In Defense of Messy Main Characters: Skye Falling by Mia McKenzie Review

February 20, 2025 by Danika Ellis

I can’t count how many people I’ve recommended The Summer We Got Free by Mia McKenzie since I read it ten years ago. It’s just such an atmospheric, beautifully written, absorbing story. And yet, when she came out with her next novel, Skye Falling, I inexplicably didn’t pick it up. Since then, Skye Falling hasRead More

Horror that Lingers: We Came to Welcome You by Vincent Tirado Review

February 5, 2025 by Susanne Salehi

Mesmerizing, sickening, echoing-hole-in-your-stomach, roller coaster lurch of a creeping inferno: Vincent Tirado’s We Came to Welcome You: A Novel of Suburban Horror is all that and more. Released in the last quarter of 2024, to the tune of “The Other Black Girl meets Midsommar,” the book takes the banal normalcy of racism and colonialism and twists it until itsRead More

A Compelling Queer Indigenous Fantasy: To Shape a Dragon’s Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose Review

January 20, 2025 by Maggie

I love a magic school book, and I love a dragon book, and I especially love a dragon school book. To Shape a Dragon’s Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose was such a great entry to the genre. I couldn’t put it down, and I keep thinking about its innovative world-building. Anequs is the protagonist I didn’t know I’veRead More

A Geeky, Charming Workplace Romance: Single Player by Tara Tai Review

January 7, 2025 by Danika Ellis

In this dual POV romance, Cat starts working at a video game company, hired to add in romance plot lines to a fantasy game in progress. Her boss is Andi (who uses she/they pronouns), who is skeptical of the addition of romance to the game, to put it generously. It’s the result of a “suggestion”Read More

A Tough But Necessary Read: Chain-Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah Review

December 2, 2024 by Emilia Ferrante

Content warnings for pretty much everything: violence, gore, racism, incarceration, solitary confinement, self harm, cutting At the time of writing this, it’s barely been three weeks since the 2024 presidential election in the United States, which Donald Trump won by a handy margin. Although Chain-Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah came out over a yearRead More

The Unique Venom of Found Family: Sister Snake by Amanda Lee Koe Review

November 30, 2024 by Danika Ellis

Su and Emerald are sisters with nothing in common: Su lives in Singapore, playing the perfect wife to her conservative politician husband. Emerald is a queer sugar baby in New York, barely scraping by living with an artist friend. While their current lives look very different and they rarely speak, they have a shared past:Read More

Lesbrary Reviews

A Brutal Colonial Horror Story: To the Bone by Alena Bruzas

October 24, 2024 by Til

To the Bone is the story of Ellis, an indentured girl in the Jamestown settlement of the Virginia colony. Ellis aspires toward little more than goodness; born poor in the late 1500s, she can neither read nor count, but understands the world as preachers sketch its edges. She works hard as a servant to the semi-prominentRead More

Lesbrary Reviews

An Immersive Steampunk Mystery: A Master of Djinn by P. Djèlí Clark

October 23, 2024 by Emory Rose

A Master of Djinn by P. Djèlí Clark is many things: a steampunk mystery, an anti-colonial historical, an at once dark and whimsical fantasy, and more. But if I had to sum it up in one word, it would be fun. This book gives the reader plenty to chew on while immersing them in a rich world, anRead More

Feral Eldritch Ballerinas: I Feed Her to the Beast and the Beast Is Me by Jamison Shea

October 22, 2024 by Danika Ellis

Laure is a ballet dancer who has devoted herself entirely to her profession. She spends every waking moment honing her skill. And she is perfect. But as she soon learns, perfect is not enough. It doesn’t matter that she’s the best, because she’s fighting to rise up in an institution that sees her working classRead More

Must-Read Poetry Collections by Queer Women

October 5, 2024 by Anna N.

It can be easy to feel overwhelmed during trying times, and to feel like you have less time/energy to sit down with a book and really immerse yourself in plot or nonfiction. I’ve personally always turned to poetry during periods like this, and in light of everything going on everywhere, these books have been particularlyRead More
