Proper English by KJ Charles
Lesbrary Reviews

Susan reviews Proper English by KJ Charles

June 12, 2019 by Danika Ellis

KJ Charles’ Proper English is a country-house murder mystery following Patricia Merton, expert markswoman, as she attends a shooting party that is going wrong in every way it possibly can. The hosts won’t rein in their bullying son-in-law, they’ve accidentally had to host twice as many people as expected, and Pat’s old friend is ignoringRead More

Danika reviews Heathen, Volume 1 by Natasha Alterici

June 10, 2019 by Danika Ellis

I feel like Heathen is a book that lots of people are looking for, but they don’t know it’s an option. It’s about a lesbian viking taking on the patriarchy. Norse mythology with a queer lead! That’s what made me pick this up in the first place, but I mistakenly thought this would be incidentallyRead More

Mary Springer reviews Desperate Times by Hildred Billing

June 4, 2019 by Danika Ellis

This review contains spoilers. I will state when I am about to go into them, so if you want to read the first few paragraphs to get a general gist of the book, you can do so safely. Romances between two butch lesbians are hard to come by, so when I found this title IRead More

Danika reviews The Lost Coast by A.R. Capetta

June 3, 2019 by Danika Ellis

This was my most-anticipated book of 2019, and it lived up to the hype. I knew from the time that I heard about a YA novel featuring six queer witches among the California redwood forests, I was hooked. This is such an atmospheric, encompassing read. It’s told in a way that mirrors the fantastical events:Read More

Danika reviews Starworld by Audrey Coulthurst and Paula Garner

May 28, 2019 by Danika Ellis

Sometimes, a book so clearly communicates the emotional state of the characters that it becomes painfully familiar. It is relatable to the point that I instinctively want to distance myself from it. Starworld is one of those animals, and although its characters have very different life circumstances to my own, their loneliness and vulnerability brought me rightRead More

Genevra Littlejohn reviews Cinder Ella by S.T Lynn

May 21, 2019 by Danika Ellis

Fairy tales are comforting because we know how they’re going to go. These days, with the advent of modern fantasy, there might be a lot of changes to the incidentals. Maybe the Prince is a marine biologist. Maybe the Evil Stepmother is a media mogul in NYC. Maybe it’s set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, andRead More

Ren reviews Tell It to the Bees by Fiona Shaw

May 19, 2019 by Danika Ellis

During a classic late-night spiral down an internet hole, I happened upon the trailer for the not-yet-released movie based on this book. The trailer appeared to follow the same depressing arc we accept in film as As Good As It Gets For Us, but the book was available at my local library, and the carefully-skimmed-to-avoid-spoilersRead More
