We are absolutely loving DON’T WANT YOU LIKE A BEST FRIEND by Emma R. Alban. Review forthcoming in the next week!

Anuja Varghese's CHRYSALIS (2023) is absolutely breath-taking. A must-read for lovers of literary fiction and fantasy. We rated this 5/10 self-effacing violets! [This means it's somewhat safe but not entirely free of triggers!] Our review: savesappho.com/2023/11/06/c... #BookBlogger 🌈📚 #BlogPost

We’re reading Anuja Varghese’s CHRYSALIS and LOVING IT. This is literary fiction at its finest.

DELILAH GREEN DOESN'T CARE (2022) is one of our all-time favorite books! This is another example of a fluffy, safe queer novel. We rated this 2/10 soft, velvety violets! [This means it's SAFE, POSITIVE, & PAIN-FREE!] Check out our review: #BookBlogger 🌈📚 #BlogPost

We proudly present our review of PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE (2019) as an upstanding model of what healthy, beautiful queer content can--& should--look like (to atone for all of TJR's dead queers). We rated this 3/10 soft, breathy violets. Check out our review for CW/TW: #BookBlogger 🌈📚 #BlogPost

To adequately introduce SS, I present our most popular review: Taylor Jenkins Reid's NYT Bestseller THE SEVEN HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO (2017). We rated this a 9/10 "unnecessarily painful violets thrown under the bus." Each review contains content/trigger warnings. #BookBlogger 🌈📚 #BlogPost
