about
(Downloadable version of bingo cards available here!)
Sapphic September is an annual, month long readathon hosted by Landice (aka ManicFemme) and their best friend Lexi (aka EvilQueenReads) every September! This year will be our fifth Sapphic September in a row.The Sapphic September bingo card includes 16 reading prompts, but to keep things as fun and stress free as possible, we've added a bit of a twist - in addition to reading, you can also fulfill a bingo prompt by posting a photo/video of a sapphic book that fits it! You may also use one book to fulfill multiple prompts.Obviously, the aim of any readathon is to encourage participants to read more books, but we allowed this method of prompt fulfillment in both 2020 & 2021 and then decided to implement it permanently in hopes it will allow more people to participate however much they want or are able to.That being said, we're hosting a giveaway to reward those who do take this opportunity to read more sapphic books. Check the giveaway tab in the menu for more information!
