This one's pretty nice. Though the preview for book 2 looks like it will focus on the other side characters, which would mean it'll be het.

It's pretty cute and fluffy, and probably the only superhero lesbook I could stand.

http://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?f=1295&t=1711995&hilit=Labyrinth+Lost

This one also looks good. I haven't finished reading it but it has been good so far. Probably a good read for Halloween.

>>2157203
>(and is Angel really an alien)?

Maybe. What you get are two somewhat contradicting stories about Angel's origin from two very, very unreliable sources. You'll have to make up your own mind.

I don't recall enough details to answer your first question.

Book 2 of the Girls summer series is out, not sure how to feel about the book.... I'm not used to series so it's maybe why.

>>2157298
I'm asking because I probably won't be finishing it. Then again, if she isn't really an alien, then the main part of that question is moot anyway.

It seems the Wicked thread has finally hit its bump limit. Tis a shame.

Dorothy/Ozma is such a good ship but doesn't have enough fan works. The MGM film hurt the Oz books image, as good as it is. No one wants to properly adapt the rest.

Is she, Isn't She?

>>2157802
Good case for why I take a peek at the ending before starting a book these days.

>>2157955

That's why you read the 2nd book.

>>2157961
"And then they broke up! Buy the sequel!" really doesn't leave me with any shits left to give for an author.

>>2157802

Thank you. Finished the 2 books and actually I could have gone just for the second one.

It's my first time reading about domestic violence in a lesbian relationship .

I believe the books have way too much scenes in it, the first one is basically erotica and the second one is pretty good but I feel like the long sex scenes on 10+ pages could make the plot even better if it was concentrated on something else.

3/5 for the first book and 4/5 for the second. Now I'm going to look if there any more book about domestic violence or rape between lesbian. A whole new world for me (I know my curiosity is not well placed).

>>2159043
I think someone posted a book with lesbian rape in the last thread, or could've been the one before that.

>>2159092

What a Wild Spirit Brings by Lyn

Do /u/ uses Wattpad? There's a really good book called The French Countess (gxg)

>>2159453
Yeah. I first signed up to read Kelly Quindlen's wattapad book actually.
There are some great non-published stories on there.

>>2157347
Angel is actually avery advanced android. At one point she crushes metal doors and shit and her hand is damaged, revealing metal and some blood.

And about her origins, as far as I recall there are several possible stories, Angel states that a group of scientists captured her and experimented with her in a digital world with NPC. Angel and the NPCs decided they wanted to escape so they merged all their "brains" (Those NPCs are like the subconcious part of the brain while mantaining her original personality). They got a body and Angel used fire to escape the facility.
On the other hand one of the scientist says that almost everything Angel says is bullshit but then Angel reveals that she had investigated the secret corporation and that they were investigation alien technology in that city and the scientist is speechless

TLDR: i'm not saying it's aliens... but it's aliens

>>2159483
Any recommendations?

Can anyone post susan x meagher the reunion and the right time?
Thanks

anyone have the magic baby series by scarlett cantrell read the summary seems like a intresting book maybe i cant find it anywhere. im also looking for valkyrie chronicles bloodlines by erik schubach if anyone has it by chance.

>>2159665
The French Countess is the most well developed gxg story I've read on there. The Only Exception by Wantingtofly
A Night With The Queen by Anime_Geek
Pursuing The Icequeen by Foreign Ghost
White as Snow by Clay Morebn
Sweet Lullaby by B3L0W Z3R0
I especially like this one because it's about a detective falling in love with her kidnapper (not your typical romance)
Remember by SkylerJaspera
This story is about a woman who lost her memory of her lover.
Raindrops by Dreamfreak contains a bunch of plot twists and there are several sequels for this series.

Most Wattpad gxg stories are shitty in my opinion. They can be full of grammatical errors and plot-holes, but if you dig hard enough you'll find some really good gxg that should be publish on Amazon. The recommendations above are one of the few that I believe can actually be publish on Amazon

Does anyone have Natural Family Disasters by Jae? It's the only book in the Shapeshifter series I'm missing.

>>2160666
I'm looking for that one as well. And if anyone has the Ylva version of Second Nature.

>>2160973
Im starting my year zero by rachel gold i found it in a torrent and am giving it a chance

>>2160973
I've downloaded so many books I feel overwhelmed and don't know what to start.

>>2161089
I have a habit of doing that myself I make folders within folders when I get a good bit of books in a folder then move to the next. I usually read a summery of random books I have and read the most interesting of a few if I dont like it part way through I repeat the process

Does the main character in Dragonoak get less annoying in the sequel? I really liked all the worldbuilding and the other characters in the first one, but I'm kinda hesitant to start on the sequel.

>>2161212
Depends on what about her annoys you.
She does get more confident and grows. But then... something happens.
Second book will also have a scenery change in the beginning, which gives it a different feel than the first one had.

Try reading an hour or two. Don't be afraid to drop it if you don't like it.

>>2161089

I am in the same situation, got so many books and dunno where to start all of them seems good.

>>2160973
Finishing 'Afterparty' by Daryl Gregory and am loving it. Maybe it is because I didn't have many expectations when I started, but what a surprise. Crossing my fingers so the ending doesn't let me down.

>>2161212
She's more grown up, more friendly and confident and uses her powers a lot more. That said something extremely brutal happens to her at the beginning of the second book (it's not rape).

>>2161338
Yeah, I was surprised it never got mentioned in this thread and I always forgot to mention it everytime I got here. It's pretty fun and kinda funny and the LI is really cool.

Yesss! Thanks nee-san.

I'm gonna be cheeky and ask for one more book, if anyone has it.
Always Alex by Robin Alexander. I have all her other books. I want to complete the collection.

>>2161338
I got interested at the start, but the more I got into it, the more I disliked Lyda and how much of an asshole/user/opportunist she is, which is a shame, cause the premise is pretty interesting and Ollie deserves better.

>>2161423
Thanks, I bought it anyway, since it was on discount on Ylva for this month (a dollar). A few fantasy/paranormal/horror stories are discounted. There's a free anthology about named 'When the Clock Strikes Thirteen' for those interested.

