I haven't read any fiction for a while because of mental illness making it so hard to concentrate and just being bored of the same straight romance over and over again, but I read Not Your Sidekick in a couple of days and it was amazing! I'm now trying to find more books about wlw to get me back into reading and I really can't wait for Not Your Villain, thank you for creating such an interesting world!
oh, thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the novel and are looking forward to the next one!
as for wlw books, if you haven’t read these try checking these novels out:
Ash by Malinda Lo
Out On Good Behavior by Dahlia Adler
Better To Kiss You With by Michelle Osgood
Not Otherwise Specified by Hannah Moskowitz
Certainly, Possibly, You by Lissa Reed
Storm Season by Pene Henson
The Second Mango by Shira Glassman
The Seafarer’s Kiss by Julia Ember
there’s also a very thorough list of happy-ever-after style wlw books recs here and you should also check out fuckyeahlesbianliterature and the lesbrary !
Do you know any books with a bisexual main character? Preferably not a romance, if possible a fantasy or something like that would be awesome!! Thank you!!!
OH YES. First of all: https://lgbtqreads.com/representation/romantic-sexual-orientation/ so you can always find. (Or if you’d rather look by genre, bi characters are noted with a B: https://lgbtqreads.com/sff/)
But specifically in fantasy, here are some faves:
Labyrinth Lost by Zoraida Cordova
The Seafarer’s Kiss by Julia Ember
The Rules and Regulations for Mediating Myths and Magic by F.T. Lukens
Otherbound by Corinne Duyvis
The Impostor Queen (and the rest of the series) by Sarah Fine
Beneath the Citadel by Destiny Soria
A Darkly Beating Heart by Lindsay Smith
And not fantasy, but taking your “something like that” to heart, The Scorpion Rules by Erin Bow is great.
If you’re more interested in adult, try The Deathsniffer’s Assistant by Kate McIntyre, A Darker Shade of Magic by Victoria Schwab, and if you like gritty Dystopian kind of stuff, the whole Beyond series by Kit Rocha.
More wintry fantasies to read this season, including the sequels to two of the ones from my post last year.

Hiya! Do you know of any novels that are famous (or not) stories retold with queer characters, like Peter Darling or The Song of Achillies?
Sure do! As I Descended by Robin Talley is MacBeth, The Seafarer’s Kiss by Julia Ember is The Little Mermaid (the Norse version), The Dark Wife by Sarah Diemer is Hades/Persephone, Ash by Malinda Lo, Cinder Ella by ST Lynn, Sometime After Midnight by L. Philips, and The Secrets of Eden by Brandon Goode are all Cinderella, Girls Made of Snow and Glass by Melissa Bashardoust is Snow White, Great by Sara Benincasa is The Great Gatsby (caveat that “Nick” is allocishet, but “Gatsby” and “Daisy” are both girls), and so on. You can find these and more listed here under “Classic Retellings” and “Fairytale Retellings” (though I may condense them into just Retellings at some point): https://lgbtqreads.com/romanceadult/by-tropearchetype/

“Out here, out in the open water joking with her, I felt totally free.” - The Seafarer’s Kiss by Julia Ember
Concerto In Chroma Major
Alexandra Graff, a Californian living in Paris, is a stained-glass artist whose synesthesia gives her the ability to see sounds in the form of colors. When she’s commissioned to create glass panels for the new Philharmonie, she forms a special bond with the intriguing Halina Piotrowski, a famous Polish pianist. As their relationship develops, Alexandra shows Halina the beautiful images her music inspires. But when it comes to a lasting future together, will Halina’s fear of roots and commitment stand in the way?

In this haunting novel set in a world inspired by Norse mythology, Ember (The Seafarer’s Kiss, 2017, etc.) refreshingly places a number of queer and gender nonbinary characters at the forefront, all rendered with nuanced care.
KIRKUS Reviews on Julia Ember’s THE NAVIGATOR’S TOUCH
THE NAVIGATOR’S TOUCH is now available to pre-order from the IP Web Store, Amazon, Indiebound, and other book retailers.
(via interludepress)
Now Available to Pre-Order: THE NAVIGATOR’S TOUCH by Julia Ember
After invaders destroyed her village, murdered her family, and took her prisoner, shield-maiden Ragna is hungry for revenge. A trained warrior, she is ready to fight for her home, but with only a mermaid and a crew of disloyal mercenaries to aid her, Ragna knows she needs new allies. Guided by the magical maps on her skin, battling storms and mutiny, Ragna sets sail across the Northern Sea.
She petitions the Jarl in Skjordal for aid, but despite Ragna’s rank and fighting ability, the Jarl sees only a young girl, too inexperienced to lead, unworthy of help. To prove herself to the Jarl and win her crew’s respect, Ragna undertakes a dangerous expedition. But when forced to decide between her own freedom and the fate of her crew, what will she sacrifice to save what’s left of her home?
Inspired by Norse mythology and J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan, this companion novel to The Seafarer’s Kiss is a tale of vengeance, valor, honor, and redemption.

About the Author
Born in Chicago, Julia Ember now lives in Edinburgh, Scotland with her partner and their city-based menagerie of pets with names from Harry Potter. Sirius Black and Luna Lovegood the cats currently run her life. A world-traveller since childhood, Julia has visited almost seventy countries. Her travels inspire her writing, though she populates her worlds with magic and monsters. She has worked as a teacher, a wedding cake decorator and a bookseller.
Julia began writing at the age of nine, when her short story about two princesses and their horses won a contest. In 2016, she published her first novel, Unicorn Tracks, with Harmony Ink Press. It also focused on two girls and their equines, albeit those with horns. She has subsequently published three further works for young adults.
The Navigator’s Touch is the sequel to The Seafarer’s Kiss, which was released by Interlude Press in May 2017. It was heavily influenced by Julia’s postgraduate work in Medieval literature at the University of St. Andrews.
