| I've recently read a couple of books that were actually quite a good read. Firstly I read 'One Summer Night' by Gerri Hill, that was a good, as it dealt with the emotionally side of relationships as well as the physical. Also even more recently I've read 'Keeping You A Secret' by Julie Ann Peters, again a good book and is about coming out as a teenager and what the character faces. |

Oh, dear.
I work at a GLBT bookstore. I do this kind of thing for a living.
I just read The God Box by Alex Sanchez and I couldn't put it down.
I could recommend SO many books to you, it's not even funny.
Perhaps just check out the Staff Picks page on our website?

Just doin' my job.
Do let me know what you end up reading and how you like it. It's always good to get feedback.
Hell, if you write reviews, we're always looking for new guest reviewers for the website.

I just finished reading "The Temple at Landfall" by Jane Fletcher and "Greetings From Jamaica, Wish You Were Queer" by Mari Sangiovanni. I recommend both! "The Temple at Landfall" if you enjoy fantasy and "Greetings From Jamaica, Wish You Were Queer" if you like to laugh in public.

| As far as pleasure reading goes, I'm a huge fan of scifi, fantasy, and horror, so any suggestions along those lines with lesbian content is a plus. I haven't encountered much in my normal course of reading. I'll definitely check out that Temple at Landfall one. |

And then I noticed a few were recommended in the "lesbian slutfest" thread.  |

Oranges Aren't The Only Fruit by Jeanette Winterson is a classic (ps I like all of her books), and so is Rubyfruit Jungle by Rita Mae Brown.
If I had to pick a couple of favorites they might be Tipping The Velvet by Sarah Waters, and Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. I laughed, I cried, and I blushed.. publically in the coffee house. ::sigh::
I agree that there are too many to list. |
