A Bánh Mì for Two by Trinity Nguyen (she/her) is the perfect delicacy to round out your February reading. This dual perspective debut novel follows two young women over the course of a semester as they learn more about themselves, each other, and the rich, beautiful, and complex Vietnamese culture that binds them. Lan is aRead More
Three Hope-Filled Sapphic Graphic Novels
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
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
A Wicked Wonderland: Off With Their Heads by Zoe Hana Mikuta Review
It’s been five years since young witches and lovers Caro Rabbit and Iccadora Alice Sickle were both sentenced to Wonderland, the dark forest where monsters called Saints lurk, for a crime they didn’t commit. In the process of escaping, they break one another’s hearts. Now Icca will stop at nothing to exact her revenge onRead More
A Geeky, Charming Workplace Romance: Single Player by Tara Tai Review
In this dual POV romance, Cat starts working at a video game company, hired to add in romance plot lines to a fantasy game in progress. Her boss is Andi (who uses she/they pronouns), who is skeptical of the addition of romance to the game, to put it generously. It’s the result of a “suggestion”Read More
A Quiet, Slice of Life Sapphic Graphic Novel: Firebird by Sunmi Review
Firebird by Sunmi is a two-color graphic novel that tells the story of Caroline and Kim, two girls who meet in tutoring and become friends… and then fall for each other. Caroline is generally withdrawn and easily flustered, but a serious and high-achieving student with a few close friends. Kim is outgoing, glib, friends with everyone,Read More
Pacific Rim Meets Crier’s War: Gearbreakers by Zoe Hana Mikuta
Gearbreakers by Zoe Hana Mikuta is one of those books that somehow passed me by when it came out in 2021. It follows two teenage girls, Sona and Eris, as they try to destroy the Godolia empire from the inside: Sona as one of the students from the Academy who earns a spot as a frighteningRead More
The Unique Venom of Found Family: Sister Snake by Amanda Lee Koe Review
Su and Emerald are sisters with nothing in common: Su lives in Singapore, playing the perfect wife to her conservative politician husband. Emerald is a queer sugar baby in New York, barely scraping by living with an artist friend. While their current lives look very different and they rarely speak, they have a shared past:Read More
A Fiery Finale: The Lotus Empire by Tasha Suri
In 2021, three brilliant, yellow-covered epic fantasy books came out, all of them with sapphic leads, and thus the Sapphic Trifecta was born. I have read and loved them all (and talked about them here, along with several other Lesbrarians), but I think if I were to pick a favorite, I would have to say TheRead More
Must-Read Poetry Collections by Queer Women
It can be easy to feel overwhelmed during trying times, and to feel like you have less time/energy to sit down with a book and really immerse yourself in plot or nonfiction. I’ve personally always turned to poetry during periods like this, and in light of everything going on everywhere, these books have been particularlyRead More
