hi Mara!! I just finished Girls I've Been and it was CRAZY good, like maybe one of my favorite books ever. Omg it is SO good to see people still using this forum, I love all of you
omg, hey, thank you for restarting this group! Stacey wrote: "I'm looking for some good suggestions here too.. The Weight of the Stars has been at the top of my TBR list for a while. Has anyone read it?"
The Weight of Stars is FANTASTIC imo, very well-written.
For fantasy, my favorites recently have been the Crier's War duology by Nina Varela, the Mirage duology by Somaiya Daud (though not till book two), Midnight Lie by Marie Rutkoski, and This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone. these are all fantasy, the first three ya and the last adult!

i hadn't heard of any of the theater and i'll have to add them to my list. Wild Nights with Emily looks SO GOOD OH MY GOD!! i can't wait for it to release widely.

BLACK MIRROR REALLY WENT OFF. actually that whole show went off i fuckin love it
I still haven't seen ODAAT and I'm such a failure for it!! it looks amazing.
my favorite sapphic movie is Carol [YES, I know everyone has seen this, but it's the best let's be really honest with ourselves]. I'm mostly more into sapphic tv - I was one of those people that watched All The Sapphic Shows in like 2015 - but one of my favorite couples ever is Nomi and Amanita from Sense8! <3 <3
Hi friends! The discussion boards on here have been a little dead lately, so I thought I'd ask: what are some non-book sapphic media things you adore?

So we'll be reading this all through September, and I hope you're all going to join us! The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo follows a glamorous Hollywood actress throughout her life. she is Cuban and bisexual. it is also one of my personal favorite books and I am SO excited that it won oh my god?

I'm so glad you loved it, Jamie! I agree - I think the ending was a little less dramatic. my guess is she held off to build up for a series!

yeah, those are both awesome books!! I haven't listened to either on audio but the print versions are a m a z i n g and they should rock on audio!
