Shannon reviews The Last Place You Look by Kristen Lepionka

October 11, 2020 by Danika Ellis

I’m constantly on the lookout for new mystery series that feature strong, independent female characters, and if they’re lesbian or bisexual, I count it as a bonus. For the past several years, I’ve been hearing all manner of positive things about Kristen Lepionka’s Roxane Weary books, and so, I finally decided to give them aRead More

Zoe reviews Don’t Go Without Me by Rosemary Valero-O’Connell

October 8, 2020 by Danika Ellis

Don’t Go Without Me is a triptych of comics written and illustrated by Spanish-American artist Rosemary Valero-O’Connell which deal with ‘love, loss, and connection.’ Valero-O’Connell is best known for her graphic novel collaboration Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me with Mariko Tamaki, a book about a teenage lesbian and her experience in a toxic relationship. Don’t Go WithoutRead More

Mo Springer reviews Marriage of a Thousand Lies by SJ Sindu

October 6, 2020 by Danika Ellis

Lucky is a lesbian, but in her conservative Sri Lankan family, that’s not an option. She married her gay friend Kris and they go to gay bars, have lovers, and still have the approval and conditional love of their family. When her grandmother falls and Lucky has to move back home to help take careRead More

Danika reviews Revolutionary Girl Utena: After the Revolution by Chiho Saito

October 5, 2020 by Danika Ellis

Revolutionary Girl Utena: After the Revolution is a collection of three short stories to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Revolutionary Girl Utena. If you haven’t watched the anime or read the manga, I definitely wouldn’t recommend starting here. This acts more like an epilogue. Utena is an almost impossible series to describe: it’s about a boarding schoolRead More

Kayla Bell reviews Unspeakable: A Queer Gothic Anthology edited by Celine Frohn

October 3, 2020 by Danika Ellis

Gothic fiction is my jam. I love the slowly building sense of dread that is the cornerstone of the genre. If I could have the job of any fictional character, it would be the creepy groundskeeper of the haunted manors in gothic ghost stories. I also (as you can imagine from me writing for thisRead More

Carolina reviews The Celluloid Closet by Vito Russo

September 30, 2020 by Danika Ellis

I’ve always felt drawn to queer history; there is a certain comfort in seeing parts of you echoed throughout history, reminders that we have always existed. I’ve always felt attracted to these historical ghosts, found in the coded language of long-gone poets and in unearthed love letters written in candlelit secrecy. Vito Russo’s classic TheRead More

Marieke reviews This Is How You Lose The Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone

September 28, 2020 by Danika Ellis

Time War reminded me a lot of Good Omens in the sense that two agents–on opposing sides of a high stakes global war that is being fought out across time (yes, time travel) and space and universes, while also only forming a backdrop to the lives of regular unwitting humans–are not as invested in theRead More

Landice reviews Architects of Memory by Karen Osborne

September 27, 2020 by Danika Ellis

I’m not quite sure how to describe my experience of reading Architects of Memory. I started to say it was “a delight” to read, but that’s not even close to accurate, because this is an incredibly heavy book. And when I say heavy, I’m talking “what if corporations really were able to colonize space andRead More

Casey A reviews Not Your Sidekick by C.B. Lee

September 26, 2020 by Danika Ellis

C. B. Lee may have taken the most interesting spin ever on “write what you know” as her protagonist, Jessica Tran, is a first generation Asian American bisexual, just like she is, but the world of her story is certainly not Lee’s lived experience. Jess lives in the North American Collective, a super state formedRead More

Sash S reviews Spellbound by Jean Copeland and Jackie D.

September 25, 2020 by Danika Ellis

“Hazel Abbot spent her whole life unaware she was a witch. When a spell thrusts her great-aunt Sarah Hutchinson forward from the Salem witch trials of 1692 and lands her in Hazel’s bookstore, everything Hazel thought she knew about herself changes…” If you want a read that’s fast-paced, fun, and filled with well-rounded and likeableRead More
