This week's Sapphic Book Bingo post features sapphic speculative fiction, which is a broad and diverse category, so I included 20 instead of 15 recommended books.
Most of them are sapphic paranormal romances, fantasy, or romantasy novels, but there are also some sci-fi romances, dark fantasy, and horror in the mix.
🎉Good News, Everyone! I'm writing a new book! Called PORTRAIT OF THREE LOVERS AT SEA, or #POTLAS. It's a Norse-Myth-Vibing polyam romantic fantasy, posted periodically on #Patreon, and the first chapter is free to read, right now! 😄
I packed so much in this novella and sometimes I feel the promos focus a lot on either characters or general genres, so here are four semi-random things I love in AWAKENINGS.
Sixteen low-angst Valentine's Day queer romance novellas, where every story has a secret—a secret admirer. I've got a new Village novella included, "Valentine's Dave."
The first Candy Hearts Anthology will be available for a limited time; all proceeds to benefit the Transgender Law Center and the National Center for Transgender Equality.
AN EXTRAVAGANTLY THEATRICAL LIFE, onstage and off—the playwright and incomparable diva Charles Busch’s memoir is witty and full of love for his family, friends, mentors, and muses, but most of all for the glamour of acting. B PLUS
The recommended reading list for the first category of the Sapphic Book Bingo 2024 is now up on my website, and it's a special one: must-read sapphic books.
For this category, I had 6,000+ readers vote on their favorite sapphic book and compiled a list of the top 50 most-popular books.
This amazing cover is by Eva I. (is.this.eva on Insta!), and gosh I love it so much. Introduces the 4th member of our crew, abrasive and secretive Keza, who is also Cool as Heck, let's be honest.
@bookstodon Just finished Bored Gay Werewolf by Tony Santerella, and highly recommend! It's not available in the US (it was published in the UK) but it is available on Audible, and its a fun listen.
This coming of age story is a fun romp, taking down toxic masculinity while trying to figure out young adulthood as a...gay werewolf.

HEART OF THE COVENANT by @dovelynnwriter.bsky.social is perfect for sci-fi lovers of quieter Star Trek episode or Becky Chambers' work.

Hedriar has been chosen to represent her homeworld within the Galactic Covenant. There she'll meet new friends and discover that people aren't as different as all that.
Happy 2nd day of #DecRecs to those who celebrate! Today's recommendation is 'Even Though I Knew The End', by C. L. Polk. A thoughtful, wistful Chicago noir about a supernatural detective making deals with demons to sell (or redeem) her soul. Wonderful setting, clothes, mood, vibes; and a bittersweet approach to demon bargains that feels more real, somehow, than more traditional tales of this nature.
It’s getting to be the time of year for reading holiday romance, so check out this collection of Rainbow Holiday Romance including my The Merchant’s Love, a cozy fall/winter holiday fantasy romance.
Hey everybody, before we relegate the Moms for Liberty to the large dustbin of failed #fascist moments let's take a moment to how much of an ass kicking this #DeSantis spawned organization got last night. #bookBans#lgbtqbooks
Happy #FediBookFair! I'm Antonia Aquilante, and I write LGBTQ fantasy romance. My latest is To Love the Dragon King, the first book in the Dragons of Ivria series, in which a king trying to uncover a plot against him stumbles upon a man being unknowingly used as a pawn in that same conspiracy.