>>2157240

I enjoyed Not Your Sidekick as well. The first couple of chapters were slow but i glad i stuck with it. Yeah, after reading the preview for the second book I'm not all that excited about the second book. I may give it a read to see where it goes.

I'm now in the mood for a type of Master/Slave fantasy story (preferably historical setting) that's not rapey and kind of fluffy. If anyone has any recommendations I'd appreciate it. I've had a quick look at some of the recommendations in the link at the top but I've read a fair few of those already.

Question for the updated FF library.

When it comes to tags, there are a few standard tags I'm assigning to books, as long as they're applicable.
So each book should have one tag from each category:

Type: Fiction | Non-fiction
Pairing: Butch-Butch | Femme-Femme | Butch-Femme
Target audience: Teen | Young Adult | Adult

Are there any other categories of tags you think can be assigned to nearly any book that you would like me to use?

>>2161762
Thank you but which file in the rar is the book? I cant find an epub or mobi

There's only one file in the rar. (Not Your Sidekick -CBLee.epub)
Make sure you didn't extract the epub as an archive too. Then you end up with a bunch of xml and html files.

I was also thinking about drama and angst. I know there are some here who like to avoid those most of the time.
Maybe I'll just tag books as angst free or drama free where applicable.

that sounds like a good idea maybe also label if its part of a series or not

just going to say it, but I LOVE YOU. It's so difficult to know if a book is femme-femme or butch-femme on goodread. Always end up with femme-butch books whenI look for femme-femme

Any strongly recommended /u/ sci-fi? Someone recommended me a copy pasta Mass Effect and it was horrible.

Also, anyone recommend anymore Superhero /u/ books like from the OP?

>>2163752
Ammonite and Slow River... the latter is more cyberpunk.

Are either Mirror Mirror or Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister as gay as Wicked?

>>2160973

Nothing /u/. Just xenofiction stuff like Seekers. I know Warrior Cats has gay characters but they're all male.

Please please share "Her Lesson in Love" by Heidi Lowe? It's my bday month this would be a great gift

>>2160973
Just finished Alaskan Bride, it was a light read and I enjoyed it.
I tried reading for the second time Midnight in Orlando and Love by Design but it seem that I can't get into them... again.
Right now I'm reading Será Nuestro Secreto by Emma Mars. It's in spanish and I'm liking so far. If you know spanish you should read 101 Razones Para Odiarla by the same author, I really liked it and has the rivals become lovers trope.

>>2160973
Roses in the Sand.
It's pretty much fanfic-tier, but I couldn't decide on what to go with so I went with whatever was free on smashwords.

>>2163752

'Santa Olivia' by Jacqueline Carey is the superhero lesbian novel we all need and deserve. Has a bit of fantasy, veeeeery soft sci-fi going on too, but the superhero part is what makes the novel, really. It has been recommended around here many times, and if you have not tried it, worth giving it a go.

Like that kind onee-sama said, 'Ammonite' and 'Slow River' by Nicola Griffith are some of the best /u/ sci-fi around (I didn't like 'Ammonite' much, personally, but it was a good novel, it really was).

'Solitaire' by Kelley Eskridge. The /u/ element is not very prominent, but it is there, and the sci-fi side is pretty good.

'Afterparty' by Daryl Gregory, a dystopia I thought was going to be terrible and was actually quite decent. Not very hard sci-fi, but enough elements to make it interesting.

'The Child Garden' by Geoff Ryman if you don't mind novels that are bleak as fuck and twice as long. Beautifully written and original, and weird as hell. I adore this novel, but yeah, depends on the kind of material you are looking for (please ignore if you are in the mood for light reading...)

And speaking of novels that are bleak as fuck, original and weird, 'The Fortunate Fall' by Raphael Carter, heavy cyberpunk, great setting and atmosphere, but one fourth of the novel is an absolute mindfuck. The last fourth, sadly. I would still recommend it, just for the cyberpunk elements.

'A Door Into Ocean' by Joan Slonczewski. This woman knows a lot about science, so surprise, you will have science in your science fiction. I have not read it, but it's in my pile. I have heard it is very well written, but a bit preachy, so grab with caution.

Is fanfiction welcome here?

>>2163213

>Is fanfiction welcome here?
I'd wouldn't mind it as long if it's good writing.

>>2164329
It would have to be really good stuff since there's usually a fanfic thread up.

>>2164046
I considered Alaskan Bride but was a bit turned off by the flowery prose. I'I feeling a lighthearted trashy romance so to speak.

I've just read a Spelling Mississippi by Marnie Woodrow and I am delighted to recommend it. For those of you who like books for books, and can stand a little bit of het (one of the main characters has a husband), nothing explicit or disturbing, mind you, this is a book for you. It's a bit slow (romance develops very late in the book), but it has sense since it features Mississippi and New Orlinz, and the writing is exceptional- beautiful, smart and witty. The book's on mobilism

>>2164441
Yeah. It's on mobilism.

Finished it and there are two attempted ones, but they don't go anywhere. After the altercation at the end though, I feel like there should've been more. It was a nice book though. Felt like it was cut-off, then again, I probably wanted to see more of them when they were together instead of them revealing they have interest in each other and a chapter or so later they break-up because plot reasons.

>>2163896

It's less than 50k words, was published this year, and only costs $3.99 on Smashwords. Highly unlikely you'll find an epub unless someone buys it and shares it.

>>2164282
I wasn't crazy about A Door Into Ocean. It was very high sci-fi, but also very dull. It's well written though, so if you dig Heinlein and Herbert, you might give it a go. It just didn't click for me.

I read how to wrangle a woman by susan x meagher and really enjoyed it. I kept picturing brooklyn as Kate mckinnon.

"Due to a delay with editing, it looks likely that Grounded will not be released in November as planned."

Just finished Georgia Beers' A Little Bit of Spice and I'm a little ticked off that they wound up together at the end. Not that I didn't want them to, but Andrea at the end pissed me off.

