Meagan Kimberly reviews Perspective by Monica McCallan

January 30, 2020 by Danika Ellis

Campbell St. Claire is a best-selling author whose novel is being produced for a film led by Sloane Murphy, a former friend from college. But the two haven’t spoken since an incident one night that left Campbell brokenhearted. Reunited, Campbell learns what happened that night with Sloane and the two reconcile. But misunderstandings ensue, andRead More

Sash S reviews Tipping the Velvet by Sarah Waters

January 27, 2020 by Danika Ellis

It’s a new year and a new decade, but that doesn’t mean we can’t appreciate an old classic. For that reason, I’m starting the year by revisiting Tipping the Velvet, which was published in 1998 and is set in Victorian England. ‘Have you ever tasted a Whitstable oyster?’ isn’t an especially striking opening line onRead More

January 23, 2020 by Danika Ellis

In case you missed it, the Lesbrary has a Recommendations Page that has all my (Danika’s) top picks for bi and lesbian books! They are listed by genre, and are linked to their full review. It has grown and grown over the years, though, and now it’s a pretty intimidating list to scroll through. Now,Read More

Danika reviews I Married My Best Friend to Shut My Parents Up by Naoko Kodama

January 22, 2020 by Danika Ellis

I know, I know. This seems pretty silly. I’ll admit that I sometimes pick up yuri manga as a guilty pleasure: most of the yuri I’ve read has been absorbing, but comes tainted without enough homophobia and male gaze to sour the reading experience. I’m happy to say that this book really surprised me. ThisRead More

Danika reviews The Stars and the Blackness Between Them by Junauda Petrus

January 20, 2020 by Danika Ellis

It’s the classic story: girl meets granddaughter of pastor, girls falls in love, girls get caught and sent away to separate countries. That is only the beginning, though. Audre loves her Trinidad home, and she is heartbroken to leave it–and her love, and her friends, and her family–behind. Her grandmother assures her that Spirit livesRead More

January 20, 2020 by Danika Ellis

New Ink on Life by Jennie Davids is about apprentice tattoo artist Cassie Whiteaker coming to finish her apprenticeship at the shop of MJ Flores. MJ is initially put off by Cassie’s shyness and appearance, but takes her on because they both have the same former mentor. MJ also learns that Cassie is a cancerRead More

Link Round Up: Comics, Best of the Decade, and New Releases

January 17, 2020 by Danika Ellis

If you’re a close reader of the Lesbrary, you might have noticed a lack of Link Round Ups in the past few months. That’s a result of me being overwhelmed by practicum (I survived! I’m a teacher now!), but I’m also using it as an opportunity to experiment a little bit. I’ve still been compilingRead More

Carmella reviews Notes of a Crocodile by Qiu Miaojin

January 17, 2020 by Danika Ellis

Trigger warning: this review discusses suicide. What do crocodiles and lesbians have in common? Plenty of things, as I learned from Qiu Miaojin’s Notes of a Crocodile. The novel, first published in Chinese in 1994, is a fragmented, broody, and often puzzling coming-of-age tale. The main story is told through journal entries by our narrator,Read More

Essex Colony by Lia Cooper

Susan reviews Essex Colony by Lia Cooper

January 16, 2020 by Danika Ellis

Lia Cooper’s Essex Colony has the set up of a really cool survival horror movie: the first colony on Essex Prime went radio-silent almost a year ago. Soran Ingram, an AI whose lover was the Executive Officer of the colony, is part of the crew sent to investigate–only to discover that most of the colonistsRead More
