What can I say: around December, I start craving Christmas romances, both in movie and book form. The sapphic Christmas movie selection may still be pretty weak, but at least we have plenty of seasonal sapphic romance books to choose from. I enjoyed the previous Ashley Herring Blake romances I read, so this seemed likeRead More
The Diversity of the Ace Experience: Kiss Me, Maybe by Gabriella Gamez
Picture this: you’re me, enjoying your whirlwind first-ever trip to the iconic Powell’s Books in Portland, and you spot a staff recommendation tag with the words “asexual lesbian” prominently featured. You are, in fact, an ace lesbian, so you’re certainly not used to accidentally finding representation in the bookstore. Naturally, you immediately pick up the book inRead More
A Toxic Polyamorous Bisexual Gothic Fantasy: Savage Blooms by S.T. Gibson Review
Since this is the Lesbrary, I’ll start by saying this has a M/F/M/F, bisexual, polyamorous, why choose relationship. That’s six different pairings, and the F/F relationship doesn’t get a lot of page time in this, though it’s the first book in a trilogy. I look forward to it being explored more in the next twoRead More
A Swoony, Sexy Sports Romance: Cleat Cute by Meryl Wilsner
Anyone who knows me knows that there are three things I love most in the world: lesbians, books, and sports. If you put the three together, I’ll be sat every time. It was that premise that led me to pick up Meryl Wilsners rivals-to-lovers sapphic novel, Cleat Cute. Equal parts swoony and sexy, Cleat Cute follows the growingRead More
A Steamy Friends-to-Lovers Beach Read: My Best Friend’s Honeymoon by Meryl Wilsner Review
This summer, I really fell in love with reading by the water. I did some beach reading, but mostly, I just packed a bottle of water and a snack, walked myself down to the waterway, found a bench, and cracked open a book. It’s so peaceful. And between the cover and setting of My BestRead More
A Steamy Sapphic Vampire/Selkie Romantasy: Blood on the Tide by Katee Robert Review
Last year, I read the first book in this series, Hunt On Dark Waters. It’s a romantasy with a bisexual witch main character named Evelyn and a telekinetic guy love interest (Bowen). While the writing felt a bit clunky to me, I still had a fun time reading it, and I was especially intrigued byRead More
A Delightful Historical Romp: An Island Princess Starts a Scandal by Adriana Herrera Review
An Island Princess Starts a Scandal is the second book in the Las Leonas historical romance series by Adriana Herrera. Fortunately, it can be easily read as a standalone if you’re interested. Sadly, it is the only sapphic entry in the series, but I’m so happy I picked it up! The novel is set primarilyRead More
Exploring the Ace Spectrum: Kiss Me, Maybe by Gabriella Gamez
Librarian Angela Gutierrez has never been kissed. But after posting a video about her late bloomer status and ace identity, she’s finally ready to get some firsts out of the way.

All Damsels, Hold the Distress: Witches, Princesses, and Women at Arms edited by Sacchi Green Review
This was a fun, steamy romp with a side of sexy subversion. It was an anthology I didn’t know existed until I came across it on my Libby one day and absolutely had to read it. (Shameless plug for the Queer Liberation Library—you can sign up for a card for free if you have anRead More
Love in the Times of Seaside Horror: Providence Girls by Morgan Dante Review
In the past couple of years, I have discovered some real gems of independent and self-published sapphic literature. Last May, I read Morgan Dante’s stunning Providence Girls, which won Best Historical Fiction at the 2023 Indie Ink awards. The author pitches it as “a seaside sapphic cosmic horror romance” in the vein of The Handmaiden and The Shape ofRead More