>>2167338
Because she should've taken that whole "you are a nice fuck but that's really all so you really should take that new job and piss off" more graciously? And no, the truth that Kendall was just trying to run her life and decide what's best for her unilaterally doesn't make it any better. You're right, they shouldn't have gotten back together, but not because of Andrea. That was a shitter even for the low low standards of mandatory second act breakups for dumb reasons.

>>2167355
I'm not saying they shouldn't have gotten together because of Andrea. Just her thought process at the end where it made it all Kendall's fault pissed me off, because she could've said something. You know, use her mouth to TALK? Sure, Kendall could've also decided to talk instead of basically telling her to fuck off, but instead of confronting her (like she always did prior to that and getting in her face like usual when something didn't go her way), Andrea just went 'okay, fine' and went away.

It was for the sake of it as you (I think) say.

>>2164046
Alaskan Bride was fun but it was pretty short for the $10 I ended up paying for it because I felt guilty for pirating it. I really wish there were more light historical romances, tho. All the outdoorsy stuff in the book made me want the Oregon Trail with lesbians.

Kindle doesn't digest epubs (afaik). You can convert epubs very easily into mobi which is a format kindle can read.

If you're on Windows you should look into a program called Calibre. It acts as your digital library, and with it you can convert digital publications from pretty much any format to your desired one. You can also go a step further and connect Calibre with your Kindle to sync the libraries.

One warning about pdfs though. Kindle isn't exactly stellar at displaying them and converting from pdf to epub or mobi is often a real pain.

And to answer your original question, yes you can easily transfer files to your Kindle with via usb and sd cards.

>>2176443
It got released a bit ago, and I bought it because piracy takes time. It's not as good as SYttC IMO, I feel the reader doesn't get enough insight into what's going on on the love interest's side of things. That said if you liked Jenny from the first book, buy it because it's her romance this time.

does anyone have The Hood of Locksley (Urban Fairytales #7) by Erik Schubach

My Internet was recently Dead, so instead of searching for new ebooks I had to go through the Calibre library, and some of the novels I hadn't read yet.

It was a rather peculiar experience, let's just say. Some weren't even /u/ at all, like the Selina Rosen novels (which sucks cause they are otherwise fun), or Baudino's Dragonborn series and some only in small (if significant) ways, like John Varley's Gaea series (which was a decent read nonetheless).

Didn't really find anything I wholeheartedly would /rec/. Simpson's Several Devils I think was fun. Eyde's Tricky Wisdom - loved Olivia. Fantastic love interest. But that one was in some random IRC books collection thing, I think. Mindancer's Future Dream was surprisingly cute. Blind Eye Mysteries were interesting, on account of having a blind protagonist (it's multi pov though). Also features a chauvinistic bastard who has the gal to be /het/. Valent's Amazon series is seriously odd, but kinda entertaining after book one. Rush's Amazon has a nice cover and a lousy finale (the bad guy revives a good half-dozen times). MacOwl's Talking to Trees wasn't too bad, but a bit too new-age-witches. Collin's Mystic Women drove me nuts with the odd use of "but". "The weather is but nice today."
Oh, Faraday's Left Hand of Justice was pretty decent. Short UF in 19th century steam punkish Paris or something.

It's a long shot but any recs for human/robot /u/ stuff?

>>2177832
A Date with Angel ... hypothetically. It's more a technicality than something the book explores, though. Diana Jean's Tokyo Love has... some element of it. But it's not truly about it, either.

Both good reads, but probably not too satisfying if you're looking specifically for some AI/human stuff.
On a side note, you could play the textgame 'Choice of Robots', where you build your own robot and can, depending on what you pick, romance it ...

>>2177832
Pirate's Fortune (Supreme Constellation series #4) by Gun Brooke is about a bio-android.

Two things:
1) I'm trying to remember some /u/ erotica/romance with a shoe fetish. Had also quite some/quite a bit of a het-element (a threesome, I think?). Mainly bugs me for completionist's sake, I know I've read it, but I have no idea who wrote it or what it was called. I'm fairly sure the older protagonist worked in a shoe shop, and she gets a housemate, for financial reasons, who, coincidentally, researches the history of shoes. Or somesuch.
2) I've looked around a bit for /u/ steam punk. I don't suppose anyone has Sadie Swift's Miss Alice Lovelady... or Vivian Vane's Princess Serena...? They are both pretty short and of questionable quality, so I'm somewhat reluctant to just buy them ...

Has anyone else been keeping up with the Shadow Campaign series? I remember picking that book up about a year or two ago from a /u/lit thread.

If you guys like fantasy colonial era war stuff and politics then it's highly recommended for me.

>>2178626
I have set aside the first book for ages; is there actually a major /u/ theme?

>>2178626

Still on book 2, planning to read the rest soon. Book 2 has a lot of /u/ content.

>>2178657
>major /u/ theme

What does that even mean. Eh. It has interesting characters and a nicely weird story. It's not a romance story, at all. There is no mistaking the MC isn't gay, though.

>>2178660
It means what it says. Is there some major gay or perhaps bisexual character? It doesn't need to be a romance for that.

Just having some female protagonist around in some random book isn't exactly /u/, at least for me. Might still be a good book, obviously, but I'm wondering what the /u/ factor is here ...

>>2178671

Because Winter Ihernglass, one of the main characters, is a lesbian. She gets a girlfriend in book 2.

>>2178671
If you are talking about the plot, it's not /u/ at all. It's mainly about war, it is an epic fantasy. Book 1 had barely any /u/ content. Book 2 /u/ content is in Winter's POV.

>>2178707
That counts in my book (no pun intended). Of course, it's sometimes a bit of a shaky definition; like in Lee's Ninefox Gambit, which is basically Baru Cormorant in space - except that while the protagonist once casually remembers an ex-girlfriend, there's absolutely no romantic content at all; no boy- or girlfriends or husbands or wives or anything. So frankly I wouldn't generally recommend it here, even if maybe the protagonist is a hypothetical lesbian.

Still better than /het/ romance, though.

