A Sentimental Romance That Takes You for a Ride: Whenever You’re Ready by Rachel Runya Katz Review

March 26, 2025 by Emory Rose

Despite not reading reviews about Whenever You’re Ready by Rachel Runya Katz, I set my expectations high for this contemporary romance. Estranged childhood friends-to-lovers, a road trip, siblings, grief and healing, a dual timeline, and third person present tense? Maybe I have some specific selling points, but consider me sold.

Gory Bisexual Horror/Fantasy: The Dead Take the A Train by Cassandra Khaw and Richard Kadrey

December 5, 2023 by Danika Ellis

Buy this from Bookshop.org to support local bookstores and the Lesbrary! One thing about a Cassandra Khaw book: I never know what I’m getting into. Even two-thirds of the way through this, completely invested in the story, I still kept thinking, “What genre is this? And also, what’s the plot?” Julie is a 30-year-old exorcistRead More

A High-Heat Heist: Double Exposure by Rien Gray

September 28, 2023 by Emory Rose

Note: While I’ve avoided major plot spoilers, this review is relatively detailed regarding the character arcs and themes. Fittingly enough, I’ve been exposed to Double Exposure by Rien Gray twice. The first time was through the Happily Ever After Collective, which releases monthly romance novellas from a variety of authors. Last year, Double Exposure released to patrons along withRead More

Sweet, Chaotic Bisexuals: Love at First Set by Jennifer Dugan

September 9, 2023 by Jazelle H.

Bookshop.org Affiliate Link “Queer chaos trumps moral fortitude, especially when making out is involved.” For Lizzie, working at a gym isn’t just a job; it’s her home. For now, she’s only the check-in girl (and occasionally, the owner’s punching bag), but one day, she could manage her own. When her bestie (and emotional support himbo)Read More

Vic reviews Valiant Ladies by Melissa Grey

August 8, 2022 by Lesbrarians

I definitely recommend it to anyone who loves badass historical sword lesbians with a little bit of mystery (and really, how could anyone not love that?)

Kelleen reviews The Inconvenient Heiress by Jane Walsh

July 15, 2022 by Lesbrarians

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
