Lesbian & Bisexual Books, Magazines and Publishers

As Pride season winds down and the days get longer, it’s a great time to relax with some new books. Some established lesbian authors and brilliant new ones made my list this year, and all meet my criteria for good beach reading: intelligent and original without being too heavy. In no particular order, here are my recommendations for the best lesbian books this summer:

Award-winning Curve, the nation's best-selling lesbian magazine, spotlights all that is fresh, funny, exciting, controversial and cutting-edge in the lesbian community.

The Women's Review of Books is an on-line version of this long-standing monthly newspaper. Read reviews of new books by and about women, including fiction, non-fiction and poetry -- all from a feminist perspective.

Naiad Press is one of the first publishers of lesbian books. Famous for their romance novels and lesbian mysteries, Naiad now carries videos and DVDs also.

Finally, a book club for gay, lesbian and bi readers!

Curve magazine is celebrating 20 years and it's struggling to make it to 21.

Since 1974 Lesbian Connection has provided a forum for lesbians worldwide to connect, share resources and information.
