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

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

A Delicious Debut: A Bánh Mì for Two by Trinity Nguyen

February 16, 2025 by Raquel R. Rivera

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.

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

A Geeky, Charming Workplace Romance: Single Player by Tara Tai Review

January 7, 2025 by Danika Ellis

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

Pacific Rim Meets Crier’s War: Gearbreakers by Zoe Hana Mikuta

December 8, 2024 by Ire

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

November 30, 2024 by Danika Ellis

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

November 15, 2024 by Vic

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
