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 🥰.
AI rip-offs targeting sapphic books – blog by Jae
Some people find it seemingly ok to take books written by actual authors, run it through AI and sell it as their own 😤.
Shifting Gears – Jazz Forrester
"Shifting Gears" is a highly anticipated novel by Jazz Forrester, known for her exceptional Supercorp fanfiction, including "There's A Big Old Moon Shining Down At Night." The story features Eleanor Cromwell and Dani Cooper, who unexpectedly fall in love amidst life's chaos. I encourage you to indulge in this romantic tale.
The Price of Salt – Patricia Highsmith
The Price of Salt is also known as Carol, like the title of the famous movie with Cate Blanchett and Roony Mara. This is a beautiful, romantic and well-written novel.
Am I Ok? (2022)
Is it still interesting to watch a movie about a woman coming out as a lesbian? Well yes it is! Especially when that woman in question is Dakota Johnson. I mean... Call me shallow 🤷♀️.
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!
