In Haley Cass’s latest release, The Snowball Effect, she brings readers back to the world of Sutton Spencer’s and Charlotte Thompson’s New York City (from Those Who Wait). This time, though, the story focuses on Regan, Sutton’s upbeat best friend, and Emma, Sutton’s more reserved graduate school classmate, as they navigate life as unlikely roommates. WhileRead More
Soothe Your Sapphic Soul with Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea by Rebecca Thorne
With the weather getting colder and the… general state of the world, I’ve been gravitating towards cozy fantasy lately, which is why I finally picked up a book that’s been on my TBR for far too long: Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea by Rebecca Thorne. This is the first in the Tomes & Tea series,Read More
The Perfect Pick for Queer Horror-Loving Teens: Come Out, Come Out by Natalie C. Parker
Now that we’re out of October, it’s time to move on from spooky books, right? Wrong. Now is the time to read all the books other people read during October and are rec-ing you. I read Come Out Come Out by Natalie C, Parker in only a couple of sessions, and I found it such an engagingRead More
A Cult Classic Sapphic Novella: Women by Chloe Caldwell
As a millennial bibliophile with a mortgage, one of my favorite pastimes is perusing and purchasing Kindle daily deals with reckless abandon. A few weeks ago, my partner, who delights in being able to successfully predict which books will pique my interest, sent me a daily deal for Women by Chloe Caldwell (she/her). Described as a “cult-classic novella,” Women wasRead More
A Fiery Finale: The Lotus Empire by Tasha Suri
In 2021, three brilliant, yellow-covered epic fantasy books came out, all of them with sapphic leads, and thus the Sapphic Trifecta was born. I have read and loved them all (and talked about them here, along with several other Lesbrarians), but I think if I were to pick a favorite, I would have to say TheRead More
Murder, Mayhem, and Mascots: Rest in Peaches by Alex Brown
After reading her debut novel, Damned If You Do, Alex Brown has quickly become one of my new favorite authors! As part of this year’s Sapphic September challenge, I read an ARC of her most recent novel, Rest in Peaches, which came out on October 15th of this year. Rest in Peaches follows a highRead More
3 Sapphic Books I Rated 3 Stars (That You Might Rate 5 Stars)!
One of the biggest struggles I have as a reviewer for the Lesbrary is wanting to present only the sapphic stories that I believe to be the best. I am very much aware that I am a consumer, not a creator, and that if asked to create an original story, I would not fare nearlyRead More

Razia Mirza grows up amid the wild grape vines and backyard sunflowers of Corona, Queens, alongside her best friend, Saima. When a family rift drives the girls apart, Razia’s heart is broken.

A Lush and Lesbian Political Fantasy: The Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri
In honor of The Lotus Empire being released on November 12th, I decided to reread The Jasmine Throne and actually continue with the series past the first book. I first read it back in 2021 when it came out and I remember enjoying it, but aside from that, not much stuck in my head. I never got around toRead More
Finally, the Canonically Queer Lady Knight We Deserve in The Fireborne Blade by Charlotte Bond
Charlotte Bond’s dark fantasy novella, The Fireborne Blade, is a beautifully straightforward dungeon crawler until it isn’t. Protagonist Sir Maddileh is a rarity as a knighted woman and she’s in dire need of a truly spectacular feat to reclaim her honor and restore her standing at court. Enter her current foolhardy quest to retrieve the Fireborne Blade. The onlyRead More
