Lucky Day cover
Lesbrary Reviews

When Bisexual Erasure Becomes Existential Horror: Lucky Day by Chuck Tingle Review

December 29, 2025 by Danika Ellis

Okay, Chuck Tingle. You win. I keep trying to be cynical, I keep picking up this horror books thinking the writing style isn’t for me, and I keep being completely won over by the end. Next time, I’m all in from page one, because the concepts Chuck Tingle plays with in these stories are soRead More

The River Has Roots cover
Lesbrary Reviews

A Queer and Feminist Murder Ballad: The River Has Roots by Amal El-Mohtar Review

December 18, 2025 by Danika Ellis

This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone is a modern sapphic classic, but I somehow I ended up reading El-Mohtar’s new novella first. It did not disappoint—in fact, it was the final push I needed to finally pick up This is How You Lose the Time War, andRead More

Briefly, A Delicious Life cover
Lesbrary Reviews

A Beautifully Melancholic Read: Briefly, A Delicious Life by Nell Stevens

December 17, 2025 by Danika Ellis

Briefly, A Delicious Life has been on my radar for years—a literary novel with a sapphic ghost main character? I’m listening. But it made its way to the top of my TBR after I read and loved Nell Stevens’s 2025 release, The Original. This one follows Blanca, who died when she was 14 years oldRead More

I'll Be Gone for Christmas cover
Lesbrary Reviews

A Cozy Queer Christmas Romance for Fans of The Holiday: I’ll Be Gone for Christmas by Georgia K. Boone Review

December 8, 2025 by Danika Ellis

I watch The Holiday every December, so when I heard about a sapphic book coming out with the same premise—two strangers swap houses over the holidays and fall in love with people from each other’s lives—I knew I had to pick it up. As you’d expect, we have two main characters: Clover, who left herRead More

Make the Season Bright cover
Lesbrary Reviews

A Second Chance Christmas Romance: Make the Season Bright by Ashley Herring Blake

December 1, 2025 by Danika Ellis

What can I say: around December, I start craving Christmas romances, both in movie and book form. The sapphic Christmas movie selection may still be pretty weak, but at least we have plenty of seasonal sapphic romance books to choose from. I enjoyed the previous Ashley Herring Blake romances I read, so this seemed likeRead More

The Salvage cover
Lesbrary Reviews

A Claustrophobic Sapphic Gothic: The Salvage by Anbara Salam Review

November 1, 2025 by Danika Ellis

Before I get into it, I will say that my favourite part of this book was how information was slowly revealed, so I recommend going into this without knowing much about it. If you’re in the mood for a claustrophobic gothic novel set on a small, frozen-over island, pick this one up and skip overRead More

My Darling Dreadful Thing cover
Lesbrary Reviews

A Bloody Gothic Love Story: My Darling Dreadful Thing by Johanna Van Veen

October 31, 2025 by Danika Ellis

Roos has been kept small her whole life. First, when she was five years old, hiding under the floorboards to help her mother fake seances. Then, when she got older and began participating in these seances herself, she was kept underfed to appear younger and more delicate. But while her abusive mother kept her isolated,Read More

House of Beth cover
Lesbrary Reviews

The Horror of Getting Everything You Thought You Wanted: House of Beth by Kerry Cullen Review

October 24, 2025 by Danika Ellis

Cassie is a bisexual woman with harm OCD. She is struggling at an entry level publishing job with a boss she hates, reading manuscripts at all hours despite no longer being sure this is the industry for her. She loves her girlfriend, Lavender, but feels like Lavender would be horrified if she knew about herRead More

Someone You Can Build a Nest In cover
Lesbrary Reviews

Family Can Be Monstrous: Someone You Can Build A Nest In by John Wiswell

October 17, 2025 by Danika Ellis

In some ways, I have a harder time describing this book now than I did before I read it. That isn’t to say that it’s dense or confusing. But the tone is unique, which makes it hard to categorize. You could call this a sapphic monster romance, but that doesn’t feel quite right. It’s definitelyRead More

the cover of Savage Blooms
Lesbrary Reviews

A Toxic Polyamorous Bisexual Gothic Fantasy: Savage Blooms by S.T. Gibson Review

October 16, 2025 by Danika Ellis

Since this is the Lesbrary, I’ll start by saying this has a M/F/M/F, bisexual, polyamorous, why choose relationship. That’s six different pairings, and the F/F relationship doesn’t get a lot of page time in this, though it’s the first book in a trilogy. I look forward to it being explored more in the next twoRead More
