SapphFic Mischief Saturday Morning Graphic

Happy weekend!

Saturdays are when we round up all the sapphic book news from the previous week into one convenient location. Think of it as your personal queer reading directory! After all, we know the weekend is when so many of us are able to unwind for a minute and want to get lost in a good wlw book. What could be better?

This week, TB released the latest story in the Lizzie series to celebrate TB’s 10-year writing anniversary. Woot!!!!

She sat down to write a post about what 10 years of Lizzie has meant to her and as it turns out, Lizzie has meant a lot.

Reflecting on the past decade with such a memorable character made TB realize just how much she owes to Lizzie. Not only for launching TB’s writing career, but for the life advice she learned from Lizzie along the way.

One of the life lessons was simple, but also the hardest for TB to learn and sink in.

Find out more about that lesson here.

Where the heck was TB?

TB loves exploring places near and far, so we’ve created a weekly game where TB goes on an adventure, snaps some photos, and then lets you guess her location.

To answer last’s week’s question, 80% of you got it right. We were in Hannibal, Missouri. Also, 13% of you think TB is trying to convince Miranda to move there. That’s kind of true. TB loves the quaintness of the town, but it was miserably hot and humid and TB’s not sure she can handle it.

Now for this week’s guessing game.

On their epic road trip from Massachusetts to Colorado, TB and Miranda drove through Canada on the way back.

TB was the driver, and she was shocked by how aggressive some of the Canadian drivers were. Some of them would put Masshole drivers to shame for not being jerky enough. It’s possible there was a lot of screaming and F bombs (by TB. And maybe the Canadian drivers, but we had the windows rolled up and the AC on because it was hotter than Hannibal.)

Here are some clues about one of the cities they explored on an extremely hot and humid July day.

1. It’s the capital city of Canada.

2. It’s located in the province of Ontario, where the Ottawa River and the Rideau River meet.

3. The Parliament Hill and the Peace Tower at 92.2 m (302 ft) are visible from most parts of the city because the skyline is controlled by height restrictions.

4. Both English and French are the official languages.

5. The city population is over 1 million and it’s the fourth-largest city in Canada.

6. It’s one of the most visited places in Canada, with over 11 million visitors in 2018.

Here are some photos of the capital city.