Reminds me of Angeline Trevena Paper Duchess series; it's basically about women rights in the broader sense, but also has some /u/ stuff. It's some sort of dystopian setting; haven't quite finished with the first book. Didn't know that one was /u/ at all, so a pleasant surprise there.

Also read the first Rayne Whitmore book; some sort of urban fantasy /u/ thing, but the writing was just plain bad. There's better wattpad stuff around.
And speaking of /u/ UF, there's Ryan Love's Darktown series; basically about a demoness enslaving a huntress. It's pretty bad, too. Also, rape, of course, but, heck, it's a demon, they're supposed to be evil - the novels have other problems. Lack of proofreading the most obvious one.
Aaaand Sean Hayden's Demonkin series. 2nd book is /u/-ish. Comes with the stereotypical, overpowered Mary Sue uf-heroine. Also pretty bad, although perhaps not quite as bad as those other two.
...
Didn't have much luck lately picking anything good, thinking about it ...

>>2178657
First book is light on /u/ content but makes it obvious that she's gay. It also alternates from her pov to Marcus's pov

Second book adds another pov which is the queen and she stays as a mc from book 2 onwards

It's a shame no one else is up to book 4 yet because I really want to talk about it

Im about to read the traitor baru cormorant for the first time. It sounds as though I may need emotional support to get through it

I felt super bad when Bobby, still found it funny that Marcus is the only one in the inner circle that doesn't know Winter is a girl among other things.

Also Jane being the final boss because she went full yandere over Winter

Share book 4 please? Mobilism links for book 4 are dead

Are there any good and new High Fantasy, Urban Fantasy, or Sci-Fi? Nothing boring or dull ether. Bonus points if it's a sudo-Harem like book where the main character has a lot of woman swarming them like in Tenchi Muyo

I really love Strangers Together over on Fiction Press but it's the only one I could find where it was a decent Human Female who fell in love with a Elf.
A lot of the High Fantasy, Urban Fantasy, and also Sci-Fi where the Main Female Lead is suppose to be strong and independent but constantly requires saving from her "love" or lovers time and time again always needing a dominate woman

It's really annoying honestly. Like in Iron & Velvet Kate Kane Paranormal Investigator or almost the same identical thing. Fuck they even have the same FIRST name, "Witch Wolf Series - Preternatural Private Investigator and Paranormal Huntress Kassandra Lyall"

>>2178990

I felt like Bobby's transformation and then sudden death came out of nowhere. Don't get me wrong, I was expecting it, but in a more gradual way, maybe stretching out over the next book? I also wanted her to wreck more shit when in gargoyle-mode. Still pretty sad about it desu

However, I always got the feeling that Jane was going to be final boss in some form or other. At least for Winter anyway

Overall I'm pretty hype for the next book, especially if we get to learn a bit more about how shady as fuck Janus is

>>2178801

Maybe the /u/lit 3rd book dry spell is finally ending. I could go for more Divine Touched, Pegasi & Prefects, Hell's Belle, and probably others I forgot because their 3rd books continued to be MIA for too many years.

I'm still mad about that 2nd DoM book. Dropped it like a hot potato when the mc has sex with some random guy who shows up right when someone is trying to kill her. I can't get over how dumb it was that she escapes with him and then after she's safely away decides she has no choice but to get fucked by him anyway. Still like the first book at least but god damn that shit angered me.

Gail Carriger is a best selling author who writes mainly het urban fantasy with steampunk.

So yeah, her new /u/ book is lesbian urban fantasy with steampunk.

>>2179934
WOO

>>2179931

Blueball hall(Kayle Bashe), The Raven and the Reindeer(T. Kingfisher), Ash(Malinda Lo does Huntress also count?) is the only ones i can think of.

The Raven and the Reindeer is retelling of the snow queen. & Ash is inspired by the Snow Queen.

>>2179938
>Ash(Malinda Lo does Huntress also count?)

I'd say neither of those are children's books. Just an opinion, though.

>The Raven and the Reindeer(T. Kingfisher)

This one's fantastic.

>>2179934
Thanks for the link. Although the blurb doesn't exactly sound inspired. But more UF is always welcome.

Talking about UF, anyone read Krystal Blue by Destiny Hawkins? There's some positive reviews, and then one that tells me I should stay the fuck away, but I'm not sure what to trust.

And talking about fantasy, I just finished Duen's Spectral, which is some weird reincarnation/time-travel/fated-lovers/I-don't-even-know-what thing. It was ... weird. I don't think I really got the plot. Features snakes as cocks and other weird body parts in a minor role.

Next up I think Zoe Reed's Breaking Legacy. Looks like solid fantasy.

>>2179934
Sounds like a much, much nicer version of Gunfighter and Gearhead (which I thought was shit).

Thank you.

>>2179647
Danke!

Hi does anyone have a copy of Rising From the Ashes: The Chronicles of Caymin by Caren J. Werlinger? Thanks in advance

Hi! Anyone has any recommend for fantasy /u/ romance with a happy ending? Thanks :)

Recently finished Ancillary Justice series.

I am unsure to put it in the yuri category because the author uses female pronoun for everyone. That is how the race addresses themselves. In the end, you never know if they really are a woman or male. (Unless the main character meets a different race that addresses people differently) And there are several sex scenes/romance plot thread.

Thoughts?

>>2183135
Same Anon here. Forget to add the badass cover.

>>2183135
>several sex scenes

Yet it ain't clear about gender? Sounds...interesting in itself to find out how that's written.

I wish library's had a queer section. It'd make finding stories so much easier.

Are there any good mythological stories with a lesbian lean? I'm reading a lot of folklore lately.

>>2183135
Great series, although I would've hoped specifically for the third book to go a bit "deeper"; like this re-education which sounds vaguely sinister yet at the same time kinda-maybe-not-as-bad as prison comes up quite a lot, but in the end it's never really explored.
Plus a few other things.

But for being so, well, "feminist/gender political", I like how it's not too political, actually. A bit too much maybe in the first novel, when this whole "I can't figure out whether this is a male" thing is so exaggerated, but by the 2nd book it's just part of the setting and works surprisingly well.

