It'll probably be a while until I finish reading it, but Erica Friedman's book By Your Side came out today and it looks like a very comprehensive look at the entirety of yuri to date. It's packed full of previously published essays, info on decades of yuri I know almost nothing about, has a ton of yuri to add to the To Read list, even has that I'm in Love with the Villainess drama, and just generally looks like a fun read. It's also nice to see Erica's wider viewpoint when it comes to the yuri fandom at large. Very grounding.

So hey, let's reserve this spot for the book club. Anyone else pick it up yet?
