Welcome to FF Fridays!

I would like to write more book reviews, even if short, and I would like to read (and write) more FF. If you would too, please be the change you seek and join me for FF Friday!

Every Friday, we will review an FF book (or short story, etc), and label the review "FF Friday," a la "Reading Wednesday."

- You do not have to commit to doing this every Friday to join in. Whenever you can is fine.

- FF = "romantic relationship between female-identified people." The book does not have to be genre romance. It can be any genre that includes a significant and romantic relationship between women. It does not have to include sex, but should be clearly romantic rather than platonic friendship.

- Reviews do not have to be positive. (Though if you want to write about FF fanfic, probably you will be doing recs rather than reviews.)

- Reviews can be any length, down to one sentence.

Who wants to join me?
