Cozy Meets Eldritch Horror in Direct Descendant by Tanya Huff

May 12, 2025 by Susanne Salehi

A force to be reckoned with, Tanya Huff has been writing books for nearly forty years. I grew up among her worlds, inhaling words and dreaming of places that would welcome me one day. I still have tattered copies of No Quarter (1996) and Summon the Keeper (1998) on my bookshelves. So, it’s not much of a surprise thatRead More

Have a Fire Extinguisher Ready: All Fired Up by M. K. England Review

May 10, 2025 by Jazelle H.

Nicole Wells left Seattle two years ago for a master’s in fire dynamics and some much-needed space. Now she’s back, ready to hit reset on her life…and take one last chance on best friend/unrequited love Skylar Clark. But Nic’s plans crumble when Skylar announces she’s quitting her job and moving to Fiji. Kira McKinney steppedRead More

A Beguiling and Mysterious Fantasy: Where Shadows Bloom by Catherine Bakewell Review

May 1, 2025 by Caelin

Where Shadows Bloom by Catherine Bakewell describes itself thus: A mesmerizing daydream with a subtle edge of darkness that will leave you utterly unable to put it down, Where Shadows Bloom pits terrifying monsters, chilling secrets, capricious gods, immortal kings, and death itself against the unstoppable love between two girls. Sadly, I found this set my expectations tooRead More

A Sapphic Celestial Slow Burn: Conjuring & Crossroads by Luciana Morfa

April 26, 2025 by Zauditu S.

You know that feeling when you finish a book and just kind of… sit there, clutching it to your chest like it personally changed your life? That was me after reading Conjuring & Crossroads by Luciana Morfa. It’s one of those reads that sneaks up on you—fun and swoony at first, and then suddenly you’re crying over two goddesses learning how to love each other through centuries of baggage.

The Unlikely Pursuit of Mary Bennet cover
Lesbrary Reviews

Beyond Pride and Prejudice: The Unlikely Pursuit of Mary Bennet by Lindz McLeod

April 18, 2025 by Vic

Despite what the title suggests, Lindz McLeod’s The Unlikely Pursuit of Mary Bennet (out April 29th) is in fact a Pride and Prejudice retelling that centers Charlotte Lucas, Lizzie’s best friend, who marries the dull Mr. Collins. Set four years after the original novel, McLeod’s story begins with Mr. Collins’s death, a rather somber start that quickly brightens upRead More

A Book for the Emo Romance Girlies: Afterlove by Tanya Byrne

April 16, 2025 by Jamie Rose

Maybe it’s the emo kid in me, but my favorite sapphic romances are the ones that break my heart and make me cry before putting me back together with a well-earned happily ever after. One such book that I recently enjoyed is Afterlove by Tanya Byrne. This story about the enduring power of love played with myRead More

A TBR Shame Spiral in Six Titles

April 14, 2025 by Theo

As a librarian, my TBR (to-be-read) shelf is never ending. Every time I think I am going to crack down on my whole bookshelf of unread books, something amazing comes through the returns chute, or my VERY well-meaning coworkers share something that they think I will love (most times they are right on the money)Read More

Hiding and Healing: Cover Story by Celia Laskey

April 12, 2025 by Jazelle H.

What’s the biggest lie you’ve told about yourself? It’s 2005, and Ali is a publicist for Hollywood’s biggest stars. Part of her job entails keeping gay celebrities in the closet—which is pretty ironic, since she’s a lesbian. When Ali is assigned a new gay client, Cara Bisset, who’s breaking onto the scene with a (hetero)Read More

Meet Your Next Fantasy Comfort Read: Walk Between Worlds by Samara Breger

April 2, 2025 by Susanne Salehi

Samara Breger made her debut in 2021 with Walk Between Worlds, a funny, relatable, fantasy romance that gently soothes the little broken part in all of us. The book is widely advertised with the tagline that it “will make you laugh even as it keeps you on the edge of your seat,” and I’ll enthusiastically secondRead More

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.