And Sword of Justice is such an awesome protagonist, of course. Really doesn't coddle people around "her". And she sticks to her vengeance, not like those do-gooders who constantly have to wrestle with themselves; she has a goal, and sticks to it.

>>2183171
It's not like there's graphical sex, just some relationships and such going in, mostly in the background.
It's basically a romance free series (if it involves a crush by a male guy on the technically-female protagonist, and the same guy in a somewhat casual relationship with someone else later on), which is why I probably wouldn't put it on a "/u/ scifi list", but ... err....let's say it's at least "/u/ friendly" and "very nearly /het/ free". That's gotta count for something.

Does somebody have Zoe Reed's In Spirit and Truth? I'm in the mood for werewolf action and I can't find it (torrents are dead).

>>2183202
The Dark Wife is a classic.

>>2183118
Recently I've read Breaking Legacies and The Broken Coil. They're both fantasy with happy endings.

>>2185249
Thank you very much anon, i love you.

Just finished Necrotech. It's a cyberpunk action-on-every-page book that starts with the heroine's girlfriend being killed. She's clearly bi, as there's a lot of sexual innuendo with male characters through the books, but according to her she prefers women for relationships ... either way, it was an entertaining read. Lots of punching people in the face all around.

Next up I think Perry's Dark Communion, some dark fantasy novel, which starts with rape (am I going for sunshiney books or what...); not sure whether the heroine's "special friend" is an actual lover or just platonically worshiping her, but I'll find out.

>>2185530
I like those, for the most party. They're a pretty cute couple.

Does anyone have The Mountain Between Us by Marian Snowe? Thanks!

I really liked Something in the Wine by Jae, can anyone recommend something similar?

Just a grounded romance without anything /too/ dramatic between young adults.

>>2183171

Different anon. From what I've heard of AJ, and I haven't read it yet but this is what was explained to me, they refer to everything as 'she' because the character starts out as the artificial intelligence onboard a space ship, before being placed into a body. Again, haven't read it, just remember what was told to me.

>>2186130
Different anon who's read the first two books. Or at least the first book and most of the second, I can't remember. But the reason the main character is a "she" is because the civilization she hails from doesn't differentiate between the genders (they are human though). The main character is an AI occupying an actual human body which gets hijacked by shipboard AIs as ambulatory appendages of the shipboard computer called "ancillaries". She has been separated from her ship - a "justice" class vessel - after it gets destroyed mid-flight, and returns to her people to work out why it was destroyed (there was an in-flight mutiny). The main character likely isn't female, based on the unflattering way her current body is talked about (also a terrible singer, apparently), but it is totally up for debate.

Tl;dr

Most of the characters are referred to as "she" as part of the culture, even though the cast is a mix of biologically and/or socially male and female players. Basically there is one set of pronouns, but two genders. gender roles, gender presentation, and sexuality is up to the individual's personal discretion.

>>2186144
Dude, use the spoiler tag.

>>2186129
There's a free epilogue to Something in the Wine. I forget what it is called though.
Have you tried the other books from Jae, specifically Under a Falling Star and Departure from the Script? They're her other lightest reads so you should like them too.

Spectrum, Atramentum by MJ Duncan has ending drama that is unnecessarily amped up but they're light reads too.

>>2186149
It's basically the blurb, I didn't spoil anything.

>>2186150
>Free epilogue
It's called Seduction for Beginners. It's basically their first time and it's really short. Like 5-7k words or something.

>>2186144
>>2186149
Err, I don't think all that was quite correct anyway.

First of all the relationship between the original human and the spaceship isn't "an AI hijacking a human body", rather, the original human, the protagonist, gets connected to the ship, kinda like an upload process, thus effectively becoming the ship. She _is_ the ship, just as, when they start connecting other human bodies to her, she is all of them, too.

Also, when the ship is destroyed it's not about figuring out what happened, she knows that, after all, "it happened to her". It might be that she was disconnected for the final moments due to (reasons), I don't remember that part; but either way, she isn't investigating anything, she's out to take vengeance for what happened, which isn't something I'd describe as "mutiny". But that part is complicated so just read the series, ha.

The gender thing is right though. In the Radch, you might get males with feminine faces and breasts and female with typical male stature or people with neither etc., making it impossible to tell at a glance what gender anyone is, so, consequentially, their culture did away with it.

So just in case anyone's looking for some angst in this sea of fluffiness
Switch: Two women who were switched at birth fall in love.
Waiting: a pregnant woman falls in love with her comatose wife's daughter
The odd couple: two women who are connected in a really fucked up way fall in love
Strange Bedfellows: the leader of an evangelical conversion therapy group falls for a prostitute
All of these are by Q Kelly.
All have unconventional set ups, all are really full of heavy angst and all have endings where the couple end up together.
Also I just read Everything Leads to You. It has a little angst towards the end but otherwise it's a light entertaining read about a girl who does set design for movies and a little mystery.

>>2186308
I've read a couple of books by Q Kelly but none from that list. Maybe I'll give them a chance.
I'd like to recommend some angst too.

Denial by Jackie Kennedy
Sanctuary by I. Beacham
Just Physical and Hidden Truths by Jae
On the Outside by Siera Maley

All of them have happy endings too.

>>2186308
>by Q Kelly.
All In The Family is pretty good. Lot of non resolved issues but very good and very unusual.

>>2186308
I like the odd couple but I have to warn you about what the women's connection is.
One women's son committed suicide years ago so she is surprised to see a child who looks exactly like her son when he was a kid. She concludes that the child is a grandson her son never told her about. She tries to get to know the mum and she learns that the child was conceived in a gang rape that her son was a part of.
This is basically the first quarter of the book.

>>2186415
>facepalm.png

Fuck's sake.

>>2186262
I was being vague. And I'd call it hijacking. the people are gone only the AI remains. And I think it's made very clear that the reason they did away with pronouns is that they are basically super inclusive of what we would call the transgender community. It's not that there's a female with male stature, it's a man (biologically) who presents as female. They're still humans.

