A Dashing Lesbian Adventure in Fantasy Egypt: A Master of Djinn by P. Djéli Clark

May 2, 2023 by Larkie

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Sometimes when I’m reading/watching something, I think: what if this dashing, cavalier, risk-taking, slightly messy hero was a lesbian? Have you considered doing this exact story, literally nothing changed, except that instead of a vaguely scruffy man, this hero was a vaguely scruffy lesbian? I’m not the onlyRead More

May 1, 2023 by Danika Ellis

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Mickey is a Black queer author in NYC trying to make a name for herself.

Rachel reviews House of Hunger by Alexis Henderson

December 13, 2022 by Lesbrarians

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link From the author of The Year of the Witching (Penguin 2020) comes a new queer Gothic novel about blood, power, and control. House of Hunger (Penguin 2022) was enthralling until the very last page, and I still want more!  House of Hunger is set in a world where the upper class literallyRead More

Danika reviews House of Hunger by Alexis Henderson

October 29, 2022 by Danika Ellis

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link On paper, this should have been the perfect book for me to read Halloween month. I’m fascinated by the historical figure of Elizabeth Bathory, I love a (fictional) obsessive and unhealthy sapphic relationship, and this sounds like it would be a blood-soaked, sexy Gothic in the vein ofRead More

Vic reviews Burn Down, Rise Up by Vincent Tirado

September 25, 2022 by Lesbrarians

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I am still a relative newbie when it comes to horror, but Vincent Tirado’s Burn Down, Rise Up served as a fantastic entry point for me.  When Bronx high schooler Raquel’s mother falls into a coma with a mysterious illness on the same day that her crush’s cousin disappears, RaquelRead More

Sam reviews Robins in the Night by Dajo Jago

September 24, 2022 by Lesbrarians

I first read Robins in the Night by Dajo Jago shortly after it came out in 2015. The literary landscape of lesbian fantasy novels was far scarcer even seven years ago than it is today; the YA publishing engine hadn’t yet realized the market it could exploit, and stumbling upon even a halfway decent bookRead More

Meagan Kimberly reviews Crossfire: A Litany for Survival by Staceyann Chin

August 23, 2022 by Lesbrarians

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I had the privilege to see Staceyann Chin do a live reading at Miami Book Fair a few years ago, which is where and why I picked up this collection. Her performance was electric and captivating, and that strong voice translates well on the page. Every piece isRead More

Meagan Kimberly reviews The Space Between Worlds by Micaiah Johnson

June 28, 2022 by Lesbrarians

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Cara is a traverser in a world where travel between universes has been discovered. In most worlds, she’s dead, making her the perfect candidate for the job, as traveling to worlds where your counterpart is still alive results in your death. But the protagonist isn’t all she seems,Read More

Nat reviews Stud Like Her by Fiona Zedde

May 31, 2022 by Lesbrarians

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I actually read Stud Like Her for the first time as soon as it came out, and thought about reviewing it then, but then I thought *everyone* was going to be reviewing it because there are so few books about studs loving other studs. As I was rereadingRead More
