Start 2018 off with a celebration of WLW by participating in Jae’s Lesbian Book Bingo! (Please note that despite the name, it’s all WLW, not just lesbians.) Jae’s going to be posting suggested reading lists twice a month, all year long, for each individual bingo square, but we thought we’d kick it off with some recs of our own (please note I’m linking to the publisher page, but these titles are available wherever books are sold online, and in some brick and mortar stores):
