Looking for book recs!

[effex]

Does anyone have any recs for good lesbian/queer women romance? Or mysteries? I've got a craving and I don't want to resort to my mom's stash of Lynn Kurland/Loretta Chase/Etc. They never satisfy, you know?

Things I've tried and didn't like: Radclyffe's work, Laurie R. King's work, Greetings From Jamaica, Wish You Were Queer, Stay.

Things I've tried and liked: Tipping the Velvet and Fingersmith, the Jane Bond books, a bunch (comparatively speaking) of SFF that doesn't quite apply.

I am also open to femslash fic recs (outside of Devil Wear's Prada fandom)!

When I'm rich and famous I'm going to spend my time writing trashy lesbian romances, just so they'll exist.

For fic, I recommend language_escapes St Trinians stories. Some of them are femslash & some are female-centred gen, but they're all awesome.

I don't read much fiction, but some friends of mine set themselves the task of reading all the lesbian fiction to be found in Vancouver libraries & there was a lot, including Gerri Hill's stories. I don't know where you're based, but some local libraries & queer organizations have LGBTQ book suggestions.

Thanks for the link to language_escapes! I need to put St Trinians on my watch-list.

I browse various organizations's LGBT recommendation lists fairly regularly, but their tastes seldom line up with my own. My local library is in the middle of the gayborhood and very queer friendly, though, so it wouldn't hurt to ask...
