Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Sometimes when I’m reading/watching something, I think: what if this dashing, cavalier, risk-taking, slightly messy hero was a lesbian? Have you considered doing this exact story, literally nothing changed, except that instead of a vaguely scruffy man, this hero was a vaguely scruffy lesbian? I’m not the onlyRead More
Queer Political Sci-Fi with a Gender Trinary: Provenance by Ann Leckie
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Ann Leckie is probably my favorite author. She writes excellent science fiction and fantasy, and her books are jam packed with incredible world building, a mixture of politics and action, and a heavy dose of gender fuckery. I cannot be normal about her books, and almost always goRead More
A Cozy Sapphic Sci-Fi Mystery: The Mimicking of Known Successes by Malka Older
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link In The Mimicking of Known Successes, Malka Older creates a cozy murder mystery in humanity’s distant future on Jupiter. I found this novella to be a delightful, satisfying read. The action clicked along nicely, the world-building was intriguing, and Mossa and Pleiti were great characters. Mossa, an Investigator, isRead More
A Sapphic Sequel to Shakespeare’s The Tempest: Miranda in Milan by Katharine Duckett
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Out of all of Shakespeare’s comedies, The Tempest has always stuck out to me as particularly odd. The play’s initial premise hardly seems like it belongs in a comedy at all—an ousted duke raises his daughter alone on a magical isle, binding spirits to his will and planningRead More
A Bisexual, Magical, Asian American Take on Gatsby: The Chosen and the Beautiful by Nghi Vo, Narrated by Natalie Naudus
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link In this retelling of The Great Gatsby, Jordan Baker narrates the story from the perspective of a queer, Asian woman adopted by a white couple.

Meagan Kimberly reviews Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link In the second of the Locked Tomb series by Tamsyn Muir, we follow the story of Harrow. But this isn’t the same Harrow from Gideon the Ninth. It seems like this is a Harrow from an alternate timeline and the original Harrow died. Except not really. However, thereRead More
Nat reviews Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I must confess that I’d seen the cover of Legends and Lattes pop up a number of times and thought to myself, eh, too much of a high fantasy book for my tastes. Well, I should know better by now than write off a book based on genre,Read More
Til reviews Into the Bloodred Woods by Martha Brockenbrough
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Trigger warnings: gore, torture, death, mutilation, sexual assault, child abuse, violence, harassment… and likely others I’m forgetting. This is a relentless work. Imagine a story that understood the true horror of the old fairy tales, the depths of yearning and human pain that crafted them, and the wonderRead More
Maggie reviews The Luminous Dead by Caitlin Starling
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I have been really into horror lately, and finding a lesbian sci-fi horror was a real boon for me, and The Luminous Dead by Caitlin Starling was a real page-turner. With a spine-tingling atmosphere, a killer setting, and a cast of two, The Luminous Dead draws you into the story as steadilyRead More
The Queer Heart of the Circle of Magic Series by Tamora Pierce
Something I’ve discovered recently is that you can tell a lot about a person based on which Tamora Pierce series they loved as a child. Song of the Lioness fan? Congratulations on your transition. Anyone who was really into the Immortals probably has a disaster prep bag (or three) and is working on their offRead More
