June 8, 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

Kayla Bell reviews Radiant Days by Elizabeth Hand

June 5, 2021 by Danika Ellis

There aren’t many stories that can truly say they’ve done time travel in a unique way. Going back to the past or ahead to the future have already been done dozens of times. A fish out of water, or out of time, is going to make for an interesting story. But Radiant Days does timeRead More

Marieke reviews When The Tiger Came Down The Mountain by Nghi Vo

May 31, 2021 by Danika Ellis

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link [This review contains spoilers] The Singing Hills cycle is a series of stories about storytelling, which happens to be one of my favourite narrative themes. You don’t need to have read the first one (which is also sapphic) in order to appreciate this second instalment. The debut novellaRead More

May 30, 2021 by Danika Ellis

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.

Danika reviews The Chosen and the Beautiful by Nghi Vo

May 30, 2021 by Danika Ellis

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link When I heard that a queer Vietnamese American The Great Gatsby retelling was coming out, I immediately requested a review copy. I can’t resist sapphic retellings, especially literary ones. There’s one little hiccup to me reviewing this book, though: I’ve never read The Great Gatsby. I haven’t evenRead More

Way back in 2016, I wrote a post for Book Riot called 5 Lesbian Mermaid Comics You Need to Read where I rounded up sapphic mermaid and selkie comics. There were far too few than I would like, but I was able to find a three page comic story from Molly Ostertag on tumblr aboutRead More

Carolina reads A Lesson in Vengeance by Victoria Lee

May 27, 2021 by Danika Ellis

“Dark Academia” is a cultural trend sweeping Tumblr and Tiktok, an eclectic sub-community gauzed in stark, academic aesthetic and darkly gothic themes. On any dark academia moodboard, you can find androgynous tweed suits, dark libraries, sepia-tined cigarette smoke. However, the trend has little place for female characters or sapphic relationships, as it primarily focuses onRead More
