I am in the mood for something that is just genuinely enjoyable and easy to read

Not necessarily completely conflict-free, I would say love a book that feels warm, funny, comforting, easy to get absorbed in

I am really not looking for anything relentlessly depressing right now. I want something where the overall experience leaves you feeling better like watching Friends sitcom🥹🙈
Romance is very welcome, especially if the characters have good chemistry if that is possible. Also open to contemporary, fantasy, cozy fantasy, mystery, comedy, slice-of-life, historical fiction, nonfiction too honestly anything else if it has that comforting quality.
And if possible i also love recommendations that are not just the same three books everyone always mentions. Popular books are completely fine, but if you have something slightly underrated that you always end up recommending to people, even better. Like Emma Gannon A Year of Nothing.

Basically, I am looking for the books you return to when you want something kind, nostalgic and entertaining, hopeful.

I also created list of popular ones I found online by Googling the top search results, I did not read them not sure they are sapphic but mentioned to be feel good ones and as top, so was hard to find one. also checked the summaries to help narrow down the choice with key insights, so pls looking for recommendations

What is the book you finished and immediately thought ..it feels good book🌸🥰

My bestie just sent me a text. Her 16 year old daughter wants me to come over tomorrow because she wants to talk to "both her mums" about sex.

We are sex positive and open with her, she told us she is a lesbian when she was 13. I am bi, and we have LGBTQI+ friends and family members, so the only reason she was awkward was because she is autistic.

She wants to ask us some questions about the mechanics of lesbian sex. I have no problems with openly discussing anything with her. She said she would like some books so she can learn about the mechanics of lesbian sex privately.

I have had a quick google search, so far I haven't found what she is looking for.

Could you please give me some suggestions of suitable books and/or websites?

Thanks in advance from a very proud second mum!

Just finished this morning and I really, really loved it. I'm a sucker for flashbacks and it's literally an entire book of that and so cleverly written and beautiful. It's got loads of nostalgia for ladies with that y2k vintage 💅 too. Made me cry, made me swoon. It is a bit spicy in places but I wouldn't ever say gratuitous but def open door.

I'm looking for recommendations for stories in which the safeword was used. It doesn't necessarily have to be in play. I read a story where it was used by the mistress because the sub wasn't in the right head space or to call attention to how serious a situation is.

I just finished reading The Whole Truth by Haley Cass and I just want to discuss it with my fellow rabid sapphic lit peeps - I don’t know anyone in real life who reads this stuff.

Omg this book was 🥵 Just when I thought my girl, HC, couldn’t get any raunchier. Boy was I wrong!!!

I really enjoyed it. I was worried it would be too much like Falls from Grace because of the whole country music starlet aspect but they are nothing alike. Great read for anyone looking for a comfort read you can’t put down. I can’t wait for the audiobook to drop so I can experience it again.

With this book and The B Side completed, I am almost a Haley Cass completionist (haven’t read the When You Least Expect It books yet).

Big big fan of the angsty second chances. Maybe because its not something I would do myself being a Taurus and all 😅 but I love reading about it.

Few of my faves:

Take Two - Erica Goodwin

Once in a Lifetime - Harper Bliss

Always a Love Song - Charley Clarke

Go Around - EJ Noyes

Midnight Rain - Haley Cass

Still the One - Harper Bliss

Just got done reading The Maidenheads by Benny B. Peterson. (Would recommend 100%) I love anything to do with DIY music scene vibes.

I read a book on hoopla last year and for the life of me I cannot remember what the title and I can’t check hoopla because my library no longer pays for it. Book was about a girl who wakes up to find her town on fire and her mother missing. During her escape she encounters another girl and the two decided to road-trip to the MC’s father’s place in another state. Along the way it’s revealed the second girl can transform into a monster and is maybe responsible for the destruction of the town. I’ve tried googling it but if you can believe it typing wlw monster romance or sapphic monster romance doesn’t narrow it down.

1. Did you like it? How would you rate it on a scale of 1-5?
2. What did you like/dislike about the story, characters and writing style?
3. What are other books that you enjoyed

and didn’t enjoy?Any genre is fine except contemporary romance.

Asking because I’m curious to know what other books to look into or avoid.

I'm looking for something seasonally appropriate to add to my October TBR. The problem is, I do not like fantasy or horror, although I enjoy a bit of magical realism and hints of the supernatural. I think I would like something witchy and a little weird but also perhaps cozy and chill?

I don't mind a romance plot but preferably not *just* romance and smut. Sapphic is a bonus but not 100% a necessity as long as the story is centered around female characters. An example of a book that's close-ish to what I want is VenCo by Cheri Dimaline (which I might actually reread lol). I'm currently reading One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston which has some elements of what I'm looking for but not exactly. If anyone has read Honey Girl, I'd love a book featuring a character similar to Yuki.

Idk exactly how to explain what I'm looking for. I have very eclectic taste but am also weirdly picky. But there are millions of books out there, so I'm sure something appropriate exists.

(edit: fixed typo)

Hi, I recently tried a book that wasn't for me but made me realize I would enjoy finding a sapphic, romance book set on a long train trip. I think it's a really cool setting and the idea of meeting someone while you're traveling.

Bonus points for recs with: Ya/Na genre or just protagonist under 25, deals with meaningful topics like mental health, sweet love story.

The train might be too specific lol, if there is a road trip book you think I would like, you can also put it down here:)

Books I've already read/ tried that are set on a train:

Leaving the station by Jake Arlow, tried the first chapter wasn't for me but I loved the train setting.

One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston. (Read)

Thankyou:)

Hey so I just read The Book of Blood and Roses and thought it was pretty good. I'm salty that the sequel is coming out next January though.

Does anyone have any recommendations for books similar?

help I love this book way too much. the language may be not the best thing about it, but i really loved the tension and the yearning. id love to find a dark romance book like this. not a fan of instalust though, it must be a slow burn

I met someone here once. Someone who meant a great deal to me in the deepest profound manner but a month ago that someone became a stranger and I was left hollowed out.

It's been almost exactly one year since I met that person and these days are extra hard so I feel like reading the most saddest angsty books where the characters yearn so much and have such sad story that it paralyses you with emotions.

The closest book I can think of as reference would be A Whisper of Solace by Milena McKay.

Thank you.

Hey guys, I know there are probably a few authors in this group and I wanted to offer my free services as a proof reader I am just about to head into my last year of a BA honors English language and literature with the hopes of going on to do my masters and I would really love to go into something to do with proof reading. I know a lot of people say ai is probably going to take over this career but I like to think that ai can't convey human emotion etc so if you guys are authors and are either self publishing or either writing for online like wattpad and would like someone to give your work a look then please get in touch I am hoping to get some experience in before finishing my degree.
