Epic Sapphic Fantasy at Its Finest: The Unbroken by C.L. Clark Review

July 16, 2025 by Jamie Rose

Like any normal book dragon with ADHD, my shelves are filled with highly recommended books that I bought a while ago but haven’t read yet. One such book, the one that has sat near the top of my to-read pile the longest, is The Unbroken by C.L. Clark, the first book in her Magic of the Lost trilogy. EveryRead More

A Two-Spirit Journey by Ma-Nee Chacaby with Mary Louisa Plummer Review

July 10, 2025 by Danika Ellis

A Two-Spirit Journey: The Autobiography of a Lesbian Ojibwa-Cree Elder by Ma-Nee Chacaby with Mary Louisa Plummer was this year’s winner of Canada Reads, and if you’re not Canadian, I can tell you that’s a big deal. It’s a TV/radio program where five “personalities” (celebrities of some kind) debate which book the country should beRead More

A TBR Shame Spiral in Six Titles

April 14, 2025 by Theo

As a librarian, my TBR (to-be-read) shelf is never ending. Every time I think I am going to crack down on my whole bookshelf of unread books, something amazing comes through the returns chute, or my VERY well-meaning coworkers share something that they think I will love (most times they are right on the money)Read More

Horror that Lingers: We Came to Welcome You by Vincent Tirado Review

February 5, 2025 by Susanne Salehi

Mesmerizing, sickening, echoing-hole-in-your-stomach, roller coaster lurch of a creeping inferno: Vincent Tirado’s We Came to Welcome You: A Novel of Suburban Horror is all that and more. Released in the last quarter of 2024, to the tune of “The Other Black Girl meets Midsommar,” the book takes the banal normalcy of racism and colonialism and twists it until itsRead More

A Queer, Anti-Colonial Sci-Fi Novella: Countess by Suzan Palumbo

November 1, 2024 by Ire

This review contains spoilers. Countess by Suzan Palumbo is a short science fiction novel that is a love story to the West Indies and its people even lightyears and generations away from the islands of Earth. It follows Virika Sameroo, a soldier for the Æcerbot Empire that controls and subjugates people like Virika just as theRead More

A Brutal Colonial Horror Story: To the Bone by Alena Bruzas

October 24, 2024 by Til

To the Bone is the story of Ellis, an indentured girl in the Jamestown settlement of the Virginia colony. Ellis aspires toward little more than goodness; born poor in the late 1500s, she can neither read nor count, but understands the world as preachers sketch its edges. She works hard as a servant to the semi-prominentRead More

An Immersive Steampunk Mystery: A Master of Djinn by P. Djèlí Clark

October 23, 2024 by Emory Rose

A Master of Djinn by P. Djèlí Clark is many things: a steampunk mystery, an anti-colonial historical, an at once dark and whimsical fantasy, and more. But if I had to sum it up in one word, it would be fun. This book gives the reader plenty to chew on while immersing them in a rich world, anRead More

September 16, 2024 by Maggie

When The Lesbrary received an ARC of This World is Not Yours by Kemi Ashing-Giwa, I had to pick it up. This science fiction novella, which came out September 10, 2024, takes place on a colony world far in the future and involves space corporation politics, a planet with an unusual ecosystem that probably should not haveRead More
