Sapphic Books To Make You Swoon!

Posted on February 9, 2023February 9, 2023

This Valentine’s Day, I thought I’d recommend a bunch of sapphic books that made me all warm and fuzzy. The ones that really grabbed my heart. It’s true what they say – you always remember how a story makes you feel, and this lot left me deep in a barrel of lurve. Ready for my mushy-smushy Valentine’s Day recommendations? Here goes… Continue reading » “Sapphic Books To Make You Swoon!”

I just spent the weekend in Liverpool, catching the women’s Merseyside derby at Anfield and strolling the docks (which will forever be Richard & Judy to me!). If you’re into women’s football and romance (because why settle for one when you can have both?), I’ve got two books for you.Hotshot dives into the drama, glory, and sapphic sparks of the Women’s Super League, while The Princess Match kicks it up a royal notch, pairing the Lionesses’ captain with the heir to the British throne.Both stories prove two universal truths: that, like The Beatles said, all you need is love, and that she loves you (yeah, yeah, yeah).You can find both Hotshot and The Princess Match for sale on all major stores, and also direct from my web shop: clarelydon.shop#lesbian #lesfic #lesbianfiction #lesbianromance #sapphic #queer #wlw #sportsromance #royalromance #theprincessmatch #hotshot ...

Happy sunny Friday from London Town! Five Things From My Week: The Princess Match: My royal-sports romance is going down a treat on Kindle, and that's all I can ask. If you've left a review, you're my hero. If not, two sentences would make my day. I'm so thrilled that ​The Princess Match​ is hitting a chord, and that you're loving Victoria & Ashleigh. Long may they reign! Total Diva! This past fortnight has been BIG. Not only did I fully launch The Princess Match, but I was also up for Writer Of The Year at this year's Diva Awards. Thanks to your votes, I came second to legendary Val McDermid, which I was pretty stoked with. I got a trophy and everything. It was quite the giddy evening! Fantasy Football: When it comes to supporting football teams, my wife and I are on opposing sides of the track. I'm Spurs, she's Arsenal. This week, Arsenal Women got to the Champions League final with an impressive win over Lyon, and we're flying to Lisbon to watch them try to beat the mighty Barcelona. Even I, a Spurs fan, will be a Gooner for a day. The things we do for love! Summer Sizzle: When the sun comes out, Londoners (for whom gardens are rare, mythical creatures) have three favourite pastimes: crowding into pub beer gardens or parks, drinking beer and soaking up gallons of vitamin D. It's a summer special I can well get behind. Beer + sunshine is the perfect cocktail to cure all ills. Easter Eggcellence: When my wife and I first got together, she bought me a Crunchie Easter Egg. It had pieces of honeycomb (the way to my heart) speckled through the shell, and it's never been bettered. She's tried to find another every year, but the shells are always just milk chocolate. Until this Easter, when she found a honeycomb-speckled egg in Australia. When she gave it to me, I nearly fainted with joy. She's a keeper! What are the highlights from your week?#lesbian #sapphic #queer #wlw #lesbians #girlswholikegirls #loveislove #equalityforall #lesbiansofig #lesbiansofinstagram #lesbiansofinsta #lesbianfollow #lesbianbook #lesbianauthor #lesbianwriter #lesbianbooks #lesbianuk #lesbianusa #queersofinstagram #queers #lgbtq #lesbianlondon #lgbtofinstagram #lesbianlife #lesbianpride #lesbianauthors #lesbianauthor ...

Libraries have always played a key role in my life, and I'm always thrilled when my books are borrowed from libraries all around the world. I'm particularly popular in Texan libraries, which is a sentence I never thought I'd write! Here's a shot of me among the stacks in The London Library, looking all literary.My reading journey started as a child visiting my local library in Westcliff-On-Sea, borrowing eight books at a time, always getting late fines (bad Clare!), but always constantly amazed and in awe of the adventures I went on through books.What are your favourite#amreadinge#booksbooksbooksi#bookso#readingaddictb#readabooki#readmorebooksa#readingforpleasure ##librariesp#londonlibraryaries #londonlibrary ...

Fab to attend the Kindle Storyteller Awards this week. This year, it was held in The London Library, a venue I've never been in before, but one that was very cool to visit. Do you have a favourite #London haunt? #lesbian #lesfic #sapphic #queer #wlw

Happy second birthday to The Christmas Catch! I had some fab reviews for my third festive #sapphic #romance, but this one - "I laughed so hard I had to pee!" - really made me smile. https://clarelydon.shop/products/the-christmas-catch-ebook #lesbian #lesfic #lesbianfiction #lesbianromance #sapphic #queer #wlw
