Melanie Gillman is one of my favourite artists (tied with Megan Rose Gedris, who did the Lesbrary banner!), so of course I had to buy a physical copy of As the Crow Flies as soon as it was available. I had been following along with the webcomic, but reading it in a physical version, in oneRead More
Danika reviews Hurricane Child by Kheryn Callender
Hurricane Girl is unlike anything I’ve read before. I have been basking in this new wave of queer middle grade books, because that used to be unheard of. Now, it’s become its own little subgenre (though obviously we could use a lot more!) This book comes from a completely different angle than George or Star-Crossed or Drum Roll, Please do, however.Read More
Quinn Jean reviews Taking Flight by Siera Maley
[This review contains spoilers and a brief mention in paragraph four of homophobic abuse and alcoholism in the novel.] Taking Flight is a young adult coming-of-age novel by Siera Maley where lesbian LA-born and bred high school senior Lauren gets in trouble for skipping school and is sent to live with a middle-aged Christian youthRead More
Guest Lesbrarian Jess H. reviews Birds of a Feather by Jackie Calhoun
Birds of a Feather by Jackie Calhoun is one of the most depressing books I’ve ever read. And no, I haven’t read The Well of Loneliness. It is hard for me to think of a single moment of joy in Calhoun’s contemporary romance (published 1999). I use the term “romance” loosely, because romance seems toRead More

Megan G reviews Cinnamon Blade: Knife in Shining Armour by Shira Glassman
Cinnamon Blade keeps having to rescue Soledad Castillo, and with each rescue her attraction to the woman grows. Once she finally finds an appropriate setting to ask her out, things start to get crazy. Or, really, crazier. As soon as I saw that Cinnamon Blade: Knife in Shining Armor was a sort-of follow up to Knit One,Read More
Megan Casey reviews For Every Season by Frankie J. Jones
When I pick up a Bella book, I sometimes wonder if I shouldn’t just assign it a rating of somewhere between a 2.5 and a 3.5 and go on to something else. I’m talking about Bella originals, now, not reprints. I usually come around to the hope that I might run into something really outstanding,Read More
Genevra Littlejohn reviews Beneath the Silver Rose by T.S Adrian
Shadiya is a prized courtesan of the Silver Rose, one of dozens of elegant Sisters who serve the men–though never the women–of the land of Anderholm. Fiercer-tempered than any of her compatriots, Shadiya makes what would be reckoned by many in her position as a mistake; rather than allowing herself to be raped, she killsRead More
Ren reviews We Were Witches by Ariel Gore
TW: self harm, violence against women, sexual assault ‘Beautiful’ does not even begin to encompass the captive, rhythmic style Ariel Gore possesses. I found it difficult to read quickly despite it being a relatively short work; every few pages there would be a line simple in structure but devastating in truth. I would be leftRead More
Mallory Lass reviews Lily and the Crown by Roslyn Sinclair
I couldn’t find a way to write this review without spoilers, so you may want to proceed with caution if that’s a deal breaker. Also, this book wasn’t my jam. Despite featuring one of my favorite tropes (age-gap), being a space opera, and lots of people singing its praises, I couldn’t get into it. LilyRead More
