recommendations so I created one, specifically for June ✨️ Creating this queer graphic novel and maga list makes me want to reread them despite having a massive tbr this month already 😆

Anyway, I call this list "𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚍 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚖 𝚒𝚏 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚠𝚊𝚗𝚝 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚎𝚡𝚌𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐, 𝚏𝚞𝚗, 𝚊𝚗𝚐𝚜𝚝𝚢, 𝚏𝚛𝚞𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐, 𝚌𝚞𝚝𝚎, 𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚏𝚎𝚕𝚝, 𝚏𝚞𝚕𝚏𝚒𝚕𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚠𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚌𝚔 𝚘𝚗 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚊 𝚕𝚘𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎🤚🏽."

Not gonna lie. That was what I felt when reading these mangas and graphic novels ♥️

I don't see them that much here on booksta and thought, why not post about these gems ✨️ I would say these are some of my top tier list that I have yet to see here on booksta so I'm sharing these here ✨️

P.S. Had these checked, all are clean 👌

I have to admit, this one has not a lot on "The Priory of the Orange Tree" Though when it is comes to LGBT, this one was way better. And PS: I do believe Fýredel is more of the main character than Nameless One, dude is on the cover of both books. He has also been able awaken when the nameless one couldn't. Oh whatever. I like him though.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: The action really does portray this book as a prequel which also made me realise a lot of time had passed before book 1's timeline. In Book 1, it is Sabran the Ninth. In this book, it is the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh, Glorian's daughter. Like every fantasy book with dragons, there is bound to be fire and roasted bodies. And there was loads of action with those fire-breathing wyrms. I was saddened to love it all but those scenes are like candy when reading books about dragons.

𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗘𝗥 𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗬 𝗛𝗢𝗟𝗗: I do believe the South won this time. In Priory, it was the West. Mainly because this is where the 𝐬𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐜 story was. And I am all about the sapphic life, so yes.

𝗦𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵: 𝗧𝘂𝗻𝘂𝘃𝗮: 50 year old ray of sunshine that was also a badass warrior who loved wholeheartedly. She was a deep character. Her wife, Esbar was also definitely something to behold. The way Tuva and Esbar loved each other and their children, it was awesome. Tuva's son, Wulf finally realising that Thrit loved him. Wulf was bisexual and I think Thrit was gay. Though Wulf and Thrit were in the north. Canthe, that bitch that almost ruined a love blessed by The Mother.

𝗪𝗲𝘀𝘁: 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻: The West did have a tight story because at some point there were 3 generations of Berethnet and that very intriguing. Though I do believe Glorian was overrated. Her relationship with her parents was interesting though. Her mom was a total ice queen and her father was such a sunshine overdose but with killer instincts. It was rather adorable how he (King Bardholt) devotedly loved Sabran VI the Ambitious. These even had nicknames for one another despite the toxic environment they were in. I have a feeling Glorian was 𝙖𝙨𝙚𝙭𝙪𝙖𝙡 but that scene when she spied on her parents that was just nasty. A little heartbreaking in the beginning but nasty in the end. Like girl, what the fuck?

𝗘𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗗𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗶: She was 𝐬𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐜. I definitely didn't like her woman but I liked that she was sapphic. Though, this side was slight the down-side of the book. Yes, it did have some intriguing parts with the non-fire breathing dragons and I think that dragon (Nayimathun) from Priory was also here as well (That old bastard). I feel like the name was familiar.. The east wasn't so popular with me even in Priory.

𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿'𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲: I really enjoyed this book. A lot of scenes had me screaming and cursing but all in all, it was a joyful ride. I can't wait for more, if there will be.

“I want to get to a place where I’m ready for you,” I whisper. “Just get to a place where you know how wonderful you are,” she whispers back. “They’re one and the same.” She Drives Me Crazy by Kelly Quindlen was everything I could have asked for and more. It was a fun, wholesome sapphic teen romance with an engaging plot and interesting characters who were imperfect and messy but loveable and easy to root for. The story is set in a suburban high school with the main character Scottie, a basketball player, navigating her struggle to deal with the rejection of her ex-girlfriend and her own feelings of self-worth in relation to how others view her, while circumstances put her in the path of the girl she considers her nemesis, or so she thought, until she is forced to reckon with her own presumptions and prejudices. I liked how character-focused the narrative was and how much the characters' decisions (both good and bad) led the plot.The teenage characters were portrayed with both realism and empathy. The main character, in particular, made several ill-advised decisions that costs her heavily which came from a place of pain, confusion and insecurity that is both relatable and understandable. The best part was that the author makes her characters earn them redemption, sometimes even at the cost of the characters' comfort to the point that as I reader, there were moments I wondered what kind of ending her story would have. 4/5 🌟 and full review on #goodreads #bookreview #kellyquindlen #shedrivesmecrazy #teenromance #sapphicbooks #highschoolromance #yaromance #queerya #queerreads #wholesome #oppositesattract #enemiestolovers #fakedating #highschoolbasketball #cheerleading #characterdevelopment #yafiction #kindlebooks #bookstagram #bookblogger #bookreviewer https://www.instagram.com/p/CnjqqcsrTQT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is one of my favorite moments between Mora and Kell in book two of the Diabolic Romance series. I love everything about the minxy king and her wicked witch wife.

@/vo0kley.art did a fantastic job bringing this scene to life! Loved working together on this project.

I did it. I wrote and published a *second* book. *screams*
