If you’re working on a Sapphic book bingo or would like to start, follow Sapphic September various platforms, and check out their carrd. There are also prompts if you’re looking for book ideas.
Also other places you can check out for more sapphic and queer suggestions are:

Another great resource for LGBTQIA+ and cross-sectional topics is the website LGBTQ Reads. I’ve posted about it before on one of my blogs.
Personally, my new obsession is adult coloring books. I’m currently working on three at once. Probably not how you’re supposed to do that, but I’m neuro-spicy so it suits me fine.
Having adult money with the ability to buy fancy coloring books is somewhat of a trip. I’ve found a kind of meditation in it, and I bought the crayola brand color pencils and have fancy markers with different tips for details. I honestly don’t know why its taken me so long to pick it up.
In honor of Sapphic September, might I suggest the following coloring book? I do like mandalas a lot. I think their one of my favorite things.
Bisexual Awareness Month
Some of you might remember that I’m working on a book series that has a bisexual polyam knot that features a thief, a demon, a dragon, and an angel and all that might entail. In this newsletter I have a small scene from two characters: Izabella and William(Bill). They are at Bill’s apartment about to have sex for the first time.
“May I?” he asked as his hand slipped between my thighs. I gave him my unvoiced consent with a nod. Perched like I was, facing him, straddling his lap with my legs spread wide, it didn’t take him long to find I didn’t have any panties on. A question lit his features as his fingers grazed a circular object obscuring my sex.
“Female condom,” I answered. His curious face shifted to one of excitement as he used his fingertips to tease my clit.
“You’re prepared.”
“Scouts motto.” He laughed. I really liked hearing him laugh.
Maybe it was a thief’s motto as well. Or maybe that was more about bringing the right tools, I couldn’t exactly remember. In which case, I usually thanked Dawn for that. But this particular precaution was all mine.
Once the laughter faded his gaze caught mine. “Maybe we could let instincts take over for a while, then see what follows.”
“You think we’re being a little too cautious with each other?”
“Perhaps.” He let go of my hand, and pressed his gently to my sternum. “There’s a connection between us. Can you feel it?”
If this had been earlier in the night I might have laughed. I’d had my fair share of individuals that flirted with me. I would have considered the line cheesy if Bill’s face wasn’t so sincere about it.
I covered his hand with the one not holding his dick. “Not yet, but we could remedy that.”
Bill caught his laugh in his mouth, muffling it. The small jest seemed to remove some of the awkward tension between us. He eventually smiled, combined with the heat in his eyes, it made my pulse quicken as he replied. “Yes. Lets.”
If you’d like a visual of the group I’m calling the fab four, here’s an art I haven’t shared of them yet by an awesome friend of mine, andy_drws.
Very eighties/Friends I know. Actually, Friends would have been much better as a queer polycule. I’m sure there is fanfic out there, but I’m not going to hunt it up for you. One of my favorite details in this art is the fact that the ladies are wearing boots and the guys are wearing oxfords.
Until next time, enjoy!
