Carolina reviews The City We Became by N.K. Jemisin

July 29, 2020 by Danika Ellis

“People who say change is impossible are usually pretty happy with things just as they are.” In today’s world, amidst the ongoing tensions caused by the fight for racial equality, isolation from the Coronavirus, and political dissent in the aftermath of a negligent administration, it seems that humanity is more divided than ever. N.K. Jemisin’sRead More

Meagan Kimberly reviews Here Comes the Sun by Nicole Dennis-Benn

July 28, 2020 by Danika Ellis

Some minor spoilers toward the end! Nicole Dennis-Benn delivers a heart wrenching gut punch with Here Comes the Sun. The story follows two sisters as they contend with the effects of colonialism in Jamaica and the intergenerational trauma caused by that violence. Their relationships with each other, their love interests, their mother, and everyone inRead More

Danika reviews Zami: A New Spelling of My Name by Audre Lorde

July 27, 2020 by Danika Ellis

Images of women flaming like torches adorn and define the borders of my journey, stand like dykes between me and the chaos. It is the images of women, kind and cruel, that lead me home. Audre Lorde is a name that looms large in lesbian literature, in Black history, and in her legacy in poetry.Read More

Landice reviews Remember Me, Synthetica by K. Aten

July 23, 2020 by Danika Ellis

“I care about you, Alex. […] Part of me says you’re too good to be true, but the greater part of me says that if I give you a chance, you’ll be worth it.” Remember Me, Synthetica by K. Aten is a fun new lesfic novel with sci-fi elements, available now from Regal Crest! NormallyRead More

Maggie reviews Treasure by Rebekah Weatherspoon

July 20, 2020 by Danika Ellis

In these trying times, the romance stories I am drawn to most right now involve two characters taking one look at each other and going “Oh.” Enemies to lovers or any variation thereof has its place, and is a trope I do enjoy, but right now what I want is two characters just being intoRead More

Carmella reviews Love Frankie by Jacqueline Wilson

July 17, 2020 by Danika Ellis

Jacqueline Wilson was one of my favourite authors growing up. Something about her battalions of weird, bookish, tomboy protagonists and their intense friendships with other girls really appealed to me. Looking back on her extensive oeuvre as a fully-realised lesbian adult, I began to see what that connection may have been, and I always wishedRead More

Sapphic Summer Reads: 21 Bi & Lesbian Books Perfect for the Beach!

July 8, 2020 by Danika Ellis

Everyone seems to have a slightly different perspective of what a beach read or summer read is. To me, it’s a book that is absorbing, but not too emotionally or intellectually demanding. It’s something that will suck you in when you pick it up, but you can also put it down to run into theRead More
