5 of the Best Webcomics for Sapphic Swifties
For all my fellow sapphic Swifties, this has been a roller coaster of a time. The U.S. leg of the Taylor Swift’s Era’s Tour is ending, but we did get an announcement of 1989 Taylor’s Version releasing later this year. Even with the news, the ending feels like an end of a…well, era. Many ofRead More
An Anti-Fascist Queer Space Opera: Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh
Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh is one of the most powerful science fiction books I have ever read. I have not been able to read another book because I keep wondering where the main character Kyr has gone. I look for her in everything. She is such a well-rounded, complicated character (the best kind),Read More
A Bisexual Historical Horror Retelling: Reluctant Immortals by Gwendolyn Kiste
Bookshop.org Affiliate Link This is a fascinating story about the trauma inflicted on women by violent men.

Lucy and Bee enjoy theirRead More

Alien Donut Shops, Cybernetic Tea Rooms, and More Sapphic SFF for Foodies!
Is there anything more comforting than reading a cozy fantasy book? Maybe watching The Great British Bake Off. That’s why I love sci-fi and fantasy books that incorporate food, whether it’s a magical bakery or an alien cooking competition. And of course, any book is better with queer characters. Interestingly, I found this list neatlyRead 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
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
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
