Maggie reviews The Pull of the Stars by Emma Donoghue

November 9, 2020 by Danika Ellis

I’m not going to lie, I did not know if I wanted to read The Pull of the Stars before I started it. I haven’t read a lot of Emma Donoghue before, and I wasn’t aware that The Pull of the Stars had an f/f relationship. I knew that a couple of my friends hadRead More

Kayla Bell reviews The Labyrinth’s Archivist by Day Al-Mohamed

November 7, 2020 by Danika Ellis

Are you looking for a book with a diverse cast, compelling story, great worldbuilding, and disability representation? Lucky you, because you have The Labyrinth’s Archivist. This fantastical novella stars Azulea, the newest in a long line of Archivists, the people who interview travelers and make maps of the worlds that extend out from the Archivists’Read More

Lesbian Manga and Yuri Manga: What’s the Difference and Where Should You Start?

November 6, 2020 by Danika Ellis

Getting into a new genre or format is always intimidating. Manga is a Japanese form of comics that tends to be endlessly marathonable: once you get started on a series, you want to sit down and read them all. For me, the most exciting thing about starting to read manga was that it already hadRead More

Carolina reviews The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab

October 29, 2020 by Danika Ellis

“Your characters begin to live the way you do, unrepentant. Never reduced to their queerness, only expanded by it. It infuses them in many ways, sometimes subtle, others loud.” What does it mean to be invisible? As queer people, most of us are familiar with invisibility in many forms. For some of us, it’s beingRead More

Meagan Kimberly reviews The Lady’s Guide to Celestial Mechanics (Feminine Pursuits) by Olivia Waite

October 27, 2020 by Danika Ellis

Minor spoilers toward the end Olivia Waite’s The Lady’s Guide to Celestial Mechanics is a fun historical romance about a widowed countess and lady astronomer. Lucy wants to pick up her father’s work and do the translation for a famous French astronomer for England’s science society, but lo and behold, they’re all men and sexistRead More

16 Brilliant Bi and Lesbian Literary Fiction Novels to Keep You Thinking

October 24, 2020 by Danika Ellis

When I say that I read mostly bi and lesbian literature, people often assume that means F/F romance. Although I like the occasional romance novel, the truth is that it makes up very little of my reading life. There are sapphic books in every genre: science fiction, fantasy, mystery, nonfiction, etc. One of the genresRead More

Emily reviews Written in the Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur

October 14, 2020 by Danika Ellis

This book is sold as Bridget Jones meets Pride and Prejudice, and it does have nods to both of those, but it’s a delightful story all of its own. The story begins with Darcy and Elle having a disastrous first date. However, Elle is working with Darcy’s brother, so they can’t just pretend it neverRead More

Rachel reviews The Night Off by Meghan O’Brien

October 13, 2020 by Danika Ellis

I’m always on the hunt for good, well-rounded, lesbian erotica and I was so thrilled to find Meghan O’Brien’s novels from Bold Strokes Books. I started with The Sex Therapist Next Door (2018) and really enjoyed it, but The Night Off (2012) was such a fun read that I felt I had to review it.Read More

Thais reviews Deathless Divide by Justina Ireland

October 12, 2020 by Danika Ellis

I have had Dread Nation in my TBR list for a while. After Deathless Divide was released, I was even more pressed to check out this duology, even though YA stories about zombies are not exactly something I would normally read. The premise was just too good—after the dead rise during the American Civil War,Read More

Sinclair reviews Untamed by Glennon Doyle

October 11, 2020 by Danika Ellis

I was skeptical about this book. Remember back in May 2020 when nearly the entire bestseller list was taken up by anti-racist titles such as How To Be An Anti-Racist, Me & White Supremacy, and My Grandmother’s Hands? Untamed was also on there, and I felt skeptical about a white woman’s voice being amplified so loudly during such aRead More
