I think it is safe to say that WLW Wednesday has become a bookish meme among bloggers who read sapphic books. Hosted by Sasha and Amber @ Sasha and Amber Read, we are encouraged share our recent wlw/sapphic reads every week or two.
Last week was the first time I participated in WLW Wednesday, and I love how this meme provides us a platform to talk endlessly about sapphics.
Spindrift (A Seal Cove Romance #1) by Anna Burke
Content warnings: depression, past suicidal thoughts, off-page death of family member, multiple mentions of animal deaths
This is the first Burke’s book I have read, and I may have found a new auto-read author.
Emilia Russo (30, of Italian descent, lesbian, depression) was a shelter vet. When her father passed away, her job of putting down innocent animals suddenly became too much. Now on leave and coping with depression, Emilia goes back to Seal Cove to renovate her father’s house for listing. She only plans to stay for a few months. When she accidentally falls into the ocean, it is her teenage crush Morgan Donovan (31) who happens to save her. Morgan, who is also a vet, is recently dumped by her fiancée and still wary of love. Off to an embarrassing and rocky start, the pair keep running into each other in the small town and gradually grow closer. After befriending Morgan’s supportive friends and falling for Morgan, Emilia finds herself reconsidering selling the house, and maybe staying for good.
WLW Wednesday is a weekly blog series originated by Sasha and Amber @ Sasha and Amber Read. Every week or two, they share about their recent wlw reads. This is their second week and my first, so I will start with what I have read since August 5th, 2020. Also check out Arin @ Tomes of Our Lives for her post! Thanks to Arin, I now know that Sasha and Amber are welcoming other bloggers to join WLW Wednesday, too! Is this sapphic solidarity?
I will be posting either weekly or biweekly, depending on how many wlw books I have read during that time. Note that this is not a weekly wrap-up as I do read books that are not sapphic. Those will show up in my monthly wrap-ups but not here.
Let’s see how this goes.
