I was feeling nostalgic this month and decided to re-read Annie on My Mind by Nancy Garden (she/her), one of the first queer books I ever read. My ability to remember specific plot details is notoriously bad, so it was almost like reading it for the first time. I am pleased to report, it did not disappoint! Originally publishedRead More
A Trans Lesbian Mech Romcom: Lsbn by Emma Jayne Review
If you’re looking for a fun one-sitting read, why not pick up this trans lesbian “mech rom-com graphic novel,” as the blurb describes it? I feel like you’re already sold, but I’ll keep going anyway.

Queer, Revelatory Joy in The Deep Dark by Molly Knox Ostertag
Already a fan of Molly Knox Ostertag’s The Girl from the Sea, I had a good feeling about the weighty tome that is The Deep Dark. Friends, this poignant graphic novel delivered and then some. It’s like someone translated the sensation of waiting for the other shoe to drop and described the steps someone would take toRead More
The Cozy Wedding Coup: Tea You at the Altar by Rebecca Thorne
Tea You at the Altar is the third book in the Tomes & Tea cozy fantasy series, and it follows Kianthe and Reyna as they plan their wedding… and possibly a coup.

Love, Grief, and the Abyssal Depths of the Ocean: Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield
There is a peculiar kind of sadness in telling a love story backwards, starting with its end. There’s the tenderness and domesticity of an established relationship, and the inevitable fact of its eventual nonexistence. This love story captures a relationship by chronicling its end. Our Wives Under the Sea, Julia Armfield’s debut novel, is a captivating tale told in alternating perspectives about a couple, Miri and Leah, the latter of whom goes out on a deep-sea exploration and comes back irrevocably changed. The book weaves Miri’s struggle to reconcile the slow slipping away of her wife, Leah, with Leah’s recounting of the events of the deep-sea submersible dive.
