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 Caroline is generally withdrawn and easily flustered, but a serious and high-achieving student with a few close friends.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
Small-Town Ghosts: We Don’t Swim Here by Vincent Tirado Review
Tirado’s second young adult horror novel is an alternating POV story following two main characters: cousins, Anais and Bronwyn. Anais has always lived in the small, rural, secluded town of Hillwoods, a place to which Bronwyn is now forced to move so that her entire family may spend time with her grandmother while she’s inRead More
A Sciencey Sapphic Read: Rani Choudhury Must Die by Adiba Jaigirdar
Rani Choudhury Must Die by Adiba Jaigirdar is a book I’ve been looking forward to. I really enjoyed Hani and Ishu’s Guide to Fake Dating, as well as The Henna Wars by the same author, and I was in the mood for a teen read! This story follows Rani and Meghna, ex-best friends who find out they’re dating theRead 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
A Bittersweet Supernatural Romp: Even Though I Knew the End by C.L. Polk Review
At the close of 2024, I offer up my favorite read of the year: C.L. Polk’s Even Though I Knew the End. This novella catapulted me through five acts in the span of 133 pages, and it hurt in the best possible way. Settle in for a gritty noir detective story: January 1941, Chicago. The coldRead More
A Lush Horror Novella Embracing Death and Renewal: Green Fuse Burning by Tiffany Morris Review
“Why did people need to be in nature to process the things that happened to them? Maybe it was because what was thought of as wild did not require a veil—it saw you as you truly were: an animal skulking among animals.” Though I haven’t read a lot of horror, there is plenty of horrorRead 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
