WLW & lesbian medical romance novels (F/F Fiction Crossword Challenge #7)

  For this week’s puzzle, I picked WLW & lesbian medical romance novels, one of the most popular subgenres. Apparently, there’s something really sexy about scrubs and stethoscopes! Maybe it’s the high-pressure setting of ERs or the hurt/comfort aspect of some of these romances. Whatever it is, I hope you enjoy today’s puzzle.   You can still send in the solutions for previous puzzles! You can still solve the previously posted puzzles.

Reader interviews: Favorite f/f & lesbian books, favorite tropes, and how to read a book a day!

  When I first started Lesbian Book Bingo at the beginning of this year, I knew many of you are avid readers, but I had no idea how much some of you really read! Many readers didn’t just send in one bingo card; they sent in several.
