I’ve been a fan of August Clarke since I finished reading their first book, The Scapegracers. I then devoured the whole series, and when I saw that they had an adult fantasy novel releasing, I leapt at the opportunity to read it. Metal from Heaven is a book about lesbians and class warfare. While it’sRead More

This review is long overdue, considering how much I adore Silk and Steel: A Queer Speculative Adventure Anthology. Published in 2020 and edited by Janine A. Southard, this beautiful collection of seventeen stories contains “big names and bold new voices” (full author list in tags).

Classic Sapphic YA Throwback: Keeping You a Secret by Julie Anne Peters Review
Keeping You a Secret by Julie Anne Peters (she/her) is one of the first sapphic books I ever read. While I can’t remember exactly when I picked it up, my educated guess would be somewhere between high school and the beginning of college, probably before I ever even kissed a girl.
