Charmed and Dangerous by Shelley Page is a teen rom-com that I’ll admit I picked up mostly because I was instantly charmed by the cover. My library got a copy of it, and after DNFing a couple of books and slogging through a third, I really needed something light that I knew would be fun andRead More
A Sapphic Roommates Romance: My Cute Little Kitten by Milk Morinaga
Rena and Yuna, the protagonists of Milk Morinaga’s My Cute Little Kitten, were flatmates during their student days, and continued living together as they started their adult lives.

Star Wars meets The Hunger Games meets The Bachelor: Love Galaxy by Sierra Branham Review
For Artemis Ialan, an ex-convict and trash collector living on a planet that has been reduced to a toxic wasteland, the opportunity to compete on an intergalactic dating show starring the prince and princess set to inherit the galactic empire is at once a dream… and a nightmare. After agreeing to an underhanded deal toRead More
A Lackluster “Yuri” on Ice: Just Between Us by Adeline Kon
This one’s on me. I should have known from the author’s “lesbian Heated Rivalry” comp-pitch viral tweet that something wicked this way comes. I understand marketing is a necessary evil—especially for emerging artists—but surely, there are some decent sapphic romance titles that would have made for a more fitting comparison. Anyway, we digress. I have alwaysRead More
Regency Romance for Fans of Twelfth Night: A Lady for All Seasons by T.J. Alexander Review
“If the mind is desperate to convey a thought, that thought will not be ignored.” I’m a big fan of T.J. Alexander’s romances, not only for their lyrical writing and frequent trans protagonists, but also for how skilled they are at getting me to root for that happy ending. Their latest book, A Lady for AllRead More
Tender and Terrifying: Feast While You Can by Mikaella Clements and Onjulia Datta
Do you ever know that you’re going to enjoy a book so much that you just keep putting off reading it? That was me with Feast While You Can by Mikaella Clements and Onjuli Datta. I’m a big fan of the married co-authors’s previous work, the celebrity romance The View Was Exhausting, and the promise of their secondRead More

This young adult graphic novel delivers a medal-worthy ice queen, enemies-to-lovers sports romance filled with solid writing, compelling characters, and gorgeous art. Lydia “Ice Queen” ChenRead More
Sapphics and Softballs: Running Home to You by Samantha Saldivar Review
I’m a big fan of queer sports romances. It’s definitely the subgenre I read the most of, and there are so many really good ones out there. Something that I would like to see more of are the ones focused on women. Luckily for me, I was fortunate enough to receive an ARC of RunningRead More
Sapphic Mean Girls in Bonnets: Like in Love With You by Emma R. Alban
Recently, I decided that I wanted to give historical sapphic romances a go. I have nothing against the genre at all; it’s just never been something I have prioritized. For my first one, I decided to head to regency England (thanks to my love of the 2005 Pride and Prejudice) with Emma R. Alban’s Like in LoveRead More
On Bittersweet Second Chances: Get Over It, April Evans by Ashley Herring Blake
Well, the day has finally come. I had never expected to review a romance novel for The Lesbrary, much less one written by Ashley Herring Blake. Yes, I am aware that Blake might be one of the most popular names leading the current tradpub sapphic publishing market, and that her Bright Falls series—featuring a close-knit circle ofRead More
