The Flamebringers, by Charley Clarke - A lush and romantic high fantasy story with awesome dragons - Astraea, the leader of her people, finds herself drawn to Mal, an outcast refugee.

The Disastrous Début of Agatha Tremain, by Stephanie Burgis - My review notes when I reread this recently were just “KISS GIRLS SMASH THE PATRIARCHY!!!” and if that’s your jam you’ll love this kickass, uplifting 19th-century fantasy.ĭynama, by Ruth Diaz - A sweet and hot superhero story following undercover metahuman TJ as she tries to juggle kids, work, saving the day, and her evil ex escaping from supervillain prison, with the help of her incredibly competent nanny Annmarie. The Cybernetic Tea Shop, by Meredith Katz - This is a warm and atmospheric tale of a romance between a sentient robot stuck in the past and a human technician afraid to put down roots. (If you’d like content notes for any of these, they’ll all eventually get full reviews, but feel free to send me a message or an ask if you have questions about the ones without reviews posted yet.)īeauty, Glory, Thrift, by Alison Tam - This smart and evocative space adventure is almost impossible to explain - you just have to read it - but it involves an unusual relationship between a goddess and a thief.Ĭinnamon Blade: Knife in Shining Armor, by Shira Glassman - In this witty and steamy story, crime fighter Cinnamon Blade just wants to get through a whole date with cute, nerdy Soledad without having to save the city from aliens or vampires. I’ll probably also add new entries to this list periodically, so if you get through them all and want more, check back!Ī couple of these are technically novelettes, and one or two of them are getting towards novel length, but all of them are longer than a super-quick short story and shorter than a full-length novel, and available to buy as ebooks on their own rather than as part of an anthology. These are all ones that I have read myself, but if you know of any I’ve missed off, don’t hesitate to add them and I’ll reblog.

(If anyone knows of another such list I’d love to see it, though!) Thank you to everyone who suggested things on Twitter! Lately I’ve found myself with a real craving for F/F romance in fantasy and sci-fi settings that I can devour in one go, and I couldn’t find a handy list anywhere, so I decided to make one myself.
