Danika reviews Hot Dog Girl by Jennifer Dugan

August 6, 2019 by Danika Ellis

What a great summer read. Lou is gearing up for The Best Summer Ever, and even being cast as the hot dog at her summer carnival job doesn’t break her stride. Sure, her crush is literally dating the Princess of the park, but she’s got a plan to snag this diving pirate for herself. AndRead More

Emily Joy reviews The Daylight Gate by Jeannette Winterson

August 1, 2019 by Danika Ellis

Trigger warnings for sexual assault and pedophilia I must first admit that I am new to Jeanette Winterson’s books. Previously, I’ve only read Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit, and I know that she is a well-known lesbian author. Otherwise, I don’t know much. I picked up The Daylight Gate because I wanted to knowRead More

Anna Marie reviews Stone Butch Blues

July 25, 2019 by Danika Ellis

Ever since I learnt about Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg I’ve wanted to read it, but I knew it would be an intense book to read with quite a lot of violence in it, so I waited till I thought I might be slightly more ready for it. The time to read it arrived since, lastRead More

Every Exquisite Thing by Cassandra Clare and Maureen Johnson
Lesbrary Reviews

Meagan Kimberly reviews “Every Exquisite Thing” by Cassandra Clare and Maureen Johnson

July 23, 2019 by Danika Ellis

This story is part of a collection called Ghosts of the Shadow Market, another installment that takes place in Clare’s Shadowhunter universe. For those unfamiliar with this world, the short version is this: A race of people with angel blood running through their veins, known as children of the Nephilim, keep demons at bay workingRead More

In the Silences by Rachel Gold
Lesbrary Reviews

Danika reviews In the Silences by Rachel Gold

July 23, 2019 by Danika Ellis

While Rachel Gold usually writes about gender and sexuality, In the Silences expands this by also tackling race. Although it does have a non-binary, genderfluid main character who is discovering and accepting their gender identity, it is just as much about Kaz learning about race, racism, and whiteness. While I originally was a bit worried about aRead More

Shira Glassman reviews Proper English by KJ Charles

July 20, 2019 by Danika Ellis

I can think of no more convincing way to start my review/endorsement of KJ Charles’ new book Proper English than these words I added to a reblog of an aesthetic post on Tumblr: “I just read this yesterday! Folks, y’all know there’s an Edwardian lesbian romance that is also a country house murder mystery where the lesbians solve itRead More

Megan G reviews Unspeakable by Abbie Rushton

July 18, 2019 by Danika Ellis

Megan hasn’t spoken in months. Not since that horrible day. She worries that if she starts talking, she won’t be able to stop, and there are some things she simply cannot tell anybody. Except suddenly Jasmine moves to town; kind and talkative Jasmine. And for some reason, Megan finds herself wanting to speak again. ThisRead More

Marthese reviews Firework by Melissa Brayden

July 12, 2019 by Danika Ellis

“There were olives in her drink, she could fashion an olive branch” It’s summer (here), which means beach reading! Granted, I live on an island and have not yet gone to swim but you get what I mean: giving romances another try. I settled on Firework by Melissa Brayden because it’s a novella and itRead More
