Alien Donut Shops, Cybernetic Tea Rooms, and More Sapphic SFF for Foodies!

June 29, 2023 by Danika Ellis

Is there anything more comforting than reading a cozy fantasy book? Maybe watching The Great British Bake Off. That’s why I love sci-fi and fantasy books that incorporate food, whether it’s a magical bakery or an alien cooking competition. And of course, any book is better with queer characters. Interestingly, I found this list neatlyRead More

Danika reviews The Heartbreak Bakery by A.R. Capetta

December 13, 2021 by Danika Ellis

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link This is where I use the wishy-washy definition of which books the Lesbrary covers (books about a main character who “doesn’t identify as a man and is at least some of the time attracted romantically and/or sexually to others who do not identify as a man”) so thatRead More

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I’m not someone who watches a lot of TV, so I was super surprised to find myself gravitating toward books centered around reality tv shows.

Danika reviews Space Battle Lunchtime Volume 3 by Natalie Riess

March 6, 2021 by Danika Ellis
