You really should read more lesbian books, so you’re perfectly free to see this as the kick in the ass that you need to do just that. Pick one and read it. Pick two, read both. Pick all. Just read more lesbian books.

Thanks for sharing this!

Can I add Malinda Lo’s ‘Ash’ and ‘Huntress’ – the first a take on the Cinderella story and the second is a classic fantasy adventure in the same universe as Ash, but set several hundred years earlier.   Her science fiction thrillers Adaptation and its sequel, Inheritance are excellent, also.  

If you like a different take on fairytales, Emma Donoghue’s Kissing the Witch is absolutely a must-read. Lyrical, challenging – totally reinvents classic fairy tales for modern readers.
