I follow an absolutely ridiculous amount of blogs through an RSS feed reader in order to put together weekly link round ups. (Over 200, not counting the additional Google alerts.) I love being flooded with queer book recs, but it means sifting through a lot of content that isn’t totally relevant. With that in mind,Read More
A Queer, Angry Take on Doctor Who: The Infinite Miles by Hannah Fergesen
This was such a let down. I used to be a big fan of Doctor Who (see my review of Queers Dig Time Lords) and am currently trying to catch up on the newest seasons. So when I saw a queer sci-fi book coming out that drew inspiration from Doctor Who, it sounded like theRead More
Do Queer Books Still Need a Happy Ending?
Hanging up in my living room is a canvas print of the cover of Satan Was a Lesbian by Fred Haley, and let me tell you, the illustration is exactly as over the top as the title is. It’s a perfect example of lesbian pulp fiction, a category of lesbian literary history I am fascinatedRead More
Bringing the Lesbian Vampire Home: Carmen Maria Machado’s Reclamation of CARMILLA
Carmilla is a lesbian vampire story that predates Dracula by decades. It’s a story I’ve come back to over and over, in the same conflicted way that I am drawn to lesbian pulp. In fact, I wrote a post about queer culture’s tendency to reclaim toxic representation, and how Carmilla and lesbian pulp fits into that. On the one hand, it’sRead More
58 Must-Read Sapphic Books by Trans and Nonbinary Authors
In March, I put together a list of sapphic books by trans and nonbinary authors for the Trans Rights Readathon, but we don’t need a readathon to read trans books! For each of these, I tried to verify that the author publicly identifies as trans or nonbinary, but if I’ve made a mistake, please letRead More

Pride month continues to deliver excellent new queer books, including a queer time travelling book perfect for fans of The Night Circus, a sapphic middle grade time loop story, a lesbian mech romcom graphic novel, and lots more!

Get Queer Book Recs in Your Inbox Twice a Week with Our Queerest Shelves!
I’ve been running the Lesbrary for over a decade, but did you know book blogging is also, separately, my full time job? It’s (somehow) true! My day job is being an Associate Editor at Book Riot. I do a lot of things there, including co-hosting the All the Books podcast, but one of my favouriteRead More
8 of the Best Sapphic Shakespeare Retellings
There are not nearly as many queer Shakespeare retellings as there should be, but here are 8 of the best sapphic Shakespeare retellings!
The 9 Books of Sappho and Other Queer Lit Lost in the Fire
There’s a famous photograph of a Nazi book burning. A mound of books are spread in the street, some smoldering, some still aflame. Surrounding it are people raising the Nazi salute. It’s an eerie image. I’m sure I was shown it in school. It’s an example of the censorship and the violent intolerance of NaziRead More
