I’ve been excited to read Meghan O’Brien’s Camp Rewind since I first read the synopsis last year. A book about two women of color dealing with very real and contemporary problems like social anxiety and online harassment and misogyny? Sign me right up! Despite my excitement for the book, it somehow got pushed back dueRead More

Marthese reviews We Awaken by Calista Lynne
“I went on a date in a dream with a mildly mythical figure who couldn’t possibly exist. And we were swing dancing” We Awaken is a Fantasy Young Adult short novel about Victoria and Ashlinn. What drew me to this book was the fact that it was a fantasy young adult book about anRead More

Danika reviews Queens of Geek by Jen Wilde
This. Was. Adorable. I was between rating this 4 stars or 5, but I couldn’t think of anything that I would change about it to improve it, so I guess that makes it an automatic 5 stars! Queens of Geek follows two point of view characters, Charlie and Taylor, as well as their friend Jamie.Read More
Whitney D.R. reviews Fetch by B.L. Wilson
I wanted to read Fetch for two reasons: Black lesbians and my most beloved enemies-to-lovers romance trope. I don’t know what it is about two people who initially can’t stand each other realizing they’re in love (despite their better judgement), but it really turns my crank. Fetch also contains another of my favorite tropes and that’s oppositesRead More
Danika reviews The ABC’s of LGBT+ by Ash Hardell
Note: This was published under the name “Ashley Mardell,” but the author has since changed their name to “Ash Hardell,” so that’s what I’m using here. What a useful, thoughtfully considered book. The ABC’s of LGBT+ is an introduction to a long list of LGBTQIA+ identifiers and terminology. This covers a huge range of labels. IRead More
Shira Glassman reviews Flowers of Luna by Jennifer Linsky
My recs pitch for this book is: fashion college on the moon, with femme on femme Asian diaspora lesbian romance. Yes, I said on the moon. Flowers of Luna, by biracial Japanese-American author Jennifer Linsky, has a very familiar structure and feel if you’ve been reading a lot of young adult and new adult contemporary f/f. Ran hasRead More
Queer: A Graphic History by Meg-John Barker, illustrated by Julia Scheele
When I picked up Queer: A Graphic History, I was expecting a pretty short, easy read. Queer history! In a graphic format! I was surprised, then, to realize that this is not just queer history as in LGBTQ history, but queer as in queer theory, which is a whole different ball game. I took queer theory inRead More
