Ellen Klage’s Passing Strange is an award-winning fabulist romance between Haskel, a cover artist for pulp magazines, and Emily, a singer in a lesbian bar, set in San Francisco during the 1939-1940 World Fair. It’s a beautiful, weird little story, with just a tiny touch of magic, that revolves around a friendship group of queerRead More

Alexa reviews Outrun the Wind by Elizabeth Tammi
Outrun the Wind has been on my list of most anticipated releases ever since I saw that magical cover, and learned that it is a Greek mythology love story between two complicated young women. I love reading stories based on Greek mythology, but most of the ones I’ve read recently were modern retellings, so I wasRead More
Gail Marlene Schwartz reviews Conflict is Not Abuse: Overstating Harm, Community Responsibility, and the Duty of Repair by Sarah Schulman
“The fact that something could go wrong does not mean that we are in danger. It means that we are alive.” – Conflict is Not Abuse by Sarah Schulman Just days after the American midterm election, it’s impossible to avoid the ever-growing polarization in the U.S. Author, playwright, and professor Sarah Schulman takes a new look at similar dynamicsRead More
Mallory Lass reviews America by Gabby Rivera, Illustrated by Joe Quinones and Annie Wu
I only recently (in the last 18 months) got into reading comic books. Honestly, I never understood the appeal, and no one I knew read them when I was younger. But, I am so glad I started. They are a little intimidating to figure out (I still couldn’t tell you their naming/numbering system, it makesRead More
Mary Springer reviews Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu
This review contains spoilers. Given that this was written in 1872 by a presumably heterosexual cisgender man, I was not expecting a happy ending. This is the story of a lesbian vampire preying on an innocent young woman and being killed by said young woman’s father and her father’s friends (yes, all men). This isn’tRead More
Danika reviews Gossamer Axe by Gael Baudino
“A new magic has entered the realm of the Sidh–and its name is rock n’ roll!” – Gossamer Axe front cover blurb I will admit that I picked this up primarily because of the cover. A woman in high fantasy/ancient Celt robes, hair billowing behind her, playing an electric guitar? Add in the cover blurbRead More
Mars Reviews Stray: Memoir of a Runaway by Tanya Marquardt
Content warning for child abuse, alcoholism, incest, domestic violence, dissociation. This review does contain spoilers. Tanya Marquardt was sixteen years old when she ran away from the home she shared with her mother, stepfather, and assorted siblings in the small Canadian town of Port Alberni. Her flight was strategic, timed right for when Tanya becameRead More
Quinn Jean reviews Amelia Westlake by Erin Gough
[warning: this review references sexual harassment, bullying and victim blaming as depicted in the novel] If you’ve ever wanted to read an intersectional feminist lesbian love story about teenage girls pulling off a political art hoax, then this is the book for you. In all seriousness, this is a brilliantly written novel about two veryRead More
Rebecca reviews If I Loved You Less by Tamsen Parker
Tamsen Parker’s If I Loved You Less is a modern retelling of Jane Austen’s Emma. While I love the well-written setting, the plot and characters are underwhelming and the unconvincing romance is so slow burn that it’s practically non-existent. Theo lives in the beautiful paradise of Hanalei Bay with her overprotective father. She spends her days runningRead More