>>2186434
I read that part as some sort of extensive cosmetic surgery or playing around with genetics or something. Like the Lt. in the 2nd book who casually gets a different eye color. Such things seem to be trivial in that society. But frankly it never goes in-depth with those Radch social views; after all, most of the books don't take place in core-Radch space anyways (which isn't the true core of their Empire anyway, more like a colony).

And I still don't really agree with the AI thing.
There is no AI, therefor it can't hijack anything. It's just a human-mind that gets mutilated in the process of shoving various technology into her human body and then connected to some complex ship-hardware, making her 'more than human' (or less...), and, yes, very AI-like. But it's her, not some external entity that takes her over. The ancillaries, sure, their bodies are hijacked, their minds erased - but they are hijacked by her, not a created AI. Even when as the ship with a bunch of ancillaries she has become something very similar to an AI, she is not the same as for example those station AIs that appear in the story.
Well, that's my interpretation anyway. The precise processes involved aren't ever really described, I think. And common attributes of AIs and humans don't really work in the setting; apparently "minds" are perfectly capable of going from some sort of biological bodies to artificial ones/computers and back, and there's technology or methods around that make it possible to program human minds like AIs, so who knows where the actual division is ...

Just finished baru cormorant and now i am dead inside

>>2186308
>Switch by Q Kelly.
Could someone upload that? Didn't find it on mobilism.

>>2186434
>>2186523

The impression I got is that the ancillaries are basically zombie soldiers. People (enemy soldiers, dissidents, whoever, but generally non-citizens from captured populations IIRC) who got turned into vegetables and then cyborgized up so that ship AI's can drive them around as needed.

>>2186415
>the spoiler
Holy fucking shit. That's fucked up, it reminds me of The Fortune Teller's Daughter by Diane Wood.
How old are both protags? I guess there will be some kind of age gap.

>>2186526
S-senpai, I'm scared. The summary sounds cool, but you are dead inside. How could I start it?

>>2187077
Just don't? Nobody's forcing you.

>>2187077
You could start by opening the book and read page 1.

>>2187056
Not a big gap. One is mid thirties, the other early forties if I remember correctly.

>>2187077
Its a very very very good book
Just ever so slightly devastating

>>2186700
Yeah, but again, the ship is no AI, it's a person. That's what I'm going on about.

>>2187077
People exaggerate. It's not nearly as bad as some other doom&gloom literature out there, where everybody suffers for all eternity and everything descends into some sort of perpetual hell ...

Heck, personally I found Dragonoak more depressing; so far anyway. And Baru doesn't have a scene like Salbine Sisters when the protagonist lies there waiting to die in some godforsaken prison, absolutely innocent, yet completely devastated by her fate.

Which isn't to say that Baru is happy tale. But it could be much worse, and thanks to Baru being the sort of distant person that she is, it largely stays away from emotions.

>>2187056
Not very big. One woman is 41 and had her kid at 17, the other is 34 and had hers at 30.
Both are out lesbians by the beginning of the story.

>>2187077
Might be a huge spoiler to say, but the title of the book is accurate in the saddest way.

>>2187098
I just remembered when Dragonoak 2 went completelt insane with the torture scene or how she described being impaled on a large rock after jumping off a mountain, only to heal right up. Jesus that book was surprisingly graphic.

>>2187098
I think the reason Baru hurts so much is that she does turn out to be a monster in the end. She's not an innocent sufferer but someone who has done some evil shit and reached her desired outcome because of it.

>>2187103
But that's obvious very quickly, isn't it? Oh, she fights for all the right reasons - understandable revenge, the independence of her country, and, of course, her personal sexuality, but I never felt as if those were a necessity: she would do the same thing just for power, too. The joy of reaching out into world and altering it ...
We're just lucky she has some decent goals.

Maybe it didn't shock me as much as I already read some comparable novels before. Monza dismantles a country in Best Served Cold for personal vengeance. Mara drives her own husband into suicide so she can rule herself in the Empire series. Hekat in the Godspeaker trilogy is a fundamentalist fanatic, and later an evil Empress. Rhylie in Goddess of Decay is out for personal vengeance, as well, no matter the cost, and the cost is staggering.

So, yeah, Baru is still the number one traitor, but as with everything one gets used to it. For me, personally, the biggest mistake the book made was the title: I hadn't read much about it, and wouldn't have expected half of what then happened if the title hadn't warned me. That makes things a lot less emotionally involved, I think, when you're already anticipating it happening ...

Damn that ending, tho. I love she basically became disabled. I was expecting Tain Hu to get the knife, only to get drowned.

bout to start reading Icehole. I love lovecraftian fiction, but I have an inherent problem with one of the main characters being actually named "Lovecraft". Makes me feel like the novel will be cheesy and half-assed in all the worst ways.

I personally think the writing does everything in all the right ways but Kiera Dellacroix wrote my favorite /u/ books and I'll probably never stop mourning her quiet disappearance.

Just finished reading State of Emergency (State of Emergency #1) by Kathy L. Salt, loved it. Anyone can recommend me something similar, please?

I haven't read many /u/ books this year and I want to change that. I can't remember the last time I saw a recent release/suggestion that jumped out at me. I think it was back when Atramentum came out which was good but that came out ages ago.

Are there any recent books without het/cheating/immature drama? I could do with a relaxing book for the weekend.

>>2193391
I recently read and enjoyed Perfect Pairing by Rachel Spangler
I think it was released this summer

>>2190908

Thank you so much! Just finished the first one, took so long because I didn't want it to end.

Any suggestions for steamy/explicit titles? Or are those type of stories found in fanfics?

Just finished Santa Olivia and Not Your Sidekick and they're pretty good though I do find the writing a bit strange at times.

Has anyone read Cheyenne Blue's books, if so what'd you think? The Outback QLD setting for her Girl Meets Girl books has me intrigued, but I'd rather not suffer through some half-arsed portrayal of said setting.

>>2193862

Winter Penington's Kassandra Lyall series. The crime procedural part is pretty meh and predictable, but you're not here for that.

>>2193869
Heh. Thanks.

>>2193897

You can also try and read Steps to Submission by Lexie X. They're on mobilism.

