I recently finished reading ARC of I Will Always Love You (Maybe) by Dana Hawkins.
I really enjoyed reading the 3rd and final (AFAIK) part in the Meet Cute in Minnesota series by @dhawkinsauthor.bsky.social.

The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun is being made into a movie! That's exciting. The MM romance is so sweet. I don't usually read MM romances. The Charm Offensive is one of the few I've read.
Nik Dodani will play Dev. He's just nerdy enough for the role.

Current (re)listen: Ask, Tell by E.J. Noyes. I'm going to listen to Ask Me Again and If I Don't Ask and soon, too. I listened to Jana's book, If the Shoe Fits, in December. 📚🌈
I kind of forgot Bluesky for a bit. I'll be more active so plenty of sapphic romance posts coming in the near future!

Oh my gawd, I'm so happy how the book turned out and how it wrapped up the series.
Discovering Nicola is my favorite book in the series. I've loved both Millie and Olivia and read them multiple times but Geeta and Nicola stole my heart.

I'm in love with this book (ARC). I'm only at 42% because life, work and kids, but it's so good. Nicola's pants are on fire, Geeta's finding herself post divorce, they are *gasp* becoming friends. 🌈📚

A lot of book influencers have done posts for lesbian visibility week, which is cool.
Also, an irony that so many of them are unaware of the thousands of lesbian books not published via a mainstream imprint.

I can imagine it's sad to let go after "living" with same characters for years. I bet it will be difficult for us readers, too.
Every time I get to the words "the end" with this book, I feel so sad even though it's one of the happiest endings I think I've written. Going to miss these characters so flipping much.
Nearly finished the last (really this time) draft...
Oxford book 3, sapphic romance.
