I haven't seen too many sapphic recs in your replies yet SO I am going to say that Camille Kellogg's Just As You Are and The Next Chapter feel like they've got major Gen Z appeal to me, tho may not be widely known enough for a used book store. Also Honey Girl by Morgan Rogers!

If you watch it, please let me know! I have thoughts! (Mostly but not all positive, I’d say)

this is all really interesting! I'm always fascinated by inside stories on the editing process, and how much it shapes (as well as follows) trends in the genre. Thanks so much for sharing :)

oh interesting - I should try to dig up a copy of that!

Thanks! This is super helpful for pinpointing a general time period (which is probably all that can be done- but I was still curious!)

aaaa, lucky you, it's a DELIGHT!

I hope so tooooooo

Oooh which one!?

Start with any of the first 6 on this list, you cannot go wrong

ooh, I think I own this one! I should read it now that the weather's colder :)

YESSS that final chapter is so epic

Kinsale does sure know her way around a shenanigan, doesn’t she?

I’ve never read Tal Bauer before! Clearly I need to rectify this

Today I got to have the “the verb ‘baiser’ doesn’t mean what you think it means” discussion w my students, which means I got to relive w them the moment where I told some French people I’d just seen my professor “kissing” his wife in the cafeteria… very incorrectly 🫠

honestly not sure! it just came to my table and it's delicious

let me know next time you're here, and I'll totally treat you to one!

yay!! I highly recommend the Arabic coffee - I feel like I could run five miles and write a book on the power of this stuff ;)
