This week, April 24 – April 30th, is Lesbian Visibility Week! Two days ago, we kicked off celebrating by sharing 21 book recs, but those represent only some of the amazing books that our contributors sent our way when we asked for books with lesbians. We got an amazing 39 recommendations total, too many for one post! So today, we’re back with part 2: 18 more of our favorite lesbian books (+2 bonus books at the end)! Today’s recommendations were suggested by @shadaras, @tryslora, @dei2dei, @adrianharley, and @owlouterbridge (whose first stand-alone story with DPP is coming out on Saturday!).
