There are queer books in every genre, for every reader.ģ. It’s easy to think that only a handful of LGBTQ books exist: the ones that are recommended over and over by mainstream book media as their token Pride examples. There are way more lesbian and bi women books out there than I could possibly read in my lifetime, and although I want there to be even more, I am profoundly grateful for the many, many we do have. When I couldn’t find many, I started a book blog with the “humble” goal of reading “everything lesbian” ( The Lesbrary). At first, I thought there were dozens of these lesbian books. That back-and-forth opened the door to a whole world of stories in which women could love women. “Danika, have you read Rubyfruit Jungle by Rita Mae Brown?” It was one conversation with my mom about lesbian books that set me on a lifelong path of queer women reading. When I was just a babygay, I passionately identified as both queer and bookish, but I had not yet considered the intersection between the two.
