Fighting for Air by Marsha Mildon cover
Lesbrary Reviews

Megan Casey reviews Fighting for Air by Marsha Mildon

December 19, 2018 by Danika Ellis

This book is a prime example of why ebook samples should be longer. If Fighting for Air had been available as an ebook when I read it, I would have given up after the ten-percent sample that Amazon offers. At the time, however, there was no ebook—New Victoria came out with one in 2016—21 years after itsRead More

The Half-Light Makes for a Clearer View: Genevra Littlejohn reviews On a Sunbeam by Tillie Walden

December 18, 2018 by Danika Ellis

I’m writing this from inside of a curious space. About a week ago I stood up into a cabinet and gave myself a concussion, which I then immediately exacerbated by doing Chinese lion dance in four shows for a local production of The Nutcracker. So my life for a few days was cut harshly betweenRead More

Danika reviews Mistletoe Mishap by Siri Caldwell

December 15, 2018 by Danika Ellis

I went into this fully expecting it to be lesbian Christmas erotica–which would have been fine, as a fun, quick read! Instead, Mistletoe Mishap has a lot more nuance that I expected. Viv and Kendra are married, and their sex life has fizzled out a bit. Kendra is trying to reintroduce sex to the relationship, and theyRead More

Marthese reviews Her Name in the Sky by Kelly Quindlen

December 14, 2018 by Danika Ellis

“Her stomach hums with the familiarity of it all” Let me start with a short disclaimer: This is not a ‘holiday’ read, but for people that want to read something angsty and somewhat deep, this may be what you are looking for. Her Name in the Sky follows Hannah, a teenage girl that goes to aRead More

Mallory Lass reviews Killer Instinct by Barbara Winkes

December 13, 2018 by Danika Ellis

Content warning: violence against women, murder of women, homophobic father, abandoned by father, alcohol abuse Unsolved serial murders committed by one, or maybe two people, will keep you guessing in this thriller that takes place in the dead of winter. Nothing like solving a murder over Christmas. It is low on holiday feels, and highRead More

Susan reviews My Solo Exchange Diary Volume 1 by Nagata Kabi

December 12, 2018 by Danika Ellis

Nagata Kabi’s My Solo Exchange Diary Volume One is a follow-up to her hit autobiographical manga My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness (which I reviewed in June!). It is an autobiographical essay collection talking about her depression, her attempts to leave home and gain her independence, and her relationship with her family; and it is harrowing.Read More

Marieke reviews Summer of Salt by Katrine Leno

December 11, 2018 by Danika Ellis

[this review contains plot spoilers and discussion of rape] The first half of this novel reads like a landscape painting and the second half reads like a murder mystery featuring an emotional climax, with a sweet but slightly underdeveloped romance sprinkled throughout. In a town on a small nondescript island, magic and salt are alwaysRead More

Mars reviews Hocus Pocus and The All-New Sequel by A. W. Jantha

All her life, Poppy Dennison has known the story of the frightening and magical events that took place in Salem on Halloween night back in 1993. It’s otherwise known as the day her parents really met, or alternatively as the one time her cool Aunt Dani got kidnapped and almost eaten by witches. To beRead More
