Welcome to the IHS Reading Challenge Week 10 Sapphic Book Giveaway!
Each week as part of the I Heart SapphFic Reading Challenge, we will be holding two sapphic book giveaways with books from the current week’s categories. Authors and publishers are generously offering these e-books as prizes, for which we are very grateful. We couldn’t do what we do without such wonderful community support!
Here are the two sapphic book giveaways this week:
First Love
Boat / Cruise Ship
We will select two winners, one from each giveaway. One winner will get all the books on the First Love list, while the other will receive all the Boat / Cruise Ship books listed below. You can enter for both giveaways, and in fact, we encourage it!
You can also enter to win even if you aren’t participating in the reading challenge. But, if you like reading, why not join the fun as well? After all, reading is more fun with friends!

All you have to do is tell us what book you are reading in our Wednesday check-ins on your favorite social media platform. At the end of the year, you can also enter to win one of the grand prizes, which are Amazon gift cards ranging from $50 to $250. Click here for more details.

Struggling musician Reaux Briggs thought she had problems…until she stepped onto a cruise ship and ran into the woman who broke her heart. As long-buried feelings float to the surface, and a tropical storm threatens their lives, can the former lovers let go of the past and reach calm waters?
