When I think of books I’ve read that stick out to me, Any Other City sits at the top of the list. You might know the author Hazel Jane Plante from her work Little Blue Encyclopaedia (For Vivian) which I’ve often seen recommended for its unique premise of being told in an A-Z list of moments from the mainRead More
(Mis)fortune Favours the Bold: Misery’s Wife by Joan Tierney
I’ve had my eye on Misery’s Wife since I first saw it pop up on my feed: a Portuguese inspired fairytale featuring three sisters who had been whisked away to marry mysterious kings—one of the ocean, one of the sky, and one of misery—only for their youngest sister to receive a message to save her third sisterRead More
Regency Romance for Fans of Twelfth Night: A Lady for All Seasons by T.J. Alexander Review
“If the mind is desperate to convey a thought, that thought will not be ignored.” I’m a big fan of T.J. Alexander’s romances, not only for their lyrical writing and frequent trans protagonists, but also for how skilled they are at getting me to root for that happy ending. Their latest book, A Lady for AllRead More
A Novel for Mere Mortals: Woodworking by Emily St. James Review
Woodworking by Emily St. James is a novel for mere mortals. It takes place in the shadow of the 2016 presidential election, and of all the goings-on of those few months, of all the things said and seen; Woodworking is set in rural South Dakota, against a backdrop of bad community theatre and doomed local progressiveRead More
7 Transfeminine Sapphic Books I Read In 2025
It’s a tough time to be trans, more so with the socio-cultural complicity and transmisogyny one witnesses even within supposedly progressive queer circles these days. However, as a trans masc author myself, I want to emphasize that while it is alright to call for the boycott of bigoted authors, it is equally—if not more—important toRead More
What is Your Life Story?: In the Form of a Question by Amy Schneider Review
I’ve long since cut the cord on paying for TV, and almost the only thing I miss is Jeopardy!. (I know it’s available on streaming now, but it’s not the same.) So I’ve never actually seen most of Amy Schneider’s record-setting appearances on the show—just a few clips here and there—but I certainly know ofRead More
Heart & Heist in Hammajang Luck by Makana Yamamoto
The cover of Makana Yamamoto’s (they/she/he) Hammajang Luck boldly proclaims its niche as “Sci-fi Heist.” Yamamoto further delineates their novel as a “cyberpunk lesbian space heist,” so it’s safe to say that I was all the way intrigued. The first page yanked me in with the phrase, “Mother just grounded me for war crimes.” One unexpected snort-laughRead More
The Heights and Depths of Queer Trans Nostalgia: A/S/L by Jeanne Thornton Review
When Lilith, Sash, and Abraxa were teenagers in the late 90s, they ran a video game corporation together. They never actually sold a video game, but they worked on an incredibly ambitious text-based (ASCII) game together. Sash was the leader, the idea person who held everyone else to exacting standards. Lilith struggled to design gameRead More
Avenging Your Own Murder: Volatile Memory by Seth Haddon Review
Seth Haddon’s sci-fi debut Volatile Memory (out July 22, 2025) is one of the best novellas I’ve read in a while. The book follows Wylla, a trans woman, as she tries to live her life as a scavenger. She, like other scavengers, goes after bounties and searches for important items to sell in order to earn credits.Read More
Queer, Revelatory Joy in The Deep Dark by Molly Knox Ostertag
Already a fan of Molly Knox Ostertag’s The Girl from the Sea, I had a good feeling about the weighty tome that is The Deep Dark. Friends, this poignant graphic novel delivered and then some. It’s like someone translated the sensation of waiting for the other shoe to drop and described the steps someone would take toRead More
