Thou Shall Read This Book: The Lesbiana’s Guide to Catholic School by Sonora Reyes Review

May 18, 2025 by Raquel R. Rivera

This month, I was scrolling through my Kindle trying to figure out which book I should review when I came across The Lesbiana’s Guide to Catholic School by Sonora Reyes (they/them). In the past, I had overlooked it because I had the preconceived notion that it might be too “on the nose” or stereotypical.  Let me beRead More

A Steamy Romance of Self-Discovery: Kiss Me, Maybe by Gabriella Gamez Review

May 6, 2025 by Danika Ellis

Part of the reason for that was her long journey to discovering her identity as an asexual lesbian, but now she’s embraced it, and she’s ready to experience some firsts.

A TBR Shame Spiral in Six Titles

April 14, 2025 by Theo

As a librarian, my TBR (to-be-read) shelf is never ending. Every time I think I am going to crack down on my whole bookshelf of unread books, something amazing comes through the returns chute, or my VERY well-meaning coworkers share something that they think I will love (most times they are right on the money)Read More

Queer, Revelatory Joy in The Deep Dark by Molly Knox Ostertag 

March 5, 2025 by Susanne Salehi

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

Finding a New Favorite YA Contemporary Author: Ophelia After All and You Don’t Have a Shot by Racquel Marie

September 25, 2024 by Emory Rose

Recently, I got to read Racquel Marie’s debut and sophomore releases: Ophelia After All and You Don’t Have a Shot. While the two books had different focuses, they were both compulsively readable coming-of-age stories, and I think any reader of sapphic contemporary YA will find at least one of them to be up their alley. Though it isn’tRead More

September 2, 2024 by Danika Ellis

Buy this from Bookshop.org to support local bookstores and the Lesbrary! You’re all fired for not tell me how good this is. I liked The Girl From the Sea, so I put a hold on Ostertag’s newest sapphic graphic novel, but I hadn’t heard anything about it, so I my expectations were pretty grounded. IRead More
