I have to look at my settings. Thanks.

What is SF in this context? 😅

I've subscribed to feeds but I swear I see stuff outside of those and people I follow. I guess I have to switch my brain to a different setting.

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.)

That's sad news. I am able to buy the audiobook on Audible.co.uk so I'll probably get it there then. My wife and I both loved A Gentleman's Gentleman (with the UK title).

Hey, will the audiobook of A Lady For All Seasons be more widely available? I'm using Storytel to listen to audiobooks (in addition to Audible). I see most of your other books on Storytel but not the latest. I'm in Europe if that has anything to do with the availability.

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. 🌈📚

If you are getting tired of the winter Olympics, give this basketball romance a chance! You don't have to know basketball to read it. I'd love to see this book as an audiobook and I look forward reading more stories by the author in the future.

The slow burn is delicious. There's quality spice but the main focus is in the chemistry between the main characters and building the relationship. Hald Court Shot is the type of romance I really like. 4.25⭐ The cover art is 🔥🤌🏼

In this slooooow burn sapphic romance, Danny and Perry will have a second chance after reuniting at work. Danny is a star basketball player with colourful relationship history. Perry is a career oriented future franchise owner. Danny transfers to play for Perry's dad's team in NJ.

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. 🌈📚

I got the audiobook yesterday. It'll probably be my next or one after that listen.

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. 🌈📚

It's a sapphic romance novel about Colby and Josie who briefly met at the end of book 2. The book is standalone so you don't have to read books 1 and 2 first. They both are worth checking out, tho'! 🌈📚

Minna Perälä 🌈 @minnaper.bsky.social · 20/01/2026

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. 4.25⭐ app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/f32f...

Pink book cover with a brunette and a blond sitting on a brown sofa with a golden retriever sitting between them. Book title is I Will Always Love You (Maybe), written by Dana Hawkins.

Current read: Brooke Takes Queen by Alaina Erdell It's a sapphic romance about a single parent and a career oriented ice queen who inherits the holiday resort the other woman is managing. 📚🌈 ARC received from Bold Stroke Books via Netgalley.

I'm annoyed at myself a bit regarding Ask, Tell. I have listened to it _at least_ twice before. Goodreads and Storygraph have only one logged read for it. Damn it. *cries in data anxiety*

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!

Recommendations on sapphic romance that is Audible exclusive? I know there are tons of options on Audible but which are your *favorites*? 🌈📚 💙📚 Nothing too serious, no romantasy, paranormal or dark romance, thank you very much. Something similar to these:

Minna Perälä 🌈 @minnaper.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

What did you think of it? I've listened to the audiobook and bought and read paperback later. I think it's underappreciated. Just because the setting is MF dating show, it's not less of a sapphic romance.

Minna Perälä 🌈 @minnaper.bsky.social · 06/05/2025

I'm currently having way too many options for the next read. And I'm looking only at the most recent purchases. (We are ignoring all the couple of hundred ebooks bought earlier, waiting to be read...) Which one would you pick out of these sapphic romances? 🌈📚 💙🌈

I really enjoyed how you wrote her. I wasn't her biggest fan before but I certainly discovered her in this book.

It was definitely worth the wait. 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻 I will definitely re-read it soon. I loved all those little bits entwined together, like when Nicola first saw Geeta and then the movie premiere. And how Nicola melts into a puddle all the time.

I've waited for this book for over a year. It was the perfect ending to the series.

Yay! It's so wonderful ending to the series. I fell in love with Geeta and Nicola.

It was so wonderful. Bloody marvelous. I finished the book last night. Wonderful series as a whole.
