Celebrating Queer Women Literature!

@biandlesbianliterature / biandlesbianliterature.tumblr.com

I run the Lesbrary and have a booktube channel. Check out the Lesbrary Goodreads project for lists of lesbian and bi women books by topic and genre. See the Master Post of Lesbian and Bi Women Book Recommendations for my favorites. Mostly lesbian lit, always bi-, ace-, aro-, and trans-inclusive.

Hi there! Do you know of any lesbian/wlw stories that involve some kind of car/vehicle racing or even just mechanics? Preferably non-YA if there are options

lgbtqreads answered:

Hmm, for a mechanics-related adult romance, check out Meka James's Mechanics of Love. Otherwise, all I know is YA, i.e. the upcoming Furious by Jamie Pacton and Rebecca Podos.

Hi, I'm looking for self-published queer books by authors of color. They are hard to find. Any identity is fine. I recently read The Fall That Saved Us by Tamara Jeree and it was so good!

lgbtqreads answered:

Fiona Zedde has a bunch; check out the Like Her series: https://amzn.to/3tEfx0s

Ditto Katrina Jackson - I think all her books are self-pub, and many are queer: https://amzn.to/3TIpch6

Same with Jack Harbon, minus the one Audible book: https://amzn.to/3NNyDrP

Rebekah Weatherspoon is a hybrid publisher, so if you want something self-pubbed of hers, try Xeni: https://amzn.to/48lEgFN

Ditto Alisha Rai, and A Gentleman in the Street: https://amzn.to/48erGIh

And Courtney Milan, and Hold Me: https://amzn.to/4aC9SZl

And NG Peltier, and Sweethand: https://amzn.to/41FxN6a

And Meka James, and Being Hospitable: https://amzn.to/3vj80Vf

For a YA, try Secrets of Eden by Brandon Goode: https://amzn.to/47jjPYR

hi! so I just watched the netflix show xo, kitty and I absolutely loved it!! Now I'm very much in a fun ya queer romance mood. my problem is there are SO MANY out there I don't know which to pick! (never thought this would be an issue id be having when I was a teenager! that makes me happy :)) anyway I was wondering if you could give me some recs you wish more people would read so I can pick from those instead of my massive wishlist lol. thank you!

lgbtqreads answered:

I haven't watched the show so I don't know what's a close match, but I can definitely recommend some fun YA queer romances! Jennifer Dugan writes some of my faves of these - I personally love Hot Dog Girl most but Some Girls Do is her most popular. Love love Leah Johnson's You Should See Me in a Crown, Kelly Quindlen's You Drive Me Crazy, Adiba Jaigirdar's Hani and Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating, Alyson Derrick and Rachael Lippincott's She Gets the Girl, and Becky Albertalli's Imogen, Obviously - those are all Sapphic, and I have a few books that fit, too - Cool for the Summer, Home Field Advantage, and Going Bicoastal!

For some other pairings, I love Camp by L.C. Rosen, Fifteen Hundred Miles from the Sun by Jonny Garza Villa, Always the Almost by Edward Underhill, and How to Repair a Mechanical Heart by JC Lillis in m/m, and I'll Be the One by Lyla Lee is a fave for me in m/f!

I was just thinking that Flip the Script by Lyla Lee looks like a great book for fans of XO, Kitty! It's a cute F/F teen romance set in Korea, with the main character being in a rivalry with another girl over a guy and then falling for her instead. I haven't read it yet, but I've heard great things!

Do you know of any wlw (or just queer in general) romance books set on a train? I know there is “one last stop”, but was looking for more than just that. Thank you for all the hard work you do on this blog!! :)

Unfortunately, that's the only one I know - anyone else?

I haven't read it, but it looks like The Turning Point by Amy Paine is, and then there's Price of Honor by Radclyffe, which looks like it's part love story, part thriller.
