Sapphic Slow-burn romances
For this category of the Sapphic Book Bingo, read a sapphic book that is not a romance. It can have a romance subplot, but the romance shouldn’t be the main plot. You’ll find recommended sapphic books below that fall into genres such as fantasy, science fiction, mystery, thriller, general fiction, and historical fiction.
This week’s Sapphic Book Bingo features books about characters with a sexual orientation or gender identity that differs from your own. I’m recommending 15 books with lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, trans, nonbinary, and intersex characters.

As a surprise for you, I put together an anthology full of “meet-cute” scenes from 45 popular authors of sapphic fiction. You can download “Meet-Cute” as a free ebook.
For this week’s Sapphic Book Bingo, read a sapphic book that mentions another sapphic book or a sapphic book that is mentioned in another sapphic book. For example, Hannah, the main character of my new romance Just a Touch Away, is an avid reader and is seen reading Write for Her by Kim Hartfield.
