Marthese reviews My Summer of Love by Helen Cross

August 10, 2018 by Danika Ellis

‘’Something within me sighed in relief and slotted into place like a bridge completes’’ My Summer of Love by Helen Cross was nothing like I expected. This was a library find and knowing that there was a lesbian movie with the same title, I borrowed it. Only, I had no idea what the movie was aboutRead More

The Scorpion is a standalone mystery from Gerri Hill.

Mary Springer reviews And Playing the Role of Herself by K.E. Lane

August 7, 2018 by Danika Ellis

Caid has landed a lead role on the hit TV show, 9th Precinct, which is a spinoff of another show that stars Robyn Ward.

Mars reviews Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic by Alison Bechdel

August 2, 2018 by Danika Ellis

It’s hard to boil this one down. Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic is a complex portrait of a complex family. Let no one tell you that graphic novels cannot be intense reckonings of literature, especially not when they have become staples of the modern lesbian literary canon and have been reproduced as a very successful Tony-awardRead More

Fried Green Tomatoes is a classic lesbian book. It’s one I’ve been meaning to read for a long time, and now that I have… I’m divided. On an immediate, personal level, I enjoyed reading it.
