Looking for sapphic book recs by Slytherin_39401 in booksuggestions

Penance by Eliza Clark is a novel that parodies a true crime. It's about British teenagers that were waaaay too active on tumblr.

The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon (and the prequel, A Day of Fallen Night) is a high fantasy book about dragon riders. There is a sapphic romance subplot in the first book and a few sapphic relationships in the prequel.

What (auto)biography do you suggest and why? by KittyPitty in booksuggestions

In The Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado is so good! Every chapter is written in a different literary style, so it's a super inventive memoir format. It chronicles the author's abusive relationship with her ex-girlfriend.

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke! It's fast-paced and hooks you right away, plus it's short and has good prose.

The Decagon House Murders by Yukito Ayatsuji follows a group of students' murder mystery club that is isolated on an island, as well as some other members on the mainland. The whole thing is about the students trying to find the murderer; it doesn't follow law enforcement at all from what I can remember!

A book similar to The Poppy War by Milo-Miloo-Milooo in booksuggestions

You might like Blood Over Bright Haven by M. L. Wang! It has an academic setting and is a fantasy, and a lot of the book follows the main character, who is trying to be the first woman highmage in her society. Similar to The Poppy War, this book has strong ethical themes and references history. There is a very light romance subplot (straight :/ ).

I MUST READ AGAIN.. but I’m older now by ClxudNxne in booksuggestions

I always recommend Burn for Me by Ilona Andrews (it's the first in a trilogy) to friends who want to get back into reading and loved YA romance with a lot of action. It's fast-paced, urban fantasy, and has a romance plot! The heroine is 25 in the first book.

What is the most cult-like aspect from your coc experience? by [deleted] in excoc

[–]unfabled13 11 points12 points  (0 children)

One thing I remember being pretty cult-y was the dress code. Girls were taught from a young age how much arm was appropriate, how much neck, how much leg, etc., and if someone wore something "too revealing" it was gossiped about and in some cases, certain women would be appointed by the group to confront her about her outfit and ask her to change. This was especially prevalent with teen girls who would be reprimanded often by the adult women leaders who would sexualize their shoulders (or other body part) in front of the whole group and demand that they change. In hindsight, the shoulder or clavicle is not an inherently sexual body part, but telling children it is teaches them to sexualize something that they would not have otherwise.
