A Third Death – C.L. Bactad
I finally got around making an epub of one of my old Xena files, as I like to call them. I’ve been keeping these stories for in this case more than 25 years. It’s worth it. This is such a good one, never gets old 🥰.

Tryst Six Venom – Penelope Douglas
I read a lot about this book. Readers saying how toxic it was. That was no lie. But as you may know by now, I like a bit of controversy. I decided to take the chance and I was very happy I did!

To The Edge: best friends to lovers romance by Cameron Abbott
All the recs on my blog are available in e-book or at least digitally. This title is not. But I have to tell you about this one. I’ve read this novel by Cameron Abbott at least 4 times. I love the delicious slow burn in To The Edge. It’s a friends to lovers but man, the buildup is terrific! Anne and Gallagher are friends since high school. They are very close, so close even that…

In Every Port – The first one by Karin Kallmaker
I recently re-read this first novel by Karin Kallmaker. First published in 1989 it bears the sign of the times. It’s probably one of the reasons I like this book well enough to read it more than once. In fact it was probably the 3rd or 4th time I read it. In Every Port tells the story of Jessica, a management consultant for women, and Cat, a hotel executive who lives across from her apartment.…

Lip Service (2010): The Scottish Answer to The L Word
Oeh, Lip Service. The Scottish answer to The L Word. Or maybe it wasn’t, but that is what I always thought. With Frankie as the Scottish Shane, although maybe even more glum than Shane was. But just as good with the ladies 😎. Kidding aside, this is a good show!

Dates (2013): Erica & Kate (because it’s Katie McGrath)
Katie McGrath who plays an angry lesbian on a first date with another beautiful woman, played by Gemma Chang. I mean, this was kinda my dream come true 😅. As a Supercorp/Lena Luthor fan this is a must see 😍🔥. I also understand where the Supercorp chemistry originated from 😏. So that is a bit shallow, but this is worth watching. It deals with a serious subject. Not necessarily an easy one 🫤. Watch the…

Passionate Love and Struggle in Tipping The Velvet (2002)
Tipping The Velvet is based on a book by Sarah Waters, Tipping The Velvet. And it’s fabulous. Nan falls in love with Kitty, and her real life begins. Her life loving women, falling in and out of love and stretching her limits in order to survive. It’s a crude story and I felt for Nan. She has to go through it all to finally live and love.

Oh my word, Fingersmith. I’ve watched this mini series, an adaptation of Sarah Waters classic novel Fingersmith, so many times. It’s absolutely fantastic.

The L Word (2004) – A Handbook for Every Lesbian
I couldn’t believe it when The L Word came out in 2004. The whole world had to stop and go away when we watched a new episode of this fabulously lesbian, lesbian show. Wow, it’s still unbelievable this even happened. So many (beautiful) women, so gay for each other. All these stories, all these mostly relatable stories. It was just out of this world. I even liked Jenny 🤫. I am probably one of the…

The World To Come (2020): Mid-19th Century American East Coast Frontier Love Story
The World To Come is not an easy movie to watch, I feel. But is a beautiful love story that makes all the hardship worthwhile. And Vanessa Kirby is just 🔥. Blurb from IMDB: Somewhere along the mid-19th century American East Coast frontier, two neighboring couples battle hardship and isolation, witnessed by a splendid yet testing landscape, challenging them both physically and psychologically. Yep, that says it all.

Concussion (2013): A Thought-Provoking Take on Sexual Satisfaction
I waited a long time before I dared to watch Concussion. I feared this was a movie that could trigger some unwanted emotions. And it did, but not necessarily in a bad way. This movie raises some questions that few dare to ask. Like, what happens when you’re not satisfied sexually in your marriage? What do you do? Maybe nothing. In this movie it is even more interesting that it is a lesbian couple that…

A Woman like Eve (1979): Groundbreaking Dutch Film on Love and Identity
Being Dutch I cannot forget to mention Een Vrouw als Eva or A Woman like Eve. Or even without being Dutch, this is a great movie. Ahead of it’s time, if you ask me. The movie is telling the story of Eva, a wife and mother. She is restless and stressed out. To relax, her husband sends her to a commune in France. There she meets Liliane, a lesbian. Soon Eva falls for her and…

A Perfect Ending (2012): An unlikely Love Story
I must admit that I really liked A Perfect Ending, another Nicole Conn movie. It was a very moving story and Barbara Niven was excellent. The artsy fartsy bits with Paris (and her weird slow voice) were less moving for me, but her backstory was. A rarely seen premise of this unlikely love story between a rich, frigid, middle-aged woman and a beautiful, young escort ❤️.
