Sapphic Slow-burn romances

character is in therapy

Character is in therapy (Book Unicorn #2)

It’s time for the second Book Unicorn post, and this one features books with a main character who’s in therapy–and when I say “therapy,” I mean psychotherapy. 

If you find a book where the therapy sessions feature prominently in the plot, that’s great, especially if therapy is portrayed as something positive that the character is doing to take care of their mental health. But the book counts for this category even if we don’t see the character in a therapy session, as long as it’s stated at least once in the book that the main character is going to therapy. 

sapphic disaster book

Sapphic disaster books (Sapphic Book Bingo #3)

This week’s category of the Sapphic Book Bingo features sapphic disaster books. Of course, not the books themselves are the disaster; their plots reolve around a disaster.

It can be a natural disaster such as an earthquake, a hurricane, a tornado, a volvanic eruption, a flood, an avalanche, a wildfire, a blizzard, etc., or it could be a man-made disaster that results from technological or human error, e.g., a plane crash, a shipwreck (think Titanic), a train accident, or an explosion, etc. 

award-winning sapphic book

Award-winning sapphic book (Sapphic Book Bingo #2)

This week’s Sapphic Book Bingo post features the “award-winning sapphic book” category. Read a sapphic book that won a literary award. It doesn’t matter which award the book won, when, or in which category. It could be an award for LGBT+ literature or a mainstream award. 

For awards celebrating LGBTQ books, check out the Golden Crown Literary Society Award (affectionately called “Goldie”), the Lambda Literary Award (“Lammy”), or the Rainbow Awards. 

second generation LGBTQIA

Second generation LGBTQIA (Book Unicorn #1)

Welcome to the first Book Unicorn post of the Sapphic Book Bingo!

For the first Book Unicorn category, I’d like you to read a book with two generations of LGBT+ characters. For example, the protagonist could be a women-loving woman who has a gay father, a bisexual mother, a lesbian aunt, or a trans child.
