The Lesbrary Tumblr



The Basics

I run the Lesbrary, and I'm also on booktube and goodreads.

Check out the Lesbrary Goodreads Project for lists of les/bi/etc books by topic and genre

See the Master List of Lesbian & Bi Women Books Recommendations for my favourites!

Support Bi & Lesbian Lit and the Lesbrary on Patreon for monthly book giveaways, or buy us a coffee on ko-fi if you're feeling generous!

Mostly lesbian lit, always bi-, ace-, aro- and trans-inclusive.

weh-tun: hey, do you know any queer books by african authors or set in an african country?

lgbtqreads:

Yes! Under the Udala Trees by Chinelo Okparanta is by a Nigerian author and set in Nigeria; For Sizakele is by Yvonne Fly Onakeme Etaghene, who’s Nigerian; and the upcoming Kaleidoscope Song by Fox Benwell is set in South Africa. There’s also Unicorn Tracks by Julia Ember, set in Fantasy Africa; I don’t think it’s tied to a real, specific country. If you’re open to anthologies, you might also like Queer Africa.

You might also check out this post: http://whatsonafrica.org/ten-gay-characters-from-african-literature-that-everyone-should-know/ (What’s on Africa - 10 Gay Characters from African Literature that Everyone Should Know), 

Everfair by Nisi Shawl is set in an alternate-history version of the Congo (Black American author), and The Salt Roads by Nalo Hopkinson is partially set in Egypt (Black Canadian author). Check out BiblioSapphic’s Sapphic Stories From Around the World for more.
