Stop what you're doing. Another Stuff Your Kindle Day just went live.

This has been a glorious year for bookworms. The quantity and quality of Stuff Your Kindle Days has been unprecedented, and the schedule is showing no signs of slowing down. We've got two events on the calendar for this week, but for now, the focus is firmly on the Sapphic Shelf Explosion.

This 24-hour giveaway, hosted by Year of Queer Lit, offers participants the chance to download 100s of sapphic books for free or just $0.99 (check the price befoe you buy to avoid disappointment). And better yet, everything that you download is yours to keep forever.

Looking to make the most of the latest Stuff Your Kindle Day? We've lined up everything you need to know about this popular event.

When is Stuff Your Kindle Day?

The Sapphic Shelf Explosion takes place on Feb. 26.

Stuff Your Kindle Days tend to fall into one of two categories. Some events are live for a number of days, offering you the chance to take stock of your options and download at your leisure. Others are live for 24 hours, which adds a layer of intensity to the experience. The Sapphic Shelf Explosion falls into the latter category, but there's no need to panic. You've still got plenty of time to check everything out, make a plan of priorities, and stock up. It's not like you're going to be spending big anyway.

Which ebooks are free?

The Sapphic Shelf Explosion is offering free or heavily discounted sapphic books that fall into these sub-genres:

Anyone can participate in Stuff Your Kindle Day. Kindle and Kobo readers can download these sapphic for free.

Is Stuff Your Kindle Day the same as Amazon Kindle Unlimited?

Everything you download on Stuff Your Kindle Day is yours to keep, and there's no limit on the number of books you can download. Stuff Your Kindle Day downloads don't count towards the 20 books that Amazon Kindle Unlimited subscribers can borrow at the same time.
