Readings in Lesbian Fantasy and Science Fiction

Not very long ago I had a discussion with a friend who is currently getting her degree in library science. She enjoys science fiction and fantasy but wouldn't describe herself as a hardcore reader. She asked me if I knew of any lesbian or bi focused science fiction or fantasy because she didn't know what to read or where to look. Of course I gave her a few recommendations. Zoom ahead a few months and I find myself having the same conversation again at a party.

I've decided to share all the links that I can for resources because I love reading lesbian scifi and fantasy and well, people keep asking me for information or recommendations so I assume more than one person would find this helpful. Please feel free to comment with a link to your own work or a book that you want to share with others!

I'm not sure how frequently this site is updated however, it is an amazing resource with an extensive list of lesbian science fiction with reviews:
