Danika reviews The One You Want to Marry (And Other Identities I’ve Had) by Sophie Santos

October 13, 2021 by Danika Ellis

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Link I have to admit, I almost stopped reading this in the first chapter because of the secondhand embarrassment factor. That same impulse that nearly made me put down the book for good also kept me completely enthralled, peeking through my fingers (metaphorically) to read the next page, unable toRead More

50 Bi and Lesbian Books Out This Month!

October 12, 2021 by Danika Ellis

Would you believe that more than 50 sapphic books come out this month? It’s true! Unfortunately, it’s not always easy to find out which books have queer representation, or what kind of representation they have. So here’s a big list of bi and lesbian books out this month, sorted by genre. I’ve highlighted a fewRead More

Rachel reviews No Gods, No Monsters by Cadwell Turnbull

October 12, 2021 by Lesbrarians

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Caldwell Turnbull’s No Gods, No Monsters (Blackstone Publishing 2021) is an absolutely unputdownable blend of science fiction and fantasy set in a dark (and queer) world where all manner of creatures live and walk. The central plot of the novel focuses on Laina, who receives news one morning that herRead More

Sponsored Review: Danika reviews A Queer Death at Secret Pearl by J.C. Morgan

October 10, 2021 by Danika Ellis

I have to admit, “cozy mystery set at a lesbian retirement community” was a tagline I could not resist. A Queer Death at Secret Pearl begins with Judith moving into Secret Pearl and immediately meeting an aggressively welcoming Cynthia, who attempts to take her on a tour, but is so high that she gets them lost untilRead More

Shannon reviews Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake by Alexis Hall

October 9, 2021 by Lesbrarians

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I’m not someone who watches a lot of TV, so I was super surprised to find myself gravitating toward books centered around reality tv shows. There’s something about these stories that captures my attention in a way the actual shows airing on television never have. Rosaline Palmer TakesRead More

Danika reviews A Dream of a Woman: Stories by Casey Plett

October 6, 2021 by Danika Ellis

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Casey Plett is the kind of author I love and dread reading, because she so skillfully can break your heart. Her stories are beautiful, bittersweet, and achingly honest about the little ways we support and fail each other. My first experience reading Plett’s work was in chapbook form:Read More

Shana reviews Passion Marked by Ophelia Silk

October 3, 2021 by Lesbrarians

Passion Marked is a fantasy novel set in a magical world where people’s lives are constrained by whether they have light magic, dark magic, or neither. The worldbuilding inelegantly parallels modern-day racism, and I found it a frustrating read.  Ellie is an aspiring horse trainer who has been working her whole life towards joining aRead More

I absolutely loved this fun, feminist story and am excited to share it withRead More
