    Patience and Sarah by Isabel Miller. The original self-published lesbian romance hit, circa 1969. <3

      I just read that as an audiobook read by Janis Ian. It was fabulous.

      • RaspberryAug 22, 2016 at 9:05 PM

        It makes me so happy! I can only imagine what it would have been like to find it at the time, especially for closeted lesbians.

    Lesbian Pulp Fiction: The Sexually Intrepid World of Lesbian Paperback Novels, 1950-1965 edited by Katherine V. Forrest.

      That sounds like fun!

    • sunspearedAug 23, 2016 at 7:41 PM

      I would read this!

    My suggestion is The Dark Wife by Sarah Diemer, a retelling of the Hades and Persephone myth, where the Lord of the Underworld is actually a Lady.

    I like the premise but the reviews seem pretty mixed...

    • RaspberryAug 22, 2016 at 12:40 AMΔ

      It's good, but a bit rape-y. (Het rape-y, I mean.) I know that comes with the Greek Myth territory, but it can be triggering.

      Still, it's my favourite of Diemer's books. I like her Hansel and Gretel retelling a lot, too.

        Let me guess, it's rape by Divine Allfather Dick, aka Zeus, am I right?

        Out of curiosity and before I purchase it, how graphic is it?

      • RaspberryAug 22, 2016 at 9:04 PMΔ

        Absolutely.

        It's not graphic at all. Persephone herself isn't raped, but the rape threat looms pretty big, and her first gf and her mother are raped.

      • DaisiesAug 23, 2016 at 2:24 AM

        That doesn't seem too bad, I'll give it a try. Thank you!

    My suggestion is Blind Bet by Tracey Richardson https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8515275-blind-bet
