Top Sapphic Books, Chloe Keto, Freebies, and More

Apr 21, 2023 | Friday Feels Fun

We’ve made it to another Friday and it’s time to celebrate!

Find out the top 3 sapphic books with the most clicks this week, 5 Random Things about sapphic author Chloe Keto, women loving women book freebies, and an adorable Labradoodle to get your weekend off to a wonderful start!

Spring is springing at IHS headquarters this weekend. TB is trying to kick a cold in time to have some fun, but it’s going to be a close call. Now that the weather is improving, Miranda is thinking about what to do with her garden. Each year she has visions of planting amazing things, but then writing deadlines and life get in the way. TB has suggested just painting a garden on her windows so she can pretend while stuck at her desk.

A New Sapphic Subgenre?

We came across an article on BookRiot about a new trendy genre that’s been dubbed RomCozy. This is a story with both a mystery and a love story at the heart of the book or series. We couldn’t believe it! After being the only kids in the 80s not to own jelly shoes, we’re finally on the cutting edge of a trend!

RomCozy is the perfect way to describe Midlife is the Cat’s Meow. Now we’re wondering, authors, do you have a book you would call a RomCozy? Readers, have you come across any another sapphic romcozy books (not necessarily paranormal)? We want to know!

Now for Friday Fun!

Mrs Middleton

By Melissa Tereze

Their love could heal their hearts…but destroy the relationships they both hold dear.

Vanessa Middleton is fighting a serious case of uncertainty. Emma’s confession is crystal clear in her memory, and now that Vanessa is divorced from her cheating husband, the strongest barrier between them is gone. But there are others no less challenging.

Because if Vanessa couldn’t keep her husband’s attention, what could bright, beautiful, much younger Emma possibly see in her? Worse, if the two of them act on their attraction, their affair could jeopardise the relationship they both hold dear: Vanessa’s daughter—Emma’s closest friend.

Moving On

By Sage Donnell

Who knew Lisa would find love at her daughter's track meet?

Random Things:

5 Random Things is our way of helping readers to get to know top sapphic book authors all the while having a bit of fun.

Here are five random facts about Chloe Keto.

1. I’m a really bad lesbian and author because both my wife and I are allergic to cats so we remain a feline-free household. I just have to write in cute, furry friends in my books instead!

2. Another author stereotype staple is coffee… Good coffee sends me totally bouncing off the walls. I recently made the mistake of having one after lunch at work – I slept about three hours that night!

3. I’m 5’4″ and have the athletism of a wet lettuce so sports have never been my thing… but a couple of years ago I finally found one I really enjoyed – Pole Fitness! Look out for future storylines from me with exciting pole moves featured!

4. I have two kids who are sport mad whereas I don’t know one end of a football pitch from the other.

5. I got engaged many years ago in a hot air balloon over, apparently, a huge defence base. I promise that isn’t any kind of foreshadowing the nature of my marriage – we’re not the explosive kind!
