reviews, releases and recommendations of LGBT media
Specific labels may vary but all the books in this post have achillean main characters & are written by achillean authors. This isn’t to say that you shouldn’t be reading m/m books which aren’t, roughly speaking, ownvoices. Rather, a place to celebrate the few that are.
Of course, I’m only human, so if you spot any mistakes or missing titles, let me know!
Dance a little on this rainy day! (Well, it’s rainy here, I’m aware that’s not true for everyone but bear with me, please.) I’m bringing you a few dozens of songs by LGBT artists, some hopefully new to you, some very popular. All amazing.

What do you guys think of our new layout for these posts? We do hope it’s easier to browse when books are at least roughly divided into categories! And when you have around 80 books in one place, it sure does that a while to look through them all…
As ever, you can find all our previous releases posts here and the rainbow emoji indicates an author who id’s as LGBT.
A companion post to the one from the beginning of the year. Over 100 books with canon bisexual and/or pansexual protagonists. Or love interests. Or really major side characters.
My guidelines for choosing books to include in this post were pretty simple: either a character just uses the label or the text makes it abundantly clear that they’re bi/pan. (As you can imagine, not a lot of fantasy or historical books use modern labels.) If I missed anything that you think should be on the list, please let me know in the comments!
Like always on this blog, the rainbow emoji indicates that the book is by an LGBT author. 🌈
Hopefully July is treating you all well so far (I’m sat here, watching torrential rain)! Today’s post is one that, with luck, you’ve all been anticipating. Anna posted about YA releases on Friday, and now I’m posting about the sapphic releases of the second half of 2021 (bi releases will be up in a few days too, so keep an eye out!). Not all of these have sapphic main characters, but they do feature (to the best of my knowledge) somewhat prominent sapphic characters at least.
You can, of course, find January to June’s releases here.
Undoubtedly I have missed books (we all know that, as soon as I post this, there’ll be five more to add, minimum), so I’ll be checking back on the post pretty regularly to add more.
Hopefully I got y’all used to those YA posts enough that you were actually waiting for this one. If not, just don’t tell me. But if yes, sorry for the wait and enjoy! There are over 105 LGBT YA books here, surely you will find at least a dozen or two to fall in love with.
And like always, a rainbow emoji indicates that the book is by an LGBT author.
Pride might be over, but here’s the last reminder of it: over 100 songs that LGBT artists released in June! As always, ten of them are featured in the post itself, but for the full experience you have to check out the mix at the end of it.

It’s the end of June, which means that it’s that time again! Sadly, unlike the past couple of months, July’s releases don’t break 100 (or sort of gladly, if you’re me, and having to write up the post), but there are some truly exciting releases here.
Also exciting is our new layout for the posts! Instead of just giving you a long list with dates, we’ve split the list into genres, so you can just search for whichever genre you want to read. (And see just how few there are for some… 😒)
As ever, you can find all our previous releases posts here and the rainbow emoji indicates an author who id’s as LGBT.
Yes, we’re already nine days into Pride month, but I am finally here with the collection of May songs by LGBT artists that I know of. I mean, I’m sure there were more than 77 released…
So if you need even more new music, check out all my previous monthly posts right here!
And hey, one of the artists featured today is Jxckson, whom we interviewed recently. You can check out the interview here!
If you think that a lot more LGBT books come out during Pride than all the other months, you would be correct! And this post is a real-life proof. Took days to prepare, but here we are: 166 LGBT books out this June!
And yes, you read that right: one hundred and sixty six. Surely, you will find something for yourself here.
As always, a rainbow emoji next to the title indicates the author is part of the LGBT community – if I made any mistakes here, please do correct me. And if you need some more books, you can find all our previous monthly releases posts here.
If you need a little break from the everything going on in the world right now, here are some sixty songs from last month that I know about. Listen to some music to recharge.
I also want to point out that Presence of a Legend by Shea Diamond is featured on the documentary about Gloria Allen, a Black transgender activist, titled Mama Gloria. You can read more about it here.

There are over 100 LGBT releases in May. And that’s just those we currently know about. So, aiming to keep this intro short and sweet, let’s dive straight in!
As ever, you can find all our previous releases posts here and the rainbow emoji indicates an author who id’s as LGBT.
Well, actually… the term ownvoices here is used very liberally. By that I mean you will find below books with gay main characters written by gay authors but sometimes it will be for example books with gay characters written by bi authors.
Generally, though, novels with mlm characters by mlm authors. Achillean books by achillean authors, if you will. So while the label might not always 100% match between the author and the character, those are still books written by people who understand the experience.
This is also why I opted out of using the rainbow emoji – everyone would get one anyways.
Y’all know the drill: all the songs by LGBT artists that came out in March and I know about, are on the mix which you can find at the end of the post. And ten of my absolute favourites are featured below. Enjoy!!

My cat spent the day sunbathing, meanwhile I was putting together this post for y’all. Life is what it is. But in all seriousness, there are some fabulous books coming our way next month, so I hope you are all very excited! Surely everyone can find something out of over 100 titles…
As always, a rainbow emoji next to an author indicates they’re LGBT – if you know I made any mistakes here, feel free to let me know. And if you need some more books, you can find all our previous releases posts here.