Linda norths the dreamer her angel and the stars was a bit weird. There was something a bit stilted about the writing. Especially the dialogue

Or just dig around Kindle releases of a genre. Can be quite amusing at times; there's really a lot of ... weird stuff out there.

Finding something featuring /u/ content isn't easy, but occasionally there's something with at least some. Blaze Ward's White Craine springs to mind, although without a sequel it's not clear yet whether it doesn't switch to a /het/ route.
Or CJ Perry's Dark Communion (demi-human rape warning ...). That's at least clear in the protagonist's inclinations. Or maybe KC Alexander's Nekrotech (or maybe not; the girlfriend is dead and the protagonist is bi, so...).

So with everybody talking about the handmaiden in the live action general, has anyone here read the original novella ? (pic related)

>>2194800
Sure. It's pretty good. Not my favorite /u/ novel or anything but well-written, with characters that actually have some personality and an interesting historical setting and all that.

End was a bit weird, in my opinion.

It's also relatively "dark". Not doom and gloom, but not exactly a heart-warming romance or anything either.

>>2191884
I do. I have particular recommendations though and rarely enjoy offerings.

>>2179613
>Daughter of Mystery series
Well, I read it, and it was good. Oddly, the second book was the one with the most romance. The third was not a romance, but the plot was fascinating. I hope we'll see another.

I don't know whether to ask this here or in the fanfic thread. Do you get secondhanded embarrassment when reading fictions? Over what?

>Kassandra Lyall series

Would someone mind spoiling the relationship development? This feels like it has the potential to become annoying and stupid, but, a little over half-way into the first book, it just scraped by that and still has me interested, though wary.

>>2196003

Pretty straightforward vampire x werewolf. I remember some light bdsm and some 3some, but I read it years ago.

>>2196005
It mostly has this weird "we might do this polygamy thing ... but then maybe not" dynamic going on. Or at least that bugged me throughout the books.

But it's not the type of literature to take too seriously anyway; the mysteries are idiotic (can't believe how stupid the main character is a few times), characters, well, forget it, and the writing isn't precisely prose for the ages either.

Still would read the next one, not that it seems to happen anytime soon, ha.

>>2196007

Ah yeah polygamy. Her other book (Rosso Lussuria Series) has a heavy polygamy theme. Book 1 is monogamous and full of VampireXVampire debauchery. Book 2 took a weird turn with Demons and clitdicks.

Rosso Lussuria is a harem series. I think the final tally was 4 or 5 sharing each other? Anyway, I suggest reading book 1 for the nonstop sex scenes and skip book 2, unless you don't mind polygamy and clitdicks.

>>2196013
Yeah, that series is rather ridiculous. Although I think it's amusing that it's (kinda) a sub collecting a bunch of doms. Not the other around, as it'd usually go.

But the plot is way too ridiculous. Especially the 2nd novel I think, where they travel to some other vampire ... hive? I think they fuck like half a dozen times before anything actually happens.

And the clitdicks ... wasn't there something with how she wanted to blow them off and those evil-demon-vampire-sadist-things have some sort of hang-up about blowjobs or something? Gotta love that sort of imagination ...

>>2196018

I don't really remember much of Rosso Lussuria, the only thing I can remember is there's a lot of sex.

And I think the demon had two forms. One that was normal with demonic features with no clitdick, and another one that is big and hairy? with clitdick. From what I understood, she just got big enough that her clit turned into a dick.

>>2196021
Yeah, I'm not entirely sure about all the details either. Especially since Midnight Hunters also feature clitdicks (and is equally sex-focused).

I do remember a knife-play scene (well, they're vamps, no need to be squeamish). I think that's the only one in /u/ I read. Just like Alison Kaine is the only one that features fire play (heck, I didn't even know that that was a thing. Much edifying, that series).

>>2196098
I'd say that particular prank went far enough and the aftermath was very nice.

>>2196098
heh, gotta love that trope.

audiobook suggestions? i got an audible free trial so i wouldn't mind some f/f lit.

i like fantasy, hot/cold sexy types of relationships forming, and anything that's not historical or set in high school.

currently reading Breaking Legacies and quite enjoying it so far

Of Fire and Stars by Audrey Coulthurst

Story is similar to Nightshade. Princess going to another kingdom to be wed, falls for the sister. I'd say it's a better version of nightshade.

>>2197192
If you find any, let me. The ones I can think of are either urban fantasy harems or some sort of SM arrangement.

Otherwise maaaybe Sam Ryan's Dynasty series, where in the first book the protagonist gets to "observe" a FFF relationship, and I suppose in the vaguest sense Hildred Billings' Ren'Ai Rensai, where the two protagonists are in a permanent relationship, but both have another lover outside of that (and the occasional random stranger for extra fun...). But that's more open-relationship than I proper threesome.

Oh, and Susanna Valent's The Amazon series, now that I remember. Yeah. That's an actual three-women-relationship thing, later on. It's about some political conservative alliance taking power in the US and how women/lesbians try to deal with it ...
... I think it was written in part as a reaction to Bush, but it might fit Trump nicely, too, so why not, ha.

All those feature quite an amount of erotic scenes, which isn't surprising, although they all have some fairly okay plots, too. They even have the occasional surprising development (well, the threesome was the one for the Amazon series, so I guess I shamelessly spoiled that one...).

Thank you so much, I'll go with the Amazon series one first and try the others after.

It's weird there is not so many books about lesbian triad, I always thought it was fairly know and sort of common in the lesbian community

>>2197935
Lesbian romance fiction is all about falling in love at first sight, finding their 'soul mate' and other ridiculous concepts.

Occasionally there's some open-relationships and such, but a permanent threesome they actually go through with ... well, I can't think of one (Amazon thing aside). Might be one buried somewhere but if so I haven't found it yet.

>>2198029
I hate when they get together pretty early on and the rest of the book is full of cheesy scenes.

Can anyone recommend some good slow-burn romances? (no sci-fi/fantasy pls)

>>2198184
You should try Emily O'Beirne's books.

>>2198198
Thanks! I've read them all except Points of Departure. I don't know if that one fits the bill but it looks promising.

