I’ve been researching the history of lesbian literature (as you do), and one of the things that I’ve learned is that lesbian poetry has been at the foundation of lesbian lit. Of course, Sappho is the one that started it all, though we have to make due with only fragments of her poetry, leaving usRead More
The 10 Most Highly Anticipated Sapphic Books Out in the Rest of 2023
This was such a difficult list to put together, because it is definitely not meant to be a list of all the good sapphic books coming out from July to December of 2023. These are just the 10 upcoming releases at the very top of my TBR. I also tried to select a range ofRead More
Messy Sapphics, F/F Friends to Lovers Romances, Book Celebrating Queer Bars, and More Lesbrary Links
I follow hundreds of queer book blogs to scout out the best sapphic book news and reviews! Many of them get posted on Tumblr and Twitter as I discover them, but my favourites get saved for these link compilations. Here are some of the posts I’ve found interesting in the last few weeks. Despite Book Bans, LGBTQ+ Fiction SalesRead More
New Sapphic Releases: Bi and Lesbian Books Out June 20, 2023!
I’m not sure why publishers packed so many exciting queer releases into the third week of June, but here we are! There are so many titles out today on my personal TBR, including queer litfic, a feminist western, a sapphic YA slasher, and so much more. I really enjoyed Courtney Gould’s previous sapphic YA horrorRead More
The Best Sapphic Books of 2023 (So Far)
The last year or two has brought such an abundance of sapphic books, especially in terms of traditionally published titles. Sapphic books have finally caught up to M/M books in traditional publishing, though there are still many queer identities as well as intersectionalities (trans sapphic books, sapphic books by authors of color, disabled sapphic books,Read More
12 Sapphic Roller Derby Books for When You Miss the Track
It seems ridiculous to try to explain why roller derby appeals to queer women. A woman-centric sport? People with different body types playing a hardcore sport together? Puns? What’s not to love? Unfortunately, there have not been nearly enough books or movies to capitalize on the inherent potential of an amazing sapphic roller derby romance.Read More
Queer Book Blogs You Need to Read
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
