Ambitious, Brutal, and Brilliant Trans Sapphic Horror: Tell Me I’m Worthless by Alison Rumfitt

March 27, 2023 by Maggie

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I’ve been having a good run with horror lately, and Alison Rumfitt’s stunning work of trans horror Tell Me I’m Worthless kept that streak up. The pull quote on the front cover advertises it as “ambitious, brutal, and brilliant,” and I think that’s a good starting point forRead More

Nat reviews Pack of Her Own by Elena Abbott

March 24, 2023 by Lesbrarians

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I picked up this li’l werewolf book off of a Twitter recommendation – vampires, ghouls, shifters – I expected something of a campy read. Who knew we would be exploring identity, found family, and processing trauma from various angles? If you plopped down a literary fiction tome andRead More

March 18, 2023 by Danika Ellis

In case you missed it, there’s a Trans Rights Readathon happening next week! Read books by trans authors and raise money for trans organizations. I wrote a post about it at Book Riot with more info, but the short version is that this is a great time to read books by trans and nonbinary authors,Read More

Sam reviews Dreadnought & Sovereign by April Daniels

January 28, 2023 by Lesbrarians

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I’m not all that into superheroes—I don’t really read comic books, I don’t follow superhero media—but I really enjoyed both Dreadnought and its sequel Sovereign by April Daniels. The books are set in a comic-book-esque modern day, where supervillains appear in history textbooks and it’s not unusual toRead More

Maggie reviews Queer Little Nightmares edited by David Ly and Daniel Zomparelli 

November 21, 2022 by Lesbrarians

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Queer Little Nightmares, an anthology edited by David Ly and Daniel Zomparelli is a fun and sometimes terrifying collection of queer horror writing. The Lesbrary was provided with a review copy, and I was more than happy to spend time with this collection. Queer Little Nightmares let writers experiment withRead More

Maggie reviews Galaxy: The Prettiest Star by Jadzia Axelrod

October 17, 2022 by Lesbrarians

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link In Galaxy: The Prettiest Star, Taylor has a life-threatening secret. She is the Galaxy-Crowned, an alien princess hiding on Earth from the invaders that destroyed her home as a baby. Taylor’s guardian fled with her and two others to Earth, disguising themselves not only as humans, but alsoRead More

Sam reviews Robins in the Night by Dajo Jago

September 24, 2022 by Lesbrarians

I first read Robins in the Night by Dajo Jago shortly after it came out in 2015. The literary landscape of lesbian fantasy novels was far scarcer even seven years ago than it is today; the YA publishing engine hadn’t yet realized the market it could exploit, and stumbling upon even a halfway decent bookRead More

Kelleen Reviews Three Novellas to Marathon This Summer

June 29, 2022 by Lesbrarians

Caroline’s Heart by Austin Chant I read Caroline’s Heart by Austin Chant for the first time this month and it blew my mind. It’s a queer trans historical western fantasy novella and it’s just so GOOD. I don’t read a lot of fantasy and I don’t read a lot of westerns, but I love aRead More

Maggie reviews Manhunt by Gretchen Felker-Martin

May 8, 2022 by Lesbrarians

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I knew going into Manhunt by Gretchen Felker-Martin that it was going to be a wild ride. The pair of bloody testicles suggested by the cover tells you that right off the bat. And to tell the truth, I’ve mostly gone off of apocalypse fiction the last few years –Read More

Danika reviews Light From Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki

January 23, 2022 by Danika Ellis

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I loved this book, but it’s such a tricky, contradictory one to recommend. It’s about aliens and demons and curses, but it’s also a grounded, realistic character study. It’s hopeful and comforting, but it also contains abuse, bigotry, and a lot of brutal descriptions of transmisogyny. This disparateRead More
