Still reading Cold Days by Jim Butcher, the 14th book in Dresden Files series.

Had a busy week so couldn't get much reading done, about halfway through though.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I also LOVE sapphic scifi and scifi romance. I have not read the books you mentioned, but I will definitely look into them.

I recently read The Two Lies of Faven Scythe by Megan O’Keefe and The Stars Too Fondly by Emily Hamilton. Both very good sapphic scifi.

Hiii, just an FYI that Monk and Robot isn't sapphic, the MC is NB and into guys, I didn't make that clear :3 it's still got cute romance though.

I've read Faven Scythe too! I thought it was pretty good but Faven was a little inconsistent as a character I thought.

I'll look into The Stars Too Fondly, thank you!

And have you read A Memory Called Empire (and its sequel)!? It's my absolute favorite sapphic sci-fi rn.

No worries and thanks for the clarification! I’m a fan of all things scifi, but sapphic scifi and scifi romance have been my jam lately. I’m 100% cool with NB or being into guys, my current read is a scifi romance about straight folks :D

I can see what you mean about Faven Scythe. I enjoyed it, but I read it more to gauge how I feel about reading her other books since I have a trilogy of hers I have yet to start.

I have heard about Memory Called Empire, just haven’t read it yet. It sounds like it would be right up my alley.

If you read Stars Too Fondly, I hope you enjoy it and thanks for the recs!

Thank you too and enjoy! ❤️
