Do you like women taking care of each other because they've been in a terrible plane crash? Do you want to read a book where someone is more or less cuddled back to life? Then check out the romance novel of the week:
Ice by Lyn Gardner
Check out these three very different approaches to science fiction. Chris Moriarty's books were some of my favorite reads of 2012. and feature my biggest literary crush in a long time, bad ass UN Peacekeeper Major Catherine Li.
Artificial Hearts: A Lesbian YA Short Story Collection by Sarah Diemer and Jennifer Diemer
Project Unicorn: A Lesbian YA Extravaganza!
Dust (Jacob's Ladder trilogy) by Elizabeth Bear
Spin State by Chris Moriarty
Spin Control by Chris Moriarty
If you're interested in Sappho, any of these books would make a great starting point for learning more. Carson's translations are sparse and lovely. The Sappho Companion packs a lot of information into one book and can point you towards a number of different areas to learn more about the poet--and what people have said about the poet throughout history.
If fiction is more your taste, both Jong and Freedman have written decent novels about Sappho that are worth checking out if you're interested in the area.
The Sappho Companion by Margaret Reynolds
If Not, Winter: Fragments of Sappho translated by Anne Carson
Sappho's Leap by Erica Jong
Sappho: The Tenth Muse by Nancy Freedman
DUST by @matociquala. Science fiction that feels like a twisted, dreamy fantasy. Some of the characters have wings. Captivating.

THE SAPPHO COMPANION by Margaret Reynolds. Comprehensive look at many translations and interpretations of Sappho. Be smart when you quote!

SAPPHO’S LEAP by Erica Jong. Weirdly madcap take on the life of Sappho. Homerish quests, lots of sensuality, worth a look.

SPIN STATE by @sfness (Chris Moriarty). features bad-ass queer space marine of my dreams, AI, cloning, sleuthing, adventure. AWESOME.

ARTIFICIAL HEARTS by @sarahdiemer. Lesbian YA stories use sci-fi to evoke the loneliness, magic, and romance of being young and gay.
