reviews, releases and recommendations of LGBT media
It’s almost Pride!! Personally I can’t believe it’s already time for the best month in a year…
A lot of great books is coming out during Pride, but also it’s actually really amazing that Pride isn’t even the busiest month for LGBT releases this year. There are only around 80 and take it from me, guys, that’s number is far from being a record high.
So, without further ado, browse away!
(As always, the rainbow emoji indicates that the rep is ownvoices.)
It wasn’t planned, but this post turned out to be pretty sapphic… It really wasn’t on purpose! Not gonna lie, though, love that for all of us.
In any case, you know the drill by now: there are 10 songs with links to their videos below & a mix with way more songs at the very end.
And perhaps you need more? Check out all my previous posts right here!
February’s mix is probably one of my favourite ones I made so far. So many of absolute bops! We were being blessed just before the whole world went to shit…
Anyway, as always, the post features ten of the songs I’m obsessed with and the rest of them you can find on the playlist, at the end. Have fun listening!

Not to be bringing any sort of bitterness to this blog or anything, but there’s only so many times you can see “there’s no (good) f/f” as a tweet before you snap. So in the interests of not snapping, I compiled a list of all the sapphic releases I know about this year.
And I know a lot.
So this list is actually going to be split into two. The first, this post, is going to take us from January to June. The second will come in a few months time and focus on July to December. Actually, the post is based on a thread I did on twitter, so if you’re impatient, go check that out (though dates aren’t always correct, and it’s not the most up to date).
So do you want to read f/f books but you don’t want to look for them?
Well it’s your lucky day. I did the looking for you!
P.S. dates are correct to the best of my knowledge, but if I have missed a postponement somewhere, please let me know.
If you follow our blog and/or twitter accounts, you’re probably aware I’m (Anna) a big fan of YA books. So it was always just a matter of time before I made for you guys a compilation post like this, to highlight the books I enjoy reading the most…
For this list, I decided to mark if a book is a part of an ongoing series, just so you know you have some catching up to do before you can read it. Per tradition, I also listed trigger warnings whenever I knew about them. If there’s something else you think I should add, please let me know!
And of course, books by LGBT authors – to the best of my knowledge – are marked with a 🌈 emoji! Once again, please correct me if I’m wrong.
So dive in! There are over 160 books on this list, you’re bound to find something for yourself!
Another month has gone by which means it’s time to look ahead to what next month has in store for us with releases! If there’s any on here that you’re really excited about, there’s still time enough to preorder them and make sure you support the authors in this time.
Since there have been a lot of date changes due to the current situation, I’m not sure I’ve kept up with them all, so if any dates are completely in the wrong ballpark, please let me know!
You can find all our previous releases posts here.
Look at me! Reminding you all about songs that came out barely three months ago! This series is finally almost relevant!
Also January was full of absolutely amazing tracks, so get excited guys! As always, I included ten of my absolute faves in the post but there’s a mix at the end with even more songs!
You need more? Check out all my previous posts right here!
I did it, I finally got to the end of the year with those posts! Soon I will be actually letting you all know about songs that came out a month before.
But in the meantime, check out those bops from last December and hopefully discover some new favourite artists!
And if you need even more music, just check out all my previous posts right here!
What better time to discover new LGBT music than when you’re stuck at home, right?
I won’t lie, guys, some of my fav songs of the year are on this list! Prepare to be amazed, please. And just like, have some fun during those weird times!
If the songs featured here are not enough for y’all, remember you can just check out all my previous posts right here!
In these weird times, all of us could use something nice to read. Especially if wanting to read books means pre-ordering them and helping out authors who are debuting in upcoming months. And hey!, if you can afford it, consider using an indie bookstore for all your orders! Which should be plenty, given how many great books are coming out next month, just saying.
So, without further ado, here are 85 (!) LGBT April releases!
(As always, the rainbow emoji indicates that the author is LGBT.)
It’s yet another round-up post! But this time it’s books by authors based in the UK and Ireland (I say “based in”, some may still be published by American publishers, but most not). Because this is one of many areas overlooked in favour of US output.
So here are 53 releases from this side of the pond that you can look forward to!
Guys, look, I almost made it to the end of the year with my posts! I am so close to being up to date, I can nearly taste it!
And anyway, here are 10 of my absolutely favourite songs that came out in October and even more songs in the Spotify mix. You can it at the bottom of the post!
And if you have never been here before, you can catch up on my previous posts here!
If you’re looking for books with bisexual and/or pansexual characters, you’re in luck. Here’s a list of all books coming out in January-June 2020 that fit that description. (The July-December list is available here.)
Finding specific rep in upcoming books isn’t always easy, so I want to make some things clear before we start:
1) I included only books that use the bi & pan labels or, in case of sff ones, that make it clear from context the characters are bi or pan. It’s not always clear-cut but I figured that if you’re looking for bi/pan rep, you’re looking for something concrete;
2) I did not include books which I wasn’t sure about, because I didn’t want to falsely advertise. If there’s anything I missed that you know for a fact features a bi or pan protag, please let me know!
I’ll be also marking YA books with a ✌️ emoji, if that’s something that you’re interested in. And, as always, a 🌈 emoji indicates a book is by an LGBT author.
(You might also be interested in these posts about 2020 YA releases & 2020 releases with non-cis characters.)
March brings us another 81 releases – we are really being spoiled this year, aren’t we – featuring some of mine and Anna’s most anticipated. And, like last month, they’re all in one place!
You can find all our previous releases posts here. Any errors in rep are mine, etc, etc.
Enjoy!
Every month of 2019 was great to us, music wise, but September was especially good. Some of my favourite LGBT songs of the year are in this post!!
Per tradition, there are 10 songs in the post itself and a lot more in the Spotify mix. You can find it at the bottom of the post!
