Nat reviews The Verifiers by Jane Pek

June 26, 2022 by Lesbrarians

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Are you looking for a dystopian mystery in the vein of Dave Eggers’s The Circle, with a high stakes, lesbian Nancy Drew vibe and a heaping side of Person of Interest (where no gays are harmed in the making)? Then this is the book for you, my friend.Read More

April 26, 2022 by Lesbrarians

Susan reviews The Elusive Mr Vanderbridge by Cat Parra, Erica Chan, and Zora Gilbert

February 15, 2022 by Lesbrarians

Clement Vanderbridge is acting suspiciously; he’s a well-known architect in prohibition-era New York and famously teetotal, but disappears every Friday night only to turn up smelling of alcohol and cigarettes. Fortunately, Stella Argyle and Flora Fontaine are on the case – reporters working for rival newspapers, competing for the scoop. Or, to put it anotherRead More

Rachel reviews Real Easy by Marie Rutkoski

February 8, 2022 by Lesbrarians

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Readers might know Marie Rutkoski’s work from her young adult Winner’s Curse trilogy (2014-2016) or her more recent f/f fantasy series, Forgotten Gods.

Danika reviews Cold by Mariko Tamaki

January 30, 2022 by Danika Ellis

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I’m writing this having just finished Cold, and I can still feel an ache in my chest. My heart breaks for Georgia and Todd, and all the Georgias and Todds. This is a YA mystery told from two perspectives. Todd is a young queer teen who was foundRead More

Danika reviews Murder Most Actual by Alexis Hall

December 31, 2021 by Danika Ellis

Clue is my all-time favourite movie, and I’m a sucker for any kind of snowed in story, so when I heard the premise for Murder Most Actual, I was immediately hooked. It follows Liza and Hanna, who have booked a getaway in a fancy hotel in the Scottish Highlands to try to patch up theirRead More

The Headmistress cover
Lesbrary Reviews

Nat reviews The Headmistress by Milena McKay

November 29, 2021 by Lesbrarians

Amazon Affiliate Link The first thing you should know before you start The Headmistress is not to make assumptions. You may think a book involving Three Dragons Academy is set in a fantasy world and might contain, well, dragons. You may assume a book called The Headmistress will be a kinkcentric read. (Ahem, as in,Read More

Sponsored Review: Danika reviews A Queer Death at Secret Pearl by J.C. Morgan

October 10, 2021 by Danika Ellis

I have to admit, “cozy mystery set at a lesbian retirement community” was a tagline I could not resist. A Queer Death at Secret Pearl begins with Judith moving into Secret Pearl and immediately meeting an aggressively welcoming Cynthia, who attempts to take her on a tour, but is so high that she gets them lost untilRead More
