i have been informed that sea of ruin is in fact not a sapphic romance😅 so pls ignore me!! if u guys have any sapphic romance recs pls let me know!!

[@cierrahall2527]

She Gets The Girl is one of my tops for sure!!!!

[@anzhelika.online]

People have been raving about Serpentine Valentine so that's what I'd suggest haha

[@gabriellek2581]

pride and prejudice and pittsburgh by rachel lippincott, she drives me crazy by kelly quindlen, this is how you lose the time war by max gladstone & amal el-mohtar, the fiancee farce by aleandria bellefleur, this delicious death by kayla cottingham, our wives under the sea by julia armfield, just might work by katia rose, 6 times we almost kissed (and the one time we did) by tess sharpe

[@theresawambacher9322]

my sapphic recs are afterlove by tanya bryne (my fav!!! and it's sooo underrated), one last stop by casey mcquiston, we are okay by nina lacour, criers war by nina varela and late to the party by kelly quindlen

[@hhbeavery]

What's a sapphic romance?

You need to get the anniversary copy of “A love letter to whiskey”. It has extra things in it that makes the book so much better!

[@bookswithellen]

ooohhh i didn’t know it had extra bits!! maybe i need to look for a secondhand copy!

[@allhailvale]

@@bookswithellenI think the anniversary edition might also be available on kindle unlimited!

The novella she added to the anniversary edition adds an extra pov and it changes the way you think about the entire book! As well as other cool bonus content

Happy Birthday from Long Island, New York! Love your videos and your ideas. I do book clubs and are always looking for new ideas. I love "Darling Venom". It could be considered Dark Romance but it has a lot of other benefits to it. There could be triggers so keep an eye out for that but well worth the read. I hope you like it. Look forward to what comes next from you. Love from New York!
