Susan reviews Bingo Love by Tee Franklin and Jenn St-Onge

May 13, 2020 by Danika Ellis

I’m pretty sure that I can’t discuss Tee Franklin and Jenn St-Onge’s Bingo Love without spoilers, because the things that naffed me off the most about it are all massive honking spoilers. It’s a second-chance romance; Mari and Hazel meet again in their sixties and decide to pick up where they left off as teenagersRead More

Danika reviews The Worldbreaker Saga by Kameron Hurley

May 12, 2020 by Danika Ellis

The Worldbreaker Saga is a brutal, brilliant series. It is emphatically queer: it examines gender and sexuality from multiple angles, polyamorous configurations of genders are the norm for relationships, there are multiple non-binary point of view characters, and the main character is attracted to women. It boasts a huge cast of point of view charactersRead More

Unspeakable: A Queer Gothic Anthology edited by Celine Frohn
Lesbrary Reviews

Bee reviews Unspeakable: A Queer Gothic Anthology edited by Celine Frohn

May 6, 2020 by Danika Ellis

This book had me in two words: queer. Gothic. I have long-held passions in both areas. The gothic is the realm of the outsider, the rejected, the monstrous. It lends itself to queer interpretation–and that is mostly what queer gothic is. Just interpretation. The height of gothic literature was, of course, the 18th and 19th Centuries, beginning with TheRead More

Mary reviews Upright Women Wanted by Sarah Gailey

May 5, 2020 by Danika Ellis

I’ve been thinking a lot about the future and trying to figure out what it will look like. Will this blow over in a couple of months and will things steadily return to normal? Or is the future forever changed and doomed? I guess it’s nice to think that even if it is the worst-caseRead More

Sheila Laroque reviews Music From Another World by Robin Talley

May 4, 2020 by Danika Ellis

Reading this was the comforting visit from a great pal that I was so desperate for this week. This story takes place in 1977; across Orange County and San Francisco. I should disclose that I believe that any way that one consumes books counts as reading, even if more technically you are listening. It allRead More

Danika reviews Dragon Bike: Fantastical Stories of Bicycling, Feminism, & Dragons edited by Elly Blue

April 30, 2020 by Danika Ellis

Dragon Bike is the newest addition to the Bikes in Space series of Microcosm publishing, which all deal with feminist bicyclist science fiction stories, but each volume has a different sub-theme. I previously reviewed volume 4, Biketopia, and like that one, this isn’t entirely queer stories–there are only a few included–but there are even fewer storiesRead More
