Exclusive Cover Reveal: The Upstairs Room by Dana Mele Today on the site I'm delighted to reveal the cover of The Upstairs Room by Dana Mele, a horror thriller coming from Sourcebooks Fire April 20, 2027!... https://lgbtqreads.com/2026/07/13/exclusive-cover-reveal-the-upstairs-room-by-dana-mele/
Do you know of any f/f romances set in the 1900's-1950s that have happy or hopeful endings, preferably set in Britain?
I do! Check out Proper English by KJ Charles, Her Lady’s Honor by Renee Dahlia, and How to Talk to Nice English Girls by Gretchen Evans, and for a few not set in Britain, Lilies of the Bowery by Lily Mason, The Breath Between Waves by Charlotte Anne Hamilton, and Of Trust & Heart by Charlotte Anne Hamilton.
Hi! I'm looking for sapphic romance that is lesbian4lesbian. Much love to bisexuals but I am looking for something that represents my relationship. Do you know of any?
Gonna be honest that I am not on top of that enough within f/f romance to answer this well, but The Lesbian Review is fantastic for these types of questions because they have a really great search that is super specific, and they're also far better versed in smaller presses, which much more commonly have l4l rep. Here's their "lesbian" category: https://thelesbianreview.com/sapphic-book-finder/?_category=lesbian
Hello! I was wondering if you have queer recs for a romance that takes place abroad? Like, someone moves to a new country (any country) and falls in love with their new home as well as a person! I would love something that scratches that traveling and romance itch. Thank you!
Sure do! https://lgbtqreads.com/2025/04/08/fave-five-queer-romance-abroad/
And this year was also Better Catch Up, Krishna Kumar by Anahita Kartik and coming up in September is From Beijing With Love by Bei Lin. There's also Meet Me in Madrid by Verity Lowell and Love in Ruins by Auriane Desombre, though that's a YA on vacation, and It Had to Be Him by Adib Khorram is adult m/m on vacation... So maybe these aren't the exact "moves" to a new country, but for scratching a traveling and romance itch, I think any of them would hit the mark! (And looks like it's time to make a Part II of that post, too...)

Queer Villains, Not Just Victims: a Guest Post by Serial Husbands author Travis Warman Today on the site, we're welcoming Travis Warman, author of Serial Husbands, to discuss writing moral complexity in queer characters, particularly as it relates to this thriller set prior to Obergefell.... https://lgbtqreads.com/2026/07/03/queer-villains-not-just-victims-a-guest-post-by-serial-husbands-author-travis-warman/
I'm just stepping away from a conversation in which the person I was speaking to just refused to stop regurgitating anti-bi rhetoric and insisted that the character we were discussing "cheated" solely because they are bisexual. (It was a gay teenage couple, things were messy, big feelings were had -- you know, almost like a *real* teenage couple of any orientation might experience as they're developing as people.) I'm steamed, to say the least.
ANYWAY.
I would love to get a rec for anything with complex or complicated relationships - messy even! - involving a bi person that does not demonize or place blame or shame said bi person. Any genre enthusiastically accepted but fantasy, scifi, horror, and graphic novels are always appreciated. A stand-lone is preferable but I understand that series seem to be the norm at this point.
(Please not "How to Sleep at Night" - I wanted to chuck that out the window. The writing was just absolutely not for me.)
Ooh, my favorite YA standalone fantasy is actually this - Girl, Serpent, Thorn by Melissa Bashardoust. Labyrinth Lost by Zoraida Cordova is also a good one like this that can stand alone despite being in a series. See You at the Summit by Jordyn Taylor is an interesting Romance on bisexuality. I haven’t read a graphic novel in a while but I know everything Jennifer Dugan does has bi MCs so you might want to check out her gn set.
Can you recommend any queer middle-grade published 2024 or later? I’m open to graphic novels but prefer non-graphic novels. My top-tier favorites: BEETLE AND THE HOLLOWBONES, HAZEL HILL IS GONNA WIN THIS ONE, IVY ABERDEEN’S LETTER TO THE WORLD, THE SHIP WE BUILT. Also really liked: BETTER NATE THAN EVER, CAMP QUILTBAG, DRUM ROLL PLEASE, EVERY BIRD A PRINCE, HURRICANE CHILD, IN THE KEY OF US, IN THE ROLE OF BRIE HUTCHENS, MIDDLETOWN
Sure can! The author of HAZEL HILL did publish another one in 2024 called NOAH FRYE GETS CRUSHED. I would also try WHEN YOU’RE BRAVE ENOUGH by Rebecca Bendheim, MOUNTAIN UPSIDE DOWN by Sara Ryan, OLIVIA GRAY WILL NOT FADE AWAY by Ciera Burch, THE INK WITCH by Steph Cherrywell, PASTA GIRLS by Taylor Tracy, OLLIE IN BETWEEN by Jess Callans, GOING OVERBOARD by Caroline Huntoon, THE QUEEN BEES OF TYBEE COUNTY by Kyle Casey Chu, THE TRUTH ABOUT TRIANGLES by Michael Leali, and for one graphic novel, CAMP PRODIGY by Caroline Palmer.
Also, I know you haven’t really dipped into epic fantasy in that list, but if you feel like trying it, check out both the Sir Callie series by Esme Symes-Smith and the Splinter & Ash series by Marieke Nijkamp.

Exclusive Cover Reveal: In Your Starlight by Marina Baker Today on the site I'm delighted to reveal the cover of In Your Starlight by Marina Baker, a lesbian romcom releasing December 15, 2026 from Contrarian Publishing!... https://lgbtqreads.com/2026/06/25/exclusive-cover-reveal-in-your-starlight-by-marina-baker/
Hi hello!! Can I ask for recommendations for some good old fun enemies to lovers romcoms? I’m looking for lots of good petty banter and humor and especially love it when it’s two people who have been forced into Situations™ together. I don’t have strong preferences on genders and sexualities, I’m just really in the mood to watch some people pick at each other on purpose until they drive each other insane and wind up kissing lol. I really enjoyed red white and royal blue and even though it’s not really a romcom per se, also had a lot of fun with the banter in Gideon the ninth if that helps.
You sure can! Check out The Ride of Her Life by Jennifer Dugan, Star Shipped by Cat Sebastian, Hold Me by Courtney Milan,You’re the Problem, it’s You by Emma R. Alba, Who’d Have Thought? by G. Benson, More Like Enemigas by Stephanie Hope, and if I may self-rec with an ace-spec (but very spicy, just a heads-up) m/f romance, my own Soon By You.
