Hi Rowan! Nice to meet you. Would love to add you as a friend. What are some of your fave fantasy titles? Fave sapphic titles?

Tracey

Hi Tracey, please do! I can't figure out how to use the app. I love one last stop, guilded ones, the final strife. I first got into fantasy with the Eragon series so that's still a fave. What recs do you have? :)

Hi, everyone! I'm Rhiannon (she/they). I'm 26 and currently living in St. Louis, MO. I enjoy all types of queer literature, and some of my favorite queer authors are Casey McQuiston, Freya Marske, and Cat Sebastian. After being primarily a mystery/thriller reader for much of my teenage years and early 20s, I've more recently started to branch out into other genres (primarily romance, SFF, and historical fiction). 💞

[One]

Hello there ladies! ^__^ Nice to meet everyone!

My name is Zee Bee. I'm 33 and I'm a Jamaican/Panamanian sapphic graphic novelist and animator.

I've taken a LONGGGG hiatus from reading novels to pursue my own comic series endeavors over the years BUT suddenly I think I'm starting to get the itch to read some books again!

I would love to read more sapphic comics/manga but they seem to be soooo hard to find. >.< I want to be able to support other fellow sapphic graphic novelists as well but I always see more sapphic novels than comic books in the LGBTQ+ genre.

At least I'm happy to be contributing a whole different medium to the culture though! It makes me feel good because so many people have said we need more sapphic comics. And it is true indeed! WE DO!!!!! LOL

If you guys know any other awesome sapphic comic creators, I'd love to know! <3

So far though, I've just been browsing around for some good sapphic reads in general. ~__~

I'm kinda new to Goodreads. I published my sapphic comic books on Amazon last year but literally just claimed my Author Profile on here this month. haha!

But anyway, once again nice to meet ya'll! And I hope to be filling up my bookshelf soon too! (but a virtual bookshelf for now...since I have no room for an actual gigantic bookshelf in my apartment! lmao)

[misguidedgrace]

Hey everyone! I'm Grazia but everyone calls me Grace, I'm 29 and I live in Florence (Italy). I love stories with sapphic characters, as well as live music and good movies.

Let's be friends! x

Hey! My name is Laurel and I absolutely love sapphic books. I mostly read ya, but I’m cool with adult too. Right now I’m actually writing a book about a girl who dies before some big event in her life and makes a deal with personified Death. They might fall in love… But anyway, I love any kind of book with morally gray characters!!! Think Six of Crows or All of Us Villains. Any recs? Thanks!
