Co-authors of The Christmas Pic Rena Sapon-White and Ella Schaefer joined us for this meaningful conversation about making and publishing queer art in a hostile political climate and the impact it can have, breaking rules, and fictional happy endings for queer characters as a resource for real life. They also gave us special insight into the history and development of the birth of The Christmas Pic and Harmony Springs, and its journey from TV to independent novel. Is Ava unlikeable? Some people thought so. They revealed their favorite parts of writing Ava and Jo, the surprising thing Ella has in common with Jo, and that we can look forward to a new work from them on Wattpad called "My TikTok Spy."
As Rena so eloquently said, let's "usher the spirit of Harmony Springs off the page and into the world.”
Our next read will be Mouths of Rain: An Anthology of Black Lesbian Thought, edited by Briona Simone Jones.

Come along for a chat about conspiracy theories, character development of a man 😱😜, and Haylie’s recounting of the woman on TikTok who is apparently a rat…E. J. Noyes really hit the second book of the Halycon Divison Series out of the park!
*please ignore the text message noises coming out of Lauren’s computer a couple of times as she could not figure out how to fix it! 🫣
*Also, this episode was recorded on Saturday, January 18th so Lauren’s prediction about the reinstatement of TikTok was proved accurate 🫡

Hi friends, thanks for joining us. As promised, here is the link to a document with compiled resources to both receive aid and help in the wake of the LA Wildfires. Please help if you are able, and share resources/ways to donate online.
Edit to what Haylie said when recognizing the victims of the wildfires: since this was recorded on the 12th, the death count has gone up from 11 to 25. We send our hearts out to the loved ones of the victims of this tragedy, and thank the first responders working to prevent further death.
This episode, we cover the prelude to the first season finale of the L Word, where the girls hit Dinah Shore. We hear their coming out stories, get on Jenny's team for once, and Bette once again proves herself to be a walking red flag. -

You asked us to roll it back so Haylie could dish on Evelyn Hugo, and we did! Do you agree with her hot take? Do we have more Celia or Evelyn sympathizers in our midst? Drop your input in the episode comments, our Instagram, or wherever you want. Evelyn would.
In this episode, we try to wrap our heads around the big topics of identity and regret - things that plagued Evelyn’s life.

This book by Rena Sapon-White and Ella Schaefer gave us all the cozy Hallmark Christmas feels, so you might want a peppermint mocha for this one. In this episode, we talk public perception of high-profile people vs. the individual identity, failures in communication, and what makes a good character worth rooting for (“likable” or not!).
Thank you for being in community with us this year, we appreciate you all more than you know. If you want to gift us this Christmas, please leave us a nice review and download and share our podcast.

Crawling out of our skin after watching a really unfortunate attempt at a Dana x Jenny hookup, Haylie and Lauren dish about the clandestine affairs of this episode, run our own hypotheticals, and weigh the ethics of Bette's choice to hand over the explicit film to expose Fae Buckley.
Please leave us a review and download, it really helps us out! We love hearing from you, reach out to us here with the text function, or via Instagram, TikTok or email. See you next time for The Christmas Pic!

Well... Jen Lyon has done it again. In this episode we walk through the newest novel by Senator's Wife author Jen and talk about the characters Kam and Dillon who we have fallen so in love with. Listen in to hear us name our ideal film cast and sob over the tragic ending that broke our hearts.
TW: suicide, suicidal ideation, SA. Take care of yourselves!

After seeing a clip of Wicked star Ariana Grande saying her favorite film is Jamie Babbit's But I'm A Cheerleader and being confused by the excitement of lesbians everywhere, Haylie knew it was time to see what the fuss was for herself. Lauren gleefully obliged, and here you have the conversation that followed. We were thrilled by the abundance of camp, shocked at how young and innocent the non-lesbian lesbian icon Natasha Lyonne was in 1999, and of course had to discuss the commentary peeking through the unseriousness of this film.
Please leave us a review and download, it really helps us out! Our next book will be The Unfinished Line by The Senator's Wife author Jen Lyon, so start reading so you can join us in conversation.

