This collection of short stories traces generations of characters living in Hawai’i, beginning with “Target Island”, which starts in 1948, when Harrison in his crib is covered in broken glass (but miraculously unharmed) when the window shatters from the shockwave of a bomb dropped by US government. When he’s seven years old, he proudly showsRead More
A Revolutionary Tale: The Daughters of Izdihar by Hadeer Elsbai
The Daughters of Izdihar is Hadeer Elsbai’s debut novel. It’s the first in The Alamaxa Duology, and I raced to the second book the moment I finished this one (tune in next month for that review). It’s always a thrill to read a fantasy novel that’s not set in the Western tradition, and with aRead More
Femme Fatales, Homicidal Housewives and Errant Employees: The New Lesbian Pulp edited by Sarah Fonseca and Octavia Saenz Review
I love pulp fiction. I love reading it, reading about it and I especially love books collecting it. After all, I came to sapphic literature through Radclyffe Hall (by way of Sara Ahmed’s The Promise of Happiness), and Mabel Maney. In fact, I originally began visiting the Lesbrary after coming across Danika’s writing on lesbian pulp fiction andRead More
150+ Sapphic Books Coming Out in the Rest of 2025

Now, I have the matching list to share with you: the sapphic books out from July-December of 2025, sortable and searchable by genre, release date, and representation.

A Steamy Sapphic Vampire/Selkie Romantasy: Blood on the Tide by Katee Robert Review
Last year, I read the first book in this series, Hunt On Dark Waters. It’s a romantasy with a bisexual witch main character named Evelyn and a telekinetic guy love interest (Bowen). While the writing felt a bit clunky to me, I still had a fun time reading it, and I was especially intrigued byRead More
A Memoir of Anxiety, Queerness, and Figure Skating: On Top of Glass by Karina Manta Review
On Top of Glass by Karina Manta is a memoir of the author’s experiences growing up—equal parts a story about sports, queer identity, and anxiety.
A Tender Romance Between Roommates: Make Room for Love by Darcy Liao
I’m always looking for romances starring trans characters, and with Make Room for Love by Darcy Liao promising a slow-burn romance between roommates, I happily picked it up. That combination implies mutual pining at all hours between people gradually learning how to share their lives, and this book delivered on that premise. With Mira in need ofRead More
A Sincere Satire — Spent: A Comic Novel by Alison Bechdel Review
Fun Home is one of my all-time favourite books, but I haven’t enjoyed Alison Bechdel’s subsequent memoirs as much, and I’ve only read bits and pieces of Dykes to Watch Out For. So I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked up her newest graphic novel, Spent. It stars a graphic memoirist named AlisonRead More
Monsters Above and Below the Waves: They Bloom at Night by Trang Thanh Tran Review
After a banger debut with She is a Haunting, I was eager to get my hands on Trang Tranh Tran’s sophomore novel They Bloom at Night. Tran delivers another gripping story, with atmospheric tension intertwined with the struggle to fit in to your own body and community. This book dragged me in as relentless the tides, and thenRead More
A Queernorm Sapphic Sci-Fi Graphic Novel: Always Human by Ari North Review
Always Human is a beautiful graphic novel by Ari North (she/her). Originally syndicated on Webtoon as a webcomic, it was later published in partnership with GLAAD. This novel is book one of a two-part series. Although it wasn’t my cup of tea, I encourage you to read it for yourself to see where you land. The novel opens inRead More
