We were inspired to create this list by ANZAC Day, when Australia and New Zealand honor their fallen service members. As supplied by readers here at the blog or on Facebook, there are dozens of books that highlight the determination, beauty and strength of lesbians who live Down Under. We know without a doubt that readers love the lands under the Southern Cross as a literary destination.
Feel free to share this list far and wide! If there's a book that hasn't been added yet, please comment here at this blog so that it remains a useful reference for other readers.
Most of these titles are available at BellaBooks.com in both print and eBook formats. Our eBook formats are compatible with Kindle, Nook, Sony, iPad, smart phones and just about any other reading device on the market.
