Thou Shall Read This Book: The Lesbiana’s Guide to Catholic School by Sonora Reyes Review
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 TBR Shame Spiral in Six Titles
As a librarian, my TBR (to-be-read) shelf is never ending.

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

The Queer Graphic Novel That Had Me Sobbing at 3 A.M.: The Deep Dark by Molly Knox Ostertag
Buy this from Bookshop.org to support local bookstores and the Lesbrary! You’re all fired for not tell me how good this is.
