Faeries, Dragons, and Space Monsters, Oh My: Three Sapphic SFF Novellas

May 28, 2025 by Emory Rose

I first want to give a shout-out to the Asian Readathon, which Cindy Pham (@WithCindy on Youtube) hosts during May. While we’re near the end of the month, the associated Directory of Asian Books is an incredible resource year-round, and both it and this year’s challenge contain an LGBT category. With that in mind, I’veRead More

5 Sapphic Books to Read for Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month

April 30, 2025 by Alice P.

May is Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month, so I wanted to highlight some of my favorite books that feature AAPI sapphic characters! As a Korean-American lesbian, this representation is very important to me and I can’t wait to share it with the Lesbrary community. Damned If You Do by Alex Brown Alex Brown’s debutRead More

Dragon-Slaying Knights and Devotion: Brighter than Scale, Swifter than Flame by Neon Yang Review

April 3, 2025 by Caelin

I love stories about knights, especially gay knights, and especially repressed knights. Something about the parallels of wearing full armour to protect yourself and keeping all emotional walls up is something I find extremely compelling to read. So Neon Yang’s novella Brighter Than Scale, Swifter Than Flame (out May 6th, 2025), about a stoic knight who never removes herRead More

Queer Bandits Fight Back: The Water Outlaws by S.L. Huang Review

March 17, 2025 by Maggie

The Water Outlaws by S.L. Huang is an action-packed, genderbent homage to a work of classic Chinese literature, but you don’t have to have prior knowledge of the source material to have a good time with these bandits. In Liangshan, a large group of bandits, mostly women, are forced to live outside the bounds ofRead More

A Sweet and Swoony YA Romance: Love Points to You by Alice Lin Review

February 28, 2025 by Danika Ellis

First of all, this is of my all-time favourite YA covers. It’s so adorable. And I’m happy to say that the story delivered. We’re following Lynda, a teenager who is devoted to getting into her dream art school. Unfortunately, her father just remarried and she now has to share a room with her stepsister, Josie.Read More

A Queer and Compassionate Foodie Manga Series: She Loves to Cook, and She Loves to Eat Vols 1-5 by Sakaomi Yuzaki Review

February 23, 2025 by Danika Ellis

We’ve recommended this sapphic manga series at the Lesbrary several times before, but that was when there were only a couple volumes out. I just finished volume five, and I needed to let you all know that it has only gotten better with time. She Loves to Cook, and She Loves to Eat is myRead More

Separated Sisters and Warring Gods: The Gods Below by Andrea Stewart Review

February 21, 2025 by Vic

Andrea Stewart’s The Gods Below is the start to her new Hollow Covenant trilogy, which follows two sisters in the aftermath of a war between gods. The sisters are not gods—they are ordinary people, forced to flee their home before the prevailing god could change it, and them, into something unrecognizable. While Hakara, the oldest, makes it intoRead More

Three Hope-Filled Sapphic Graphic Novels

January 26, 2025 by Emory Rose

I appreciate when coming-of-age stories show people continuing to learn and grow through college and beyond, and this month, I read three graphic novels in that vein: two college stories and one memoir. All of these stand-alone books feature adults but are appropriate for young adult readers, and all of them are lighthearted. Bunt! StrikingRead More

A Ride You Won’t Forget: Your Driver is Waiting by Priya Guns Review

January 19, 2025 by Raquel R. Rivera

Your Driver is Waiting is a whirlwind debut that you should immediately add to your TBR. Engaging, timely, and compulsively readable, Priya Guns’ (she/her) writing style kept my attention from page 1 all the way through the acknowledgments. That’s no small feat. Guns charms readers with her portrayal of chaotic, yet lovable Damani Krishanthan, a Tamil,Read More
