Danika reviews The Legend of Auntie Po by Shing Yin Khor
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link This is a quiet, almost slice-of-life graphic novel about a 13-year-old queer Chinese American girl’s life at a logging camp.

Marieke reviews When The Tiger Came Down The Mountain by Nghi Vo
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link [This review contains spoilers] The Singing Hills cycle is a series of stories about storytelling, which happens to be one of my favourite narrative themes. You don’t need to have read the first one (which is also sapphic) in order to appreciate this second instalment. The debut novellaRead More
Danika reviews The Chosen and the Beautiful by Nghi Vo
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link When I heard that a queer Vietnamese American The Great Gatsby retelling was coming out, I immediately requested a review copy. I can’t resist sapphic retellings, especially literary ones. There’s one little hiccup to me reviewing this book, though: I’ve never read The Great Gatsby. I haven’t evenRead More
Danika reviews Hani and Ishu’s Guide to Fake Dating by Adiba Jaigirdar
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link You might remember Adiba Jaigirdar from her previous book, The Henna Wars! This is another YA romance between two teenage girls of colour, set in Ireland, and I liked it even better than her debut. Humaira (“Hani”) and Ishita (“Ishu”) are the only two brown girls at theirRead More

Rachel reviews Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I read Malinda Lo’s newest book, Last Night at the Telegraph Club (2021) about a month ago, and I’m still thinking about it. If you’re looking for a slice of mid-twentieth-century lesbian culture with some wonderful Chinese American representation and rich social history, Last Night at the Telegraph Club is forRead More
Danika reviews Zara Hossain Is Here by Sabina Khan
Zara Hossain is Here surprised me. This is a short book, and it’s written in a way that feels pared down to the essentials. When the story begins, Zara is experiencing Islamophobic harassment from the star football player at school, but she has a strong network and friends and family that supports her. This harassmentRead More
Danika reviews How Do We Relationship? Volumes 1 & 2 by Tamifull
Although I’m far from an expert, I’ve really been enjoying yuri manga lately, especially lesbian manga. (Check out my post: Lesbian Manga and Yuri Manga: What’s the Difference and Where Should You Start?) Although I enjoyed books like Girl Friends, I’d rather read about adult characters–hopefully ones that use words like lesbian, bisexual, or queer toRead More