Technical difficulties galore but Haylie came through as the reliable Taurus she is when Lauren ran into more mercury retrograde than she could handle this week.
Anyway, please enjoy this Lauren's disappointment that Haylie didn't know who Rosanna Arquette and Haylie's beautiful nuanced conversation about Bette and Tina's storyline.

In the wake of the United States election, we want to use this episode as a space to have conversation with you and each other. Lauren processes her fear and anger, while Haylie gets vulnerable about the betrayal she and many others are feeling. On the other side of the coin, on Haylie's mind has also been community, mutual aid and joy, which she brings to the discussion today. Our call to action for you today: participate in your community, check on your people, and share your joy.
At the end of the episode, Lauren shares the poem Etiquette Leash by beloved Andrea Gibson. You can read it here.

It’s Election Day in the United States, and as we await results with bated breath we invite you to listen to our timely conversation with Margaret Vandenburg, author of Craze. We hear from her about Henri’s story and how the centennial of the Queer Craze and crackdown inspired her to write this cautionary tale. She speaks to us about being willing and ready to stand up for ourselves as a community, and how fun, joy, and desire not only define who we are, but are acts of rebellion.
Lauren promised to link her favorite spoken word she was referencing in this week's episode. However Lauren did get the quote and the author wrong. The spoken word poet she was thinking of was Valerie Kaur while the poem she was referring to was Etiquette by Andrea Gibson. Both are linked below.

Truly, we cannot emphasize enough how stunning this book by Margaret Vandenburg is. This episode, we talk the Queer Craze of the American 1920s in NYC, underground speakeasies, and the balancing act of queer people walking between heteronormative day life and queer culture. We discuss how growing up with shame impacts the development of queer adults, and delicate family dynamics. Artists and visionaries populate our world this episode, and we invite you to join.

This week, our hosts have an allergic reaction to new character Annette, who makes Haylie like Jenny in comparison. Dana's apparently closeted mother rejects her when she comes out, Bette and Tina face harsh truths, and Haylie gives a lesson on hygiene and shame. Let's go!
Please download, share, and leave us a review! Read CRAZE by Margaret Vandenburg for our next episode, and reach out to us through DMs or text with the link above if you so please. Thanks for listening!

Our next book is CRAZE by Margaret Vandenburg, and as Haylie was reading she couldn't help but look up the many characters who are REAL historical figures. So, this episode is full of information on these queer icons of the 1920s and 30s, so that you can have an enriched reading experience! Let's get CRAZy!

Welcome back to the Lesbian Book Club Podcast for another L Word episode, where we discuss women's health issues that we weren't taught in health class, i.e. vaginal suppositories! We get a very special visit from a real live circus mouse, Dana ruins her life for Subaru only to find that they liked her life how it was, and we become the judges of if Bette and Tina really are boring.
There are two sexual assaults in this episode, so please listen with discretion and take care of yourselves.

Join us as we talk all things intelligence agents, and not just what we learned from Miss Congeniality 😝

Coming at you with a mini episode this week! If there's one thing Lauren loves other than yapping about books, it's yapping about movies and shows. So if you've been looking for some streaming recs, she has you covered. Also, please someone talk to her about Gentleman Jack!

We hope you are as obsessed with this book as Haylie is, because she wants companionship embarking on the painful journey of waiting for Cleat Cute by Meryl Wilsner (they/them) to become a series. Listen in as we talk about egregious miscommunications, smut, and the extremely Taurus way of keeping your living space as a temple - just like Grace Henderson. Also, if you've been dying to find out what Lauren's type is, this is the episode for you.

Do you love the group storylines, or the individual Jenny "off on her own, doing shrooms" storyline? Is Tim aggressive or aggressive? Has Lauren finally taken off her rose-colored glasses and decided Bette is actually the villain? I mean Bette did drink the slurpee...