>>2197935
>sort of common in the lesbian community
Not more or less common than in any other community because polyamory and homosexuality have fuck-all to do with each other...?

Does anyone have Killer Rayne (The Rayne Whitmore Series #2)

Does anyone have MOTH by S.E. Diemer?
It's free on Kindle Unlimited.

>>2198689
I read the first and tried to stick with the second but ... it's just atrocious. Some good ideas, but that writing, seriously ...


I'm currently reading Translucid by diPietro. Scifi, with an amnesiac protagonist in a lesbian marriage. Granted, I don't know if they stick together, since it's unclear who may or may not have betrayed her, on account that she doesn't remember anyone, but at least it starts /u/, which is still kinda rare with scifi...

>>2198754
Considering how many people on goodreads go out of their way to mention that the MC is pansexual I'm guessing this is another book that looks good on the surface but disappoints in the /u/.

>>2198769
Probably. The protagonist already commented on it, but I decided to enjoy it as long as it lasts. She does seem to like her likeable waifu, but, what the heck, maybe she's killed in an alien invasion or whatever ...

I could look at the 2nd book obviously, but sometimes I like to live dangerously. *adjusts sunglasses*

Well, done. It's relatively short and fast-paced, so there isn't really much in terms of relationship development. Doesn't go het and nobody gets raped either, but it's left in the air for sequels on whether anything actually comes of it or not ...

Still, fun enough read.

Telford's 'The Housemistress' if you have a fetish for sexy French teachers and want a book playing around the classic "girl's school dorm"-trope ...

>Telford's 'The Housemistress' if you have a fetish for sexy French teachers and want a book playing around the classic "girl's school dorm"-trope ...

>>2198889

really everything Telford writes has this

What about her Prisonworld books? Are they any good? I'm not sure I like the idea of them, but who knows ...

>>2198889
Read the 2nd book also, Fragments. Let me just put it this way: godfuckingdamnit. Doesn't even make any sense.
Basically, since the protagonist still has no memories, she and her wife are trying to figure out whether their marriage is salvageable or not. Then, before actually clearing that up, she (re)starts some relationship with her ex out of nowhere. It's rather ... odd. Given the way they talk about it though I'd say anything is possible for a 3rd book. Might end up with both, or neither, or one of them. Who knows...

>>2199085
Looks like I guessed right. I'd be proud of my gut feelings saving me from hundreds of books I'd waste time reading in /u/lit, but instead it is depressing because almost every book has a dealbreaker for me. I just want more /u/ to read.

>>2199109
Thing is - I kinda ran out of /u/ lit I find interesting. Or at least occasionally I want to read a certain genre and then it gets really hard to find one specifically with a lesbian lead ...

So if something turns out to be actually /u/, great - like Ward's White Crane, nice surprise, whatever the 2nd book of that might do - if not I can at least hope that it features little or no romance and I'll count that as success, too.

Now, digging randomly through KU books kinda gets me a lot of crap, but it's 2016, so, frankly, female protagonist who at least are bi and might be in an FF relationship actually aren't so rare anymore that there isn't the occasional surprise to be found.

But it's not a useful strategy if you want strictly a /u/ book, that likelihood is way too low.

Breaking Legacies was an excellent fantasy! A good balance of romance, action/adventure, and world building. No het or rape!

>>2199085
Read the first Prisonworld...unfortunately. Really hated the general misogyny, not to mention the brutal rape.

>>2200489
>Breaking Legacies
You should try Broken Coil by Sy Itha too. I've read both of them and really liked them.

>>2200489
Urk. Sounds like expected. Probably not something to put on my read list; there's enough depressing shit out there without reliving it in fiction ... maybe if one day I accidentally feel happy.

Breaking Legacies was OK. Solid throughout, no big problems or anything.I wasn't a huge fan of some of the later developments though, and I think it lacked something extra to be truly memorable.

... just noticed that, err, Space Cruiser Musashi got a sequel. First one had a lesbian subplot, so let's see whether she'll stick to her crazy-fighter-pilot romance in the 2nd one.

>>2197935
Well, I guess Space Cruiser Musashi 2 can now be added to the list. Romance is a minor plot in both, and there's a lot alternate-POV distractions, but it's FFF in the 2nd. I'm frankly surprised, and how rare is that ...

Just finished Dead Girl's Ashes by the Darksbane waifus. I suppose it was OK.

Has some nice scenes; heck, the whole beginning is entertaining - she gets killed, then killed again, then someone tries to kill her ...

But the plot is pretty weak, there's a few too many tropes and the relationships are shallow.

Taking about KU ...

Read two UF novels there. Waking Up Vampire by Mel Elvers was reasonably interesting; it's a different approach to the old vampire-romance formula. Very ... well, is it angst? Lots of morale lectures and such anyway. Second half of the book is basically one long "dream" scene. Arguments the characters pester the heroine with are often rather, err, unconvincing at closer examination. But it wasn't bad nonetheless. Quite romantic, the way the love interest sticks with the protagonist whatever the cost.

And then there was Go To Hell by Melanie Monroe. That I'd have to put up high on my "worst novels I ever read" list. Bad writing, bad formating, bad editing ... real chore to stick with.
Doesn't even make for entertaining trash.

Also, someone should put in the OP that every Sunday until Christmas there will be a free book on Ylva. This week's free book is Driving Me Mad by L.T. Smith

Have a download link for this book? Also I'm wondering the same. There's a series of books, Urban Fantasy, where the Main Character is suppose to be a "Dominate Werewolf/Mary Sue/Half of Everything" but she is basically submissive to her Vampire Queen and the Queens other Vampire Dominatrix and Fae Friend. Nothing to the extent you're looking for but there's a subtle molding going on and the Vampire slowly wrapping her pinky finger around her

The Witch Wolf series. It's your average Urban Fantasy Mary Sue series but it has a long Dom/Sub subplot to it. My only problem with the book series is that the main character RARELY ever does anything on her own, she always has her Hunter friend, or one of the woman she sleeps with helping her even though she herself is very powerful.
