Not Dead Enough by J. M. Redmann
Lesbrary Reviews

Susan reviews Not Dead Enough by J. M. Redmann

December 29, 2019 by Danika Ellis

I didn’t realise until I was halfway through J. M. Redmann’s Not Dead Enough that it was a continuation of a series; I thought it was the first book in a series where all of the characters had very detailed backstories! Either way, Not Dead Enough follows Micky Knight, a private detective who’s been askedRead More

The Names We Take by Trace Kerr
Lesbrary Reviews

Meagan Kimberly reviews The Names We Take by Trace Kerr

December 24, 2019 by Danika Ellis

The Names We Take is a young adult dystopian novel set in Spokane, Washington after an epidemic called the One Mile Cough wipes out a huge chunk of the population. Pip, the protagonist, is an intersex trans girl just trying to survive. But a group of bounty hunters has a different idea as they seekRead More

Carmella reviews Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo

December 20, 2019 by Danika Ellis

It felt like I was seeing the vibrant front cover of Girl, Woman, Other everywhere (or at least all over lesbian bookstagram), so when it won the Booker Prize for Fiction, I decided it was finally time to buy a copy and see what the buzz was about. The book follows twelve loosely-connected characters, eachRead More

Susan reviews Changing Course by Brey Willows

December 18, 2019 by Danika Ellis

Brey Willow’s Changing Course opens with Jessa and her crew abandoning their damaged spaceship and crashlanding on Indemnion – a planet so ill-regarded that most shipping routes don’t go near it. Fortunately for her, she and her crew are rescued by Kylin, a scrounger with a heart of gold, who takes Jessa under her wingRead More

Maggie reviews Patience & Sarah by Isabel Miller

December 16, 2019 by Danika Ellis

For reasons I can no longer remember, I was reading an article about operas when it mentioned an opera about lesbians called Patience & Sarah, which I am sort of upset I have never heard of since I have worked at two different operas. Then I looked into it more and found out it wasRead More

Danika reviews Color Outside the Lines edited by Sangu Mandanna

December 14, 2019 by Danika Ellis

Color Outside the Lines is a YA romance anthology of interracial love stories. (I’m not sure if the LGBTQ+ stories are also all interracial.) Perhaps it was unfair of me to pick this one up: I’m not a huge romance reader, especially when it comes to straight romance stories. I’m definitely not the teen romanceRead More

Falling Into Her by Erin Zak
Lesbrary Reviews

Mallory Lass reviews Falling Into Her by Erin Zak

December 14, 2019 by Danika Ellis

Note: This review contains spoilers. I don’t think they are major spoilers, but integral to discussing the identity politics (or lack there of) in the book. If you liked Just Jorie by Robin Alexander, you will probably also like this book. In my opinion, Just Jorie is a romantic comedy and this is a contemporaryRead More

Marthese reviews All Eyes On Us by Kit Frick

December 13, 2019 by Danika Ellis

“I don’t want her to grow up with only the voices of the Fellowship and our parents in her ears… most of all, I don’t want her to grow up to be afraid of me” All Eyes On Us by Kit Frick promised to be a mix between Pretty Little Liars and People Like Us.Read More

Mallory Lass reviews Floodtide by Heather Rose Jones

December 12, 2019 by Danika Ellis

When I heard another book in Jones’ Alpennia Series was to come out this year, I was both excited and sad because I knew I would read it in a day or two and then the window into Alpennia would be closed again until the next in her series was released. I never dreamed IRead More
