Great title, right? It’s also literal. Poor Mittens. Michelle Theall’s memoir isn’t organized linearly, but intersperses chapters from childhood with chapters from adulthood. And as a child, she really did teach the family cat to sit. She writes poignantly of the deep loneliness that caused her to try to make the cat into something itRead More
Ashley’s Most-Anticipated Queer YA Books of 2015
Happy 2015, Lesbrary readers! Malinda Lo recently discovered that 2014 was a groundbreaking year for LGBT YA in the publishing world, and the list below is just a small glimpse into the greatness that is to come this year. Here are some of the books I’m most looking forward to reading (and perhaps reviewing!) inRead More
Danika reviews The Color Purple by Alice Walker
It’s hard to know what to write about a book like this, which is so well renowned, and so important. This was a work that I’d heard mentioned many, many times, and one that I felt a little ashamed of not having already read. (In fact I had multiple people say that they thought IRead More
Kalyanii reviews Don’t Bang the Barista by Leigh Matthews
If truth be told, my initial interest in Don’t Bang the Barista probably had something to do with my long-held crush on the red-headed, fresh-faced beauty who works the morning shift at the coffee shop a couple of blocks from my office. However, with the turn of the first few pages, it became clear thatRead More

Updated Sidebar
Hello everyone! As part of my New Years sprucing up of the Lesbrary, I’ve cleared out the sidebar of any dead links. I’ve also added a new category, “Dormant”, for sites that haven’t updated in the last six months. I also added a bunch of new links to it, especially in the Queer Book BlogsRead More
Casey reviews The Haunting on Hill House by Shirley Jackson
Reviewing Shirley Jackson’s classic haunted house story The Haunting on Hill House seems a little seasonally inappropriate for the beginning of the New Year, but I’m going to go ahead and talk about it anyway, especially since it’s often not talked about as a queer / lesbian book, which is a shame, I think. IRead More
Danika’s 2014 End of Year Book Survey
I got these questions from Perpetual Page Turner. I’m also going to do a slightly different end of year book survey on my youtube channel, so look out for that soon. Oh, and I’ll be doing a post about my top books of 2014 on my channel and an all-lesbian one at the Lesbian FictionRead More
Anna M reviews “Air Planes” by Anna Macdougal
“Air Planes” is a work of short fiction, the first in a series by Anna Macdougal called The Lock and The Key: Butch/Femme Erotic Romance. It’s the story of marketing consultant Stephanie, fresh from the triumph of closing a deal, and her erotic encounter with the chivalrous butch woman she meets at the airport. TheirRead More
Danika reviews Will of the Empress by Tamora Pierce
A little bit of background on my experience of this book, first. I have always heard positive things about Tamora Pierce’s writing, but I hadn’t picked up any of her books before this year. I did, however, have a copy of Will of the Empress, because I heard this was a lesbian young adult book, whichRead More
