“The Sapphic Stories Book Club has been a huge blessing to me as a reader. The diverse selection of books has pushed me to read more outside of my usual genres, and has introduced me to fun and compelling queer stories that I may not have read otherwise. I highly recommend joining if you’re looking for a book club or even just looking to create a bigger and more inclusive TBR.”
