Hi, folks. This is likely my last post on here. You can find me on 🧵 and Instagram to follow my book updates. I'll float around here for a while, but if you want the latest on all things sapphic books, that will be elsewhere. Wishing you the best in 2025!

I started watching novelas to improve my Spanish skills before moving abroad. While my Spanish has, sadly, dwindled since moving back to the US, I still love watching them. Tierra de Lobos, Acacias 38, and now Sueños de Libertad. Color me currently obsessed with #Mafin 😍
The way they look at each other, the hand touching.. they are so in love it gives me chills up my arms, butterflies in my stomach... they are EVERYTHING! #Mafin
