A Zombie Invasion at Pride Novel Doesn’t Nail the Landing: The Z Word by Lindsay King-Miller

April 26, 2024 by Danika Ellis

Buy this from Bookshop.org to support local bookstores and the Lesbrary! I was so excited to pick this up. I read Eat Your Heart Out by Dayna Ingram more than 10 years ago (!) and I’ve been searching for a similar fun and gory sapphic zombie adventure ever since. At first, I thought I’d foundRead More

Kelleen Reviews Three Novellas to Marathon This Summer

June 29, 2022 by Lesbrarians

Caroline’s Heart by Austin Chant I read Caroline’s Heart by Austin Chant for the first time this month and it blew my mind. It’s a queer trans historical western fantasy novella and it’s just so GOOD. I don’t read a lot of fantasy and I don’t read a lot of westerns, but I love aRead More

This Pride, I wanted to put out a post every day celebrating bi and lesbian books: some of them new, some old favourites, and some updated versions of posts I’ve done before. I really enjoyed putting these together, and it’s given me new encouragement to keep regularly putting out articles and lists! I also madeRead More

11 Literally Perfect Sapphic Novels

June 22, 2020 by Danika Ellis

I don’t give out five stars on Goodreads very easily. Basically, the only times I do are either when I can’t think of any way it could have been improved, or when they are life-changing books for me, even if they are flawed in some way. (It’s hard for straight lit to make the cut,Read More

Celebrate Pride with Rainbow Book Covers!

June 20, 2020 by Danika Ellis

The first Pride was a riot. A riot against police. This Pride, support Black Americans protesting for their rights. When you’re building your Pride TBR, support Black LGBTQ authors and Black-owned bookstores. Is it even Pride if you’re not bombarded with rainbows from every direction? I am a tacky queer, so I love it all year round (althoughRead More

Reading Black Joy: F/F Romances by Black Authors

June 17, 2020 by Danika Ellis

This Pride, support Black Americans protesting for their rights. When you’re building your Pride TBR, support Black LGBTQ authors and Black-owned bookstores.

Bosom Friends: The Gay Anne of Green Gables Scandal

June 11, 2020 by Danika Ellis

Anne of Green Gables was always a book that my mom really wanted me to love, which meant introducing it to me too young, and me stubbornly refusing to read it. (I think I decided that I wouldn’t like it entirely based off the first sentence. Which, on reflection as an adult, is delightful.) I didn’tRead More

100 Must-Read Bisexual and Lesbian Books

June 8, 2020 by Danika Ellis

When I was just a babygay, I passionately identified as both queer and bookish, but I had not yet considered the intersection between the two. It was one conversation with my mom about lesbian books that set me on a lifelong path of queer women reading. It went like this: “Danika, have you read Rubyfruit Jungle byRead More
