reviews, releases and recommendations of LGBT media
Yes, okay, I will admit that I’ve already started watching Christmas movies (and if you want some recs, by the way, maybe check out the two lists I made in recent years: one & two), but I’m capable of multitasking and finding music that’s not yet merry. I might have gone a bit overboard with this one, to be honest, it is almost forty hours long…
I also compiled a small playlists of LGBT Palestinian artists, if that’s something of interest for you.
Alexander released his debut EP – titled A House, Not a Home – two days ago, and we thought that makes it a perfect timing for an interview! It’s also very atmospheric & full of longing which means that it’s an ideal soundtrack for those upcoming long autumn nights.
So check out Alexander’s EP here, and of course you can follow him on instagram.
Moving swiftly onto the next of the adult fantasy rec lists (part two), we’re now onto G! Here you will find 10 adult fantasy recs featuring gay main characters. Keep an eye out for B and T in the next few months too, because they’re on their way, but for now, have a read of these recs.
And hey, a lot of these titles are available on the artist formerly known as Scribd, so if you want to check out that service but don’t have an account yet, use my invite code to get 2 months for free! (This also gives me one free month.)
You can find the previous posts here, along with the part twos, as I post them:
Today’s interview is for fans of super detailed, thoroughly researched historical fiction, where the past is brought to life on the page. That is, today’s post is with DJG Palmer, whose second book, In the Ranks of Death, is out next month (and preorderable). But don’t just take our word for it: let the author himself convince you!
Don’t forget, you can also keep up via instagram.
Personally I’m already in my fall albums era, the same ones as for the last ten years or so, but I’m also here for you guys! Which means I did my homework and brought you in one place some twenty hours of fresh music. Do with that what you will.

Ever since I made the first of these posts about 4 years ago now, I’ve been meaning to revisit this series and do a, if not completely updated version, then at least a follow-up. A part two. Ten more lesbian adult fantasy books you should read! (And, before the end of the year, the G, B, & T equivalents too!) So, get yourself ready to dive right in!

Spooky season is starting early for all you fans of paranormal novels – Ciera Burch’s Camp Twisted Pine releases tomorrow, perfectly timed to kick off the autumn! And today, we have an interview with the author herself to whet your appetite! Don’t forget you can still preorder Camp Twisted Pine here, to get it straightaway tomorrow!
And you can also keep up with Ciera via instagram.
It’s not even the second half of the month, so I personally think I’m very early with the post this time around! The length of those playlists is also slowly getting out of hand, but that is a pretty good problem to have, right? Unless you’re actually like me and only listen to three songs on a loop for a year…

Super exciting interview going up today, with Kemi Ashing-Giwa! Kemi’s debut novel came out last year (The Splinter in the Sky) and she has a novella coming out later this month (along with a preorder campaign for extra goodies!). In addition to our questions for Kemi, she had some for us too & we answered those at the end of the interview. Before we start, you can still preorder The World Is Not Yours here & don’t forget to enter the preorder campaign to receive a high resolution digital poster and three deleted scenes from the novella!
And you can also keep up with Kemi via her newsletter & Bluesky.
Better late than never! Which is what I’m afraid I’ve been saying at the beginning of the last half a dozen of those posts or so. But alas, time keeps sleeping through my fingers. I bring you almost 26 hours of LGBT music, though, so I hope you will forgive me. Enjoy!

Coming your way with another interview this evening, this time with sapphic fiction author Sam Ledel, whose most recent book, Adrift, came out just a couple of months ago and which you can get it here! But first, put your feet up, and get reading!
And don’t forget, you can also keep up with Sam on instagram.
I come late, but I come bearing gifts. Over one hundred LGBT young adult books being realised this half of the year! I think that’s a decent gift, don’t yall?
So go forth, enjoy and preorder away! And hey, a lot of those titles are (or ill be) available on Scribd (I refuse to remember the new name), so if you want to check out that service but don’t have an account yet, use my invite code to get 2 months for free! (This also gives me one free month.)

First big post for the second half of the year coming your way today: sapphic releases out in July to December! Of course, this post will be continuously updated, so this first go represents only a fraction of the list it’ll end up being. But still, hopefully you can find something that looks interesting here!
And hey, a lot of these titles are (or will be) available on Scribd (now Everand), so if you want to check out that service but don’t have an account yet, use my invite code to get 2 months for free! (This also gives me one free month.)
Today’s the book birthday of our latest interviewee, Seema Yasmin, whose book, Unbecoming, is now available to buy! If you’re interested in near-future speculative fiction, a sprinkle of dystopia even, then this is a book that’ll be right up your alley.
And don’t forget, you can also keep up with Seema on instagram.
