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
The Queer Heart of the Circle of Magic Series by Tamora Pierce
Something I’ve discovered recently is that you can tell a lot about a person based on which Tamora Pierce series they loved as a child. Song of the Lioness fan? Congratulations on your transition.

Sapphic Novellas To Read In November (Or Any Time!)
You won’t catch me trying to write any novellas this November (respect for anyone who tries to write 50,000 words in a month, it’s just not in my plans any time soon), but I did read a few! To my mind, novellas occupy a challenging space when it comes to fiction. They need to beRead More
Nat reviews Errant (Volumes 1-3) by L.K Fleet
Amazon Affiliate Link I’m always impressed by books that are co-written, but a book with three writers?! A menage-an-author? The Errant series is written by L.K.

Sam reviews Burning Roses by S. L. Huang
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I don’t want to spoil too much about Burning Roses by S.L. Huang, because first and foremost it is short. It is a proper novella, clocking in at just over 150 pages long. If you can get your hands on this little volume, I recommend you slap onRead More

Sam Reviews The Telling by Ursula K Le Guin
Did you know that Ursula K. Le Guin wrote a science fiction novel with a lesbian protagonist? I wouldn’t blame you if not; The Telling is not one of her more popular books. I wasn’t even sure if I wanted to review it—I try to feature sapphic authors with my reviews here, if at all possible. ButRead More
Kelleen reviews The Inconvenient Heiress by Jane Walsh
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I have elected myself president of the Jane Walsh fan club that does not exist. I am painting us Lavender Menace-style t-shirts with stencils and foam brushes and I’ll order broaches on Etsy. I’ll wear a backwards baseball cap as my crown and shout my allegiance from theRead More
