Top Ten Tuesday: Books with Colors In the Titles

4th August 2020

After seeing Emer’s wonderful post of Top Ten Tuesday (TTT), I decided to start participating, too. TTT is currently hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, and each Tuesday, we get a prompt to talk about 10 books.

This week’s topic: books with colors in the titles.

Instead of randomly choosing 10 books that fit the theme, I want to use this chance to bring light to lesser known books. So, I am doing my best to only include those published by indie publishers this week. And by indie, I really mean LGBTQ+ literature publishing houses and self-published works. All listed books are sapphic.

Here are 5 books I have read (that I really liked) and 5 more on my TBR.
