For this week’s Sapphic Book Bingo category, read a sapphic book that mentions the main character having their period.
Especially in romance novels, menstruation is hardly ever mentioned. No one ever seems to have their period or PMS, so this is definitely a true Book Unicorn category.
This week’s Sapphic Book Bingo post features sapphic fake relationship romance novels—books in which the two main characters pretend to be in a relationship with each other.
The “fake relationship” trope is very popular with romance readers, so you will find 10 additional book recommendations in the “favorite trope” post of the Sapphic Book Bingo.
I think what readers love about “fake girlfriend” or “fake fiancée” stories is that the plot throws together two characters who are often total strangers and who might not even like each other.

This week’s Sapphic Reading Challenge features sapphic books in which the main character is a business owner.
The character can be the CEO of a big, successful company, or she can own a small business without any employees.
The business she owns could be a major part of the plot, so we see the character at work a lot, or it can play only a minor role.
This week’s Sapphic Reading Challenge features sapphic books with a girl-next-door character.
“Girl next door” doesn’t mean that the main characters need to actually be neighbors and live door-to-door. It means that one of the main characters is the “girl next door” type—sweet, kind, and unpretentious. She’s generally well-liked by everyone, and she’s often described as pretty or cute, but usually, she’s not movie-star stunning.
This week’s Sapphic Reading Challenge category features books with a Jewish main character.
Ideally, try to pick a sapphic book that was written by a Jewish author.
This week’s category of the Sapphic Reading Challenge features books about main characters who are either women who disguise themselves as men out of necessity or genderqueer people who were assigned female at birth but might identify as nonbinary or as trans men (even though the book might not use those terms since most books on this list are historical romances). Read up on the rules of the Sapphic Reading Challenge If you are only discovering the Sapphic Reading Challenge now, the good news is you can still join! It’s a year-long challenge, so it runs until December 31, …
This week’s Sapphic Reading Challenge post features characters who are medical professionals. Most of the books are medical romance novels, but any book with a protagonist who works in health care counts, e.g., a physician, dentist, psychiatrist, psychologist, nurse, chiropractor, paramedic, or EMT.
This week’s interviewee is Lynn Galli, one of the pioneer indie authors of lesbian fiction. Lynn is the author of the popular Virginia Clan series and the Aspen Friends series, and she also penned several standalone romances.

Those will be the parts of the interview in blue, so you can more easily keep track of who’s saying what. Lynn also has another surprise for …
