Here are Sandy’s top sapphic reads of 2023:
1. The Doc by Natalie Debrabandere
It is written by a foreign author set in foreign locales. It is a reality with regards to BDSM. I also was impressed that it shares how some of the world addressed the pandemic.
2. They Call Me Dr. Feelgoode by Aunt Georgia Lee
The representation of BIPOC and the issue of AIDS and its continuing impact. I love the strong characters the live life and have positive moral compasses they adhere too…yet allow for differences.
3. Love After Death by Hildred Billings
I love Hildred Billing’s books and this one was not her usual style. I like the fact that it involves so many focal characters and this story is so alive in a way that is brave and compassionate.
4. Pirates of Aletharia by Britney Jackson
I discovered this year that I like lesbian pirates and their adventures. This has the added piece of fantasy that I also find wonderful. Great start to a series.
5. Midlife is the Cat’s Meow by Miranda MacLeod and TB Markinson
It is LOL fun and addresses the amazing adventure of getting old as a sapphic centered person. If you need some fun this is a gem.
