A Bisexual Historical Horror Retelling: Reluctant Immortals by Gwendolyn Kiste
Bookshop.org Affiliate Link This is a fascinating story about the trauma inflicted on women by violent men.

Lucy and Bee enjoy theirRead More
A Dashing Lesbian Adventure in Fantasy Egypt: A Master of Djinn by P. Djéli Clark
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
A Sapphic Sequel to Shakespeare’s The Tempest: Miranda in Milan by Katharine Duckett
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Out of all of Shakespeare’s comedies, The Tempest has always stuck out to me as particularly odd.

Meagan Kimberly reviews Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link In the second of the Locked Tomb series by Tamsyn Muir, we follow the story of Harrow. But this isn’t the same Harrow from Gideon the Ninth.

Maggie reviews A Restless Truth by Freya Marske
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Last year, I was delighted by A Marvellous Light, a gay murder mystery/romance in which Robin, a newly-made Baronet, is appointed to the wrong government office and is accidently drawn into the hidden world of magical society when shadowy forces think he knows more than he does. With a curseRead More
Sam reviews Other Ever Afters by Melanie Gillman
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link If you spend much time on Tumblr—and who doesn’t, these days—there’s a good chance you’ve seen at least one of Melanie Gillman’s gay fairy tale 24-hour comics.

Nat reviews Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I must confess that I’d seen the cover of Legends and Lattes pop up a number of times and thought to myself, eh, too much of a high fantasy book for my tastes. Well, I should know better by now than write off a book based on genre,Read More
