Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Laura Kay could teach a masterclass on the low-key, wholesome, slightly messy queer rom com, as exemplified in her third novel, Wild Things. El is stuck in a rut, both personally and professionally. Still in her dead-end job at a London newspaper, she spends most of the workdayRead More
A Dashing Lesbian Adventure in Fantasy Egypt: A Master of Djinn by P. Djéli Clark
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Sometimes when I’m reading/watching something, I think: what if this dashing, cavalier, risk-taking, slightly messy hero was a lesbian? Have you considered doing this exact story, literally nothing changed, except that instead of a vaguely scruffy man, this hero was a vaguely scruffy lesbian? I’m not the onlyRead More

A Cute Yuri Romance for Cat Lovers: My Cute Little Kitten Vol. 1 by Milk Morinaga
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Six years ago (!!), I read Girl Friends by Milk Morinaga, a yuri manga series I’d heard recommended endlessly.

Queer Political Sci-Fi with a Gender Trinary: Provenance by Ann Leckie
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Ann Leckie is probably my favorite author. She writes excellent science fiction and fantasy, and her books are jam packed with incredible world building, a mixture of politics and action, and a heavy dose of gender fuckery. I cannot be normal about her books, and almost always goRead More
A Not-So-Magic Sapphic YA Romance: Improbable Magic for Cynical Witches by Kate Scelsa
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Content warnings: homophobia (from antagonists), drug abuse (marijuana, alcohol) My experience with Improbable Magic for Cynical Witches stems from a core misunderstanding about what this book is. The summary explains that Eleanor doesn’t believe in magic, but her life will be changed by mysterious forces, that magic will arrive. It’sRead More

A Sapphic Sequel to Shakespeare’s The Tempest: Miranda in Milan by Katharine Duckett
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Out of all of Shakespeare’s comedies, The Tempest has always stuck out to me as particularly odd. The play’s initial premise hardly seems like it belongs in a comedy at all—an ousted duke raises his daughter alone on a magical isle, binding spirits to his will and planningRead More

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Equal parts science fiction, historical fiction, and lesbian fiction, The Gilda Stories (1991) by Jewelle Gomez is a classic queer vampire novel.

Concentrated Adorableness in a Queernorm World: The Tea Dragon Society by Kay O’Neill
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link The Tea Dragon Society is a short graphic novel composed of the most concentrated adorableness I have ever encountered.
