Jen Wilde’s Books are the Feel-Good Sapphic YA You’ve Been Searching For
Did you know I (Danika) have a booktube channel? Along with the Lesbrary, the Bi & Lesbian Literature tumblr, and Book Riot, I talk about books there, too! Apparently I can’t say enough about them. Most of my content is about queer women books, and I even have a playlist of just my sapphic bookRead More
Mars reviews Tell Me How You Really Feel by Aminah Mae Safi
Happy Pride Month, Lesbrarians! I am swooping in from the ether to volunteer this review of Aminah Mae Safi’s much anticipated Tell Me How You Really Feel on this most auspicious month. It’s a charming read, a very well-executed story, and has been on my pre-order list for months. Safi starts us off with a fact thatRead More
Marthese reviews Lies We Tell Ourselves by Robin Talley
“We’re not allowed to touch any of them, no matter what they do to us” Lies We Tell Ourselves by Robin Talley was a difficult book to read, but an important one. While it is a fiction book, it is realistic; it could have happened. I found this book at the library. It hadn’t beenRead More
Mallory Lass reviews Everything Grows by Aimee Herman
CW: suicide, homophobia, family trauma, parental character death (remembered) and child abuse Have you ever picked up a book and the whole time you’re reading, it feels like somehow the universe aligned and you were meant to find it, to soak in the words and glide through the pages? Well this is how Aimee Herman’sRead More

Megan G reviews Nepantla: An Anthology for Queer Poets of Color edited by Christopher Soto
As soon as I came across this anthology and its haunting cover I knew I had to pick it up. As soon as I realized that the title of this anthology (and the journal it originated from) came from a quote from Gloria Anzaldúa, I knew I’d made the right choice. The poems in thisRead More
Genevra Littlejohn reviews Ninefox Gambit by Yoon Ha Lee
Imagine that you are telling a science fiction story for cavemen, a hundred thousand years ago. Imagine that you’re all sat around a fire, half-covered by an outcropping of stone, hoping that tomorrow will be drier than today, and you decide you’ll tell a story about the far future. Imagine that somehow you have theRead More
Alexa reviews Out of Salem by Hal Schrieve
4.5 stars When I saw that cover and read the blurb, I was ready for an epic queer urban fantasy adventure. I mean, doesn’t that just sound badass? Two fourteen-year-olds: a nonbinary witch zombie, and a Muslim lesbian werewolf. I have read many urban fantasy books where the supernatural creatures live in secret, so IRead More
Alexa reviews Rescues and the Rhyssa by T.S. Porter
Two occasional lovers with many differences team up to save three kidnapped kids. And then it gets even more complicated. Sophi is the captain of a smuggler ship with a diverse crew, including two types of aliens, a nonbinary human, and Muslim humans as well, if I understood the cultural clues right. They are quiteRead More
