Emma | 2 comments I have such a specific niche for wlw books atm! I absolutely love the historical wlw books. One of my favs of all time is the seven husbands of evelyn hugo and i just finished reading Carol for the first time and it was wonderful! Any more recommendations for this sort of thing would be much appreciated!! 🧍‍♀️

Corrie Cubos | 1 comments Last year I read a book called The Perks of Loving a Wallflower by Erica Ridley and it was so good! It’s the third book I believe in a series that follows a family of misfits (loosely similar to The Umbrella Academy in the way that they were all adopted and work together as a team to do missions). They’re all romance novels, and you don’t have to read all of them to understand the context as things are explained pretty well. I didn’t know what to expect, but I loved it!

Rose | 1 comments The Wellington mysteries series by Edale Lane
Basically it’s lesbian Sherlock homes


Halosandangelicwings | 5 comments Just finished beta/ARC reading Stolen by Time by Lucinda Wicked, and I’m OBSESSED.

If you love Outlander but wish it was sapphic (and honestly, better), this one’s for you. Forbidden love, high-stakes drama, and the Scottish Highlands as the perfect backdrop—it’s everything you want in a time-bending romance.

It’s up for pre-order on Amazon now. Go grab it—you’re not gonna want to miss this one.
