As I watch this incredible Virginia-Iowa game, feels like a good time to post a reminder that my sapphic basketball (the MCs are coaches) romance, HOW YOU GET THE GIRL, is on sale for $2.99 for the rest of the month. a.co/d/0hl2eEjH It remains the book that made me laugh the most while writing it

I'm truly enjoying the audiobook of Lady Like by Mackenzi Lee. It's such a fun historical sapphic romance. And the narrator (Moira Quirk) does excellent job hyping up the story and characters. I have not read the author's books before but after this they sure will be on my TBR. 🌈📚

Threads app is still crashing. I try to use Bluesky more instead. But my front page feed is a mess because algorithm doesn't know what to show me. My interests: Sapphic romance Block printing Watercolor painting Fountain pens and inks Woodworking Aaaand the newest fixation: 3D printing

After thinking about it for a couple of months, I finally decided to rip off the band-aid. I ordered a 3D printer yesterday. It should arrive in a few weeks. I ended up buying Anycubic Kobra X and PLA. 🤩 Now, send me all your most useful prints for art, crafts, office, organizing, etc. #3dprinting

It's been surprisingly easy and light day. Threads app has not worked on my (Android) phone today. It keeps crashing. One day without all the horrible news and commentary has been refreshing. (I've reinstalled it twice, purged app's cache/data storage, restarted the whole phone.)

Refreshed edition of Her Name In The Sky by Kelly Quindlen arrived in the post. I think I'll read this once I finish my current ebook. Her Name In The Sky is a sapphic young adult novel. It'll probably wreck you before you'll heal. I read the original version a couple of years ago. 🌈📚

I read a wlw sports romance debut by Kimani Mae. I got to read Half Court Shot in advance. I really liked writing style and pacing of the book. I was impressed, not every debut is this well-honed. It was really enjoyable, relatively light and sweet read. There's diverse cast of side characters. 🌈📚

Thank you @mchutsonauthor.bsky.social for the copy if Slow Cooked Feelings and the cute stickers! I beta read for this sapphic romance last fall. I look forward reading the final version. MC told me it's very different from the beta version. 🌈📚

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. 🌈📚 Discovering Nicola by @clareashton.bsky.social

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. Lesbian publishing did not spring fully formed from the forehead of Evelyn Hugo. #lesfic
