Heyaaa all!! I am mei, 20 yrs old. I use pronouns she/her. I might be a bi, not sure exactly, though it doesn't matter ;). I just started reading non-fictions and very new in the sapphic books, but I have read a lot of yuri web novels from novelupdates and wattpad. Glad to join here and looking forward to my journey of reading more and more books. Always open for suggestions >.<

my pronouns are her/she
I maybe bi, maybe not. still not sure. I will love to make new friends ( ✧Д✧) YES!!

[✮silvia ✮]

hii all, i am silvia.
i am from slovakia and my preferred pronouns are she/they. i mostly identify with the labels sapphic/queer {and i also feel like i am somewhere under the ace umbrella?}, primarily because i am still not exactly sure about my identity as a whole.
i only got more into reading about two years ago, which makes me think i might be on the younger side of this group, but i am always looking for new book buddies and recs. though i read mostly ya, adult recs are still very welcome <33
i am a big kelly quindlen/nina lacour fan and some of my favorite sapphic books are:
she drives me crazy, six times we almost kissed (and one time we did), ophelia after all, extasia, flip the script, city of shattered light, if tomorrow doesn´t come, the priory of the orange tree, the lucky list, the henna wars, i kissed shara wheeler ...
honestly, i think i could go on forever!
i’m really excited to join this group! for now, i hope you all have a nice day!!!

[Orchid]

[robin✨allthethingssheread]

Hiya! I'm Robin, she/her, I think I'm on the older side of this group (30yo). I joined Goodreads to try and pick up reading again after a long time spent in complete burnout and now I find myself only wanting to read queer SFF.
I have been absolutely spoiled by The Locked Tomb series and This is How You Lose The Time War, and now I'm looking for sapphic recs! Not big into YA but if it's sapphic I'll read it. Also looking for friends to stay motivated as I read! ☺️

[Steph]

Hi! I'm Steph and I'm a Demi-Sexual Lesbian from New Jersey. I love queer books and read a lot of Contempo books with a dash of Fantasy and a sprinkling of Sci-Fi . I'm a gamer and a theater adult. Happy to be here.

Some Fave Sapphic Books

Forward March
Ophelia After All
Evelyn Hugo

[Tracey]

HAPPY HALLOWEEN/HAPPY SAMHAIN!
Just wanted to pop on and say hello. A sweet friend recommended this group to me. In 2024, I hope to get more sapphic fiction reading in. This year, I've only read one - Delilah Green Doesn't Care by Ashley Herring Blake. All I can say is that I don't usually choose anything categorized solely as a romance, as I enjoy darkness and a little more depth than some romances offer. However, I was pleasantly surprised.

Today is actually a really special day for me - the first novel in my own series released today! In fact, Shelby, the friend who recommended this group, was gracious enough to beta read this story for me. Not only is is Sapphic, but witchy (technically, the genre is metaphysical/visionary).

I'm eager to be here!!

[Tara Myers]

hiii i’m Tara i’m 17 from australia
My favourite sapphic book is ‘love is for losers’ by Wibke Brueggemann and ‘All the invisible things’ by Orlagh Collins
i joined this group because im always in the mood for a good queer romance book but they seem to be predominantly mlm books which are also great but i really want some more wlw books to read

[Jeanne]

Hi! I'm Jeanne, I'm new to GoodReads. I'm a family physician with too little free time. I'm 28 years old, living in Canada.
