The Three Queer Books That Broke My Reading Slump

March 10, 2025 by Theo

I will be completely honest—I have been burnt out, to the point where I have been struggling to find joy in reading and even finding reading books for my job a burden. I am sure a lot of you have been feeling the same way. But as I went searching for ways to engage withRead More

Larkie reviews Persephone Station by Stina Leicht

July 5, 2022 by Lesbrarians

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Persephone Station is a space romp with everything you could ask: crime bosses, alien life, assassinations at fancy parties, rogue AI, and fancy flying. There’s a ton packed into this book, and even when you think you’ve reached your limit, it turns out that there’s more just around theRead More

Cath reviews The Cybernetic Tea Shop by Meredith Katz

February 24, 2022 by Lesbrarians

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link The Cybernetic Tea Shop has been one of my comfort reads for years now, one of those stories I can reread over and over. Clara Gutierrez is a technician for Raises — small, animal-shaped robotic companions with a limited range of intelligence and emotions. She doesn’t like settling downRead More

Danika reviews The Swan Riders by Erin Bow

September 8, 2018 by Danika Ellis

After hearing only good things about the Scorpion Rules duology, I was eager to pick it up. Unfortunately, I read the first book during a readathon, and reading a crushing dystopian story about war and brutality was not the best choice to read all in one sitting. It was darker than I was expecting, so I wasn’tRead More

Danika reviews The Scorpion Rules by Erin Bow

May 27, 2018 by Danika Ellis

If you’ve been looking for the queer Hunger Games (or, at least, queer Mockingjay), this is the book for you.  Do you want to read about crushing oppression and the horrors of war, but with a bisexual protagonist? The Scorpion Rules is the book for you! This was a bad choice for a readathon. I should have seenRead More

Danika reviews The Cybernetic Tea Shop by Meredith Katz

January 14, 2018 by Danika Ellis

I’ve got to say, with a title like “The Cybernetic Tea Shop,” I expected this to be a fun, silly, quick read. Instead, it was thoughtful and quiet, seeming to take up more space than the pages it occupied. This is set in a world where sentient, sapient robots were once mass-produced, but given theRead More
