NEW REVIEW: Not/Coming Out: A Charity Anthology (2024) We loved this diverse collection for its variety of perspectives on (not) coming out and (self-)acceptance as well as its exploration of a variety of LGBTQIA+ identities!

Not/Coming Out (2024)
This charity anthology is a diverse look at queer existence in the best way possible. And--better yet--all these diverse representations of queer identities are in one place!

Anuja Varghese's CHRYSALIS (2023) is absolutely breath-taking. A must-read for lovers of literary fiction and fantasy. We rated this 5/10 self-effacing violets! [This means it's somewhat safe but not entirely free of triggers!] Our review: savesappho.com/2023/11/06/c... #BookBlogger 🌈📚 #BlogPost

We proudly present our review of PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE (2019) as an upstanding model of what healthy, beautiful queer content can--& should--look like (to atone for all of TJR's dead queers). We rated this 3/10 soft, breathy violets. Check out our review for CW/TW: #BookBlogger 🌈📚 #BlogPost

For a film where they don't end up together because of historical circumstance, I got an immense amount of joy from this film. It's soft, and it's safe, and there is absolutely no homophobia. Refreshi...

To adequately introduce SS, I present our most popular review: Taylor Jenkins Reid's NYT Bestseller THE SEVEN HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO (2017). We rated this a 9/10 "unnecessarily painful violets thrown under the bus." Each review contains content/trigger warnings. #BookBlogger 🌈📚 #BlogPost
