Hell’s Heart is a retelling of Moby-Dick that makes some pretty big changes: it’s set in space, for one, and the whales are space monsters. Most of the main characters are women, and there are on-the-page queer relationships, including a bit of a love triangle between the main character, the captain, and the Queequeg character.Read More
Orcs for the Sapphic Gaze: Legends & Lattes: The Graphic Novel Review
I loved Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree when I read it a few years ago: it really made me fall in love with cozy fantasy, especially queer cozy fantasy. So the graphic novel adaptation (out October 6th) has been one of my most-anticipated releases of the year. I’m happy to say I liked itRead More
An F/F Love Letter to Bioshock: This Gilded Abyss by Rebecca Thorne Review
This Gilded Abyss is Rebecca Thorne’s F/F lovers-to-enemies(-to-lovers) letter to Bioshock—this isn’t me being snarky, the dedication is “For everyone who fought for their lives in Rapture.” In this case, the Rapture analogue is Fall, a domed city at the bottom of the ocean, only reachable by the immense submersible Luminosity at the end ofRead More
A Silly Sapphic Sci-Fi Adventure: Stars, Hide Your Fires by Jessica Mary Best Review
Or; Til Piggybacks On Sera’s review of Stars, Hide Your Fires by Jessica Mary Best My plan for this month was to review Stars, Hide Your Fires by Jessica Mary Best, a Cinderella story set in space where Cinderella is a pickpocket using the ball as cover to rob from the rich and give to the people who wantRead More
A Cozy Queer Mystery in Space: Nobody’s Baby by Olivia Waite Review
Considering my positive reviews of Olivia Waite’s historical romances and Malka Older’s sci-fi mystery novellas, it should be no surprise that I am enjoying Olivia Waite’s own sci-fi mystery novellas, the Dorothy Gentleman series. The second entry, Nobody’s Baby, cements this as a series of cozy mysteries exploring what it means to hold onto our memoriesRead More
A Cozy Sapphic Romantasy: The Keeper of Magical Things by Julie Leong
Maybe you are like me, and suffering from a lack of motivation to read much during the long hot summer, in which case I invite you to look up Julie Leong’s delightful fantasy books.

(Mis)fortune Favours the Bold: Misery’s Wife by Joan Tierney
I’ve had my eye on Misery’s Wife since I first saw it pop up on my feed: a Portuguese inspired fairytale featuring three sisters who had been whisked away to marry mysterious kings—one of the ocean, one of the sky, and one of misery—only for their youngest sister to receive a message to save her third sisterRead More
Disaster Sword Lesbians: Call Me Traitor by Everina Maxwell
I have greatly enjoyed Everina Maxwell’s past books (Winter’s Orbit and Ocean’s Echo), so I was really excited to hear that she was back and writing ladies now. Out Dec 1, Call Me Traitor is a delightful romp and I would like to thank Tor for the ARC. Pencil this one into your calendars if you like dark academia, courtRead More
A Novel In Verse That Will Stay With You: The Leaving Room by Amber McBride
They say you should never judge a book by its cover, but what if the cover is just as gorgeous as the content? The Leaving Room by Amber McBride (she/her) is a young adult novel in verse that is just as stunning as its cover art promises. The story follows Gospel, the Keeper of the LeavingRead More
Sapphics in Space: Moss’d in Space by Rebecca Thorne
Rebecca Thorne’s Moss’d in Space came out in late June and I read it on a whim. I’m not usually one for space sci-fi, but after a rewatch of CW’s Supergirl (2015) I was feeling the absence of yearning sapphics in space. And find them, I did. Moss’d in Space follows Torian as she spends her life savings onRead More
