books with nonbinary & trans characters

Books with Nonbinary & Trans Characters (Crossword Challenge #18)

  I had decided early on to include a puzzle featuring nonbinary and trans characters in the Crossword Challenge, but with trans people still being killed for who they are and celebrities such as JK Rowling making transphobic statements, it feels more timely than ever to feature books with trans representation. By the way, if you feel that JK Rowling’s statements aren’t anti-trans, take a look at this Twitter thread that explains why they are. This week’s puzzle includes more than twice as many books as the previous puzzles because I wanted to feature books with nonbinary characters, trans women, …

Books with asexual characters

WLW Books with Asexual-Spectrum Characters (F/F Fiction Crossword Challenge #17)

It’s time for the next Pride edition crossword puzzle! This week’s puzzle features f/f books with characters on the asexual spectrum—some are asexual, some are demisexual, and others might be somewhere along the ace spectrum. It wasn’t easy to find 15 f/f books featuring ace spectrum characters because there still aren’t many of them, especially not books about asexual women. Asexuality is still an “invisible” and not very well-known sexual orientation, so before you tackle the crossword puzzle, let me talk for a minute about what “asexual” and “demisexual” and “ace spectrum” mean. Keep in mind that everyone has a …

WLW Books with Pansexual & Bisexual Characters (F/F Fiction Crossword Challenge #16)

This week’s puzzle is about f/f books with pansexual and bisexual characters; next week’s puzzle will feature books about asexual and ace spectrum characters, and the week after, I’ll post a puzzle featuring books with nonbinary and trans characters.   You can still solve previous puzzles & win ebooks! If you haven’t solved all the previous puzzles yet, you can still do so! For every solution you send in, you get an entry into the drawing …

WLW & Lesbian Science Fiction Novels (F/F Fiction Crossword Challenge #15)

This week’s F/F Fiction Crossword Puzzle features WLW & lesbian science fiction novels. Science fiction is a fascinating genre. It explores new worlds, new technologies, and new ideas, while embracing diverse characters and tackling issues of human—or alien—society. But there aren’t that many sci-fi novels with women-loving women around, so I hope this puzzle gives you new books to read if you like this genre.   You can still solve previous puzzles & win ebooks! If you haven’t solved all the previous puzzles yet, you can still do so! For every solution you send in, you get an entry into …

lesbian fiction authors

Popular WLW & lesbian fiction authors (F/F Fiction Crossword Challenge #14)

Today’s F/F Fiction Crossword Puzzle is different from the previous ones: instead of featuring books, this puzzle is about some of the most popular WLW & lesbian fiction authors. This time, there are also more clues than usual—20 instead of 15—because it was incredibly tough to narrow down the long list of lesbian fiction authors to just a few handfuls. Really a wonderful problem to have! Isn’t it great that we live in a time when there are so many authors writing books about women-loving women? Each of the clues describes an author, and you’ll have to put their (pen) …
