Baby’s It’s Cold Outside… Let’s Stay In and Read Sapphic Holiday Romances!

December 9, 2024 by Theo

As the sun goes down at 4pm and the temperatures plunge down to the lower forties (if I am lucky), I can’t help but want to curl up on my couch with my cat, a heated blanket, and a good Christmassy story. Below are a few books that I am hoping to devour this month—feelRead More

A Holiday Romance with Depth: Season of Love by Helena Greer

December 28, 2023 by Danika Ellis

Buy this from Bookshop.org to support local bookstores and the Lesbrary! Every year, I intend to read a bunch of queer holiday romances in December, but I don’t usually follow through with it. The holiday romances that I have read were often flops, which doesn’t help. This year, I gathered together my collection of sapphicRead More

Danika reviews A Merry Little Meet Cute by Julie Murphy and Sierra Simone

December 24, 2022 by Danika Ellis

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Note: This a HarperCollins title. The HarperCollins union has been on strike since November 10th, asking for better pay, more diversity initiatives, and union protections. Learn more at their site. I have never read (or watched) such a horny holiday romance. This is an M/F bisexual/bisexual romance thatRead More

Shana reviews Humbug by Amanda Radley

December 25, 2021 by Lesbrarians

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Humbug is a quiet Christmas novel with an age gap romance. I found it a relaxing and wholesome read, but it’s an unbalanced workplace romance. The book struggled to decide if it wanted to focus on the characters’ careers, or their love story. Ellie is a brilliant statisticianRead More

Kelleen reviews Adriana Herrera’s Sapphic Christmas Romance Novellas

December 17, 2021 by Lesbrarians

‘Tis the season for Christmas romance novellas! I don’t know about anyone else, but for me, Christmas novellas are perfect — they are a straight shot of holiday cheer (even if I’m really not feeling cheery), they keep my attention during a busy busy time of year, and I know others love them because theirRead More

If you also like to theme your reading by season, I’ve picked out some great wintry seasonal sapphic reads. Some of these are Christmas-themed, I’ve got a coupleRead More

December 4, 2021 by Lesbrarians

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Another holiday season, another sapphic Christmas romance. Cozy up with your favorite holiday baked goods and a cup of hot chocolate, because Mangoes and Mistletoe by Adriana Herrera is an awesome addition to the genre. Our story begins in Scotland, where our protagonist, Kiskeya Burgos, is getting readyRead More

Why We Need Queer Holiday Stories

December 26, 2020 by Danika Ellis

I have a little collection of sapphic Christmas books that I save up to read in December. It isn’t a long list, but I try to make room for at least one every year. At first, I wasn’t sure why I was doing it. I don’t feel a strong pull towards Christmas books in general—althoughRead More

Comet’s First Christmas by Delilah Night

Shana reviews Comet’s First Christmas by Delilah Night

December 17, 2020 by Danika Ellis

I love sappy holiday movies, and Comet’s First Christmas nailed the sweet and silly tone of some of my favorites, glossing over any plot holes with Christmas magic.  It’s a sweet, earnest, PG-rated novella about a reindeer shifter who falls for an elf. The worldbuilding is excellent, but the storyline is unlikely to appeal toRead More

SPONSORED REVIEW: Comet’s First Christmas: The North Pole Chronicles by Delilah Night

November 20, 2020 by Danika Ellis

As we enter into the end of 2020, if you’re someone who celebrates Christmas, you’re probably having some strong emotions about it right now. Maybe you want to forget the whole holiday, because we probably can’t celebrate it the way we usually do. Or maybe you, like me, are filling your Netflix queue with holidayRead More
