I cannot adequately explain the joy, the incredible sense of pleasure, I derived from reading this book. Even as the book’s plot unraveled a bit at the end, I enjoyed every moment of reading Nairne Holtz’s Skin Beneath. The first paragraph: Sam unlocks the mailbox in the lobby of her building, takes out a singleRead More
Danika reviews Raven’s Mask by Winter Pennington
Part of the fun of running this blog is experimenting with different books. I haven’t read a lot of genre books, so running the Lesbrary has given me a chance to try them out. Unfortunately, I think Raven’s Mask wasn’t the best choice for me. It’s the second in a series, and although it explains enoughRead More
Kristi reviews Firestorm by Radclyffe
Mallory James is a cool-headed firefighter paramedic (aptly nicknamed Ice) who leads a band of smokejumpers six months out of the year in Montana. Training rookies in thirty days takes all her time and attention, but when Jac Russo shows up unexpectedly to fill a slot, Mallory finds herself fighting an attraction she hasn’t feltRead More
Allysse reviews The World Unseen by Shamim Sarif
The World Unseen is set in South Africa in the 1950’s and relates the story of two women – Miriam and Amina – and the way their lives impact each others. Let me start this review by saying that I love this book. After a lot of trouble to get it from my library IRead More
Maryam reviews Ghosts of Winter by Rebecca S. Buck
Full disclosure: I did not read anything about Ghosts of Winter before I downloaded it for review. I was coming down off a marathon of Japanese horror comics and the second season of The X-Files when Danika’s suggestion hit my inbox. Ghosts? In winter? Sign me up! Unfortunately for me, there are no actual ghostsRead More
Danika reviews Travels Through Love And Time by Christine Hall Volkoff
I feel a little bit uncomfortable reviewing this book, because it reads like a first draft. I liked the concept: a look at three different loves, at three different times, in one woman’s life. Unfortunately, the writing felt clunky, and I never really got into the flow of the story because of it. One ofRead More
Islay reviews Moonglow by Charlie Romo
I haven’t fretted over exactly what to say in a review as much for any other book as I have this one, simply because I’ve never read anything that is both so endearing and yet also so riddled with basic errors before. Charlie Romo’s novel follows the adventures of a super model in the futuristicRead More
Laura Mandanas reviews Fingersmith by Sarah Waters
A darker tale than one might expect, Sarah Waters’ Fingersmith is a story of deception, double-dealing, and dysfunction. Opening in 1862 in a dilapidated London slum known as the Borough, we meet heroine #1: 17-year-old Susan Trinder. Orphaned at a young age, Sue has been raised as a fingersmith (pickpocket) by Mrs. Sucksby, a crookedRead More
MFred reviews Call Me Softly by D. Jackson Leigh and Jukebox by Gina Noelle Daggett
Around the time I was ten years old, “horse girls” emerged and it was clear I definitely was not one of them. Sure, I tried. I read Black Beauty and watched National Velvet. But I was way more into the Babysitter’s Club and Nancy Drew; horses just did not appeal. Imagine my surprise, twenty-some years later (oh god),Read More
Anna reviews Ghosts of Winter by Rebecca S. Buck
I enjoy reading historical fiction and, of course, lesbian fiction, so the opportunity to read Rebecca S. Buck’s Ghosts of Winter, which features both, was too good to pass up. Protagonist Ros Wynne has come to a crossroads in her life after losing her mother to cancer, leaving her job, and breaking up with her long-term girlfriend.Read More
