Cheri’s Comments (group member since Apr 22, 2011)

Cheri’s comments from the Mostly Sapphic group.

Just finished Make Room for Love. I bought it a while ago but never got around to it. I picked up the audio for $5 and started the other day. I went back to the ebook though.

I'm thinking about rereading either Stone Butch Blues or Bittersweet.

Alright - finished the series. I'm pretending book 5 doesn't actually exist.

Alright, I'm almost done with Small Packages (book 3) and will listen to book 4 immediately after.

grrrrr

Just finished the first book and debating continuing on. I've got a lot of reports to process today so it's the perfect time for listening. I use a text to speech reader for some of the reading. I had started a different book but I'm still in the mood for more Anna & Lily...

I like the idea of reading more of what I guess are considered classics now.

I tend to read my faves from her back to back. I'll probably read Just This Once. It may be my absolute fave by her.

I love this story. I can't tell you how many times I've read it but I love it every time. The whole escaping the mall part is my favorite. I'm about 1/2 done with this reread.

I was mostly on StoryGraph 2024 and the first half of 2025 so we missed getting this set up. But I still wanna play!

Here's a template if you want to use it:

The challenge is to read at least one novel or novella length book or online fiction that begins with each letter of the alphabet (articles don't count in the title). Genre is not important. Use your judgement when defining what is or isn't the right length - you're only competing against yourself so it's really up to you.

Only books completed in 2025 count.

Have fun!

We're back with a new Book of the Month!

Remember to cover your spoilers with the following code (remove the spaces after the first < and before the final >: < spoiler>Spoilery stuff

Now let us chat!

Hello Mostly Sapphicers!

We're bringing back the Book of the Month. I'm picking this one because I've got an urge to read Without Warning. There are also lots of folks new to the genre who aren't familiar with all my old favorites so it's time for some introductions to the grandmas of the genre.

I'll set up a discussion thread for it now.

There are. I struggle with them because of all the notifications of the bigger ones and the dearth of conversation in others. I tend to stick with book related sites that allow for tracking and discussing in the same place. But I know they're becoming very popular.

it's a trope dealing with a woman being with another woman for the first time. Used to be an old joke that when we recruit a new member to the fold, we win a toaster oven.

But you're still old.

I believe it's Female Main Character

Good question. I can't think of any off the top of my head, but I guarantee someone here has some suggestions.

Looks good! And thank you for selling your books on Kobo!

Welcome Kyla!

You'll find LOADS of recommendations here. Feel free to comment on any of the existing threads and I guarantee someone will join in.
