If you like period novels, I suggest the 4 books by Sarah Waters.
Tipping the Velvet, Affinity, Fingersmith and The Night Watch.
I had to read Tipping the Velvet for a GLBT literature class and I hated it... then when I wasn't forced to read it for an assignment, I couldn't put it down. Then I immediately got the next two, Affinity and Fingersmith and read those relatively quickly. These three are set in Victorian England and makes for a delightfully romantic, dark, and depressing setting. The Night Watch is set in London in the 1940's during WWII.
If you don't feel like reading, Tipping the Velvet and Fingersmith are available on DVD as BBC 3-episode drama specials. Affinity is set to be a move later this year or next.

| Annie on My Mind by Nancy Garden is pretty much the quintessential coming out as a teen book. IMO it's her masterpiece. Her other books aren't quite as good, but still worth the read, I also recommend Good Moon Rising. |

Red headed step-child is a great book by new author Jaye Wells about a half-mage/half-vampire girl. I must have found out about it from a borders email or io9, either way very good stuff.
After finishing think i'll get some elizabeth moon. |

I love Nicola Griffith's novels! So good! I've never heard of Kelley Eskridge before. I'll have to check her out. |

I think I've actually seen Red Headed Step-Child at walmart. Are there any gay characters? Or does it just have a strong female character? Either way, it sounds interesting. XD
Oh, Elizabeth Moon is good. I've only read The Speed of Dark and Remnant Population so far, but i've been trying to find the Ky Vatta books. |

Well I'm 1/3 of the way through so far and so far doesn't seem to have any Lesbian characters, although I've just met a Fae char who may or may not be.
Quite frankly I'm suprised this is at Wal-Mart since demon penis is described not more than 40 pages in, as well as some sexualized feedings.
EDIT: There is a minor character that is gay so I wouldn't be too suprised if there is a Lesbian person in the book. |

| Hmmm. . . I thought it was Wal-Mart but maybe I saw it at Books-A-Million. Not sure if I want to read it now though, if it takes the time to describe demon penis. LOL |

Actually it doesn't take much time to describe anything. Just one line about demon penis and that's it, but still seems a bit racy for something that would be sold at Wal-Mart. |
