Mary Springer reviews In Development by Rachel Spangler

July 3, 2018 by Danika Ellis

Cobie has been in nice, safe romance films for too long. She wants to challenge herself with by acting in the lead role of Vale, but studios won’t take her because she lacks an edgy public persona that will sell the character to audiences. Lila is a pop star who is taking the world byRead More

Rebecca reviews Gold by E.J. Noyes

July 1, 2018 by Danika Ellis

E.J. Noyes’ Gold is a sports-centred novel with a great and relatable protagonist and a very steamy and sweet romance. Our protagonist is Aspen Archer, a former Olympic skier whose career ended after a disastrous injury. With her body and spirit broken, Aspen hides out at ski resorts, coaching tourists and avoiding her problems. While coaching atRead More

Danika reviews As the Crow Flies by Melanie Gillman

June 29, 2018 by Danika Ellis

Melanie Gillman is one of my favourite artists (tied with Megan Rose Gedris, who did the Lesbrary banner!), so of course I had to buy a physical copy of As the Crow Flies as soon as it was available. I had been following along with the webcomic, but reading it in a physical version, in oneRead More

Danika reviews Hurricane Child by Kheryn Callender

June 28, 2018 by Danika Ellis

Hurricane Girl is unlike anything I’ve read before. I have been basking in this new wave of queer middle grade books, because that used to be unheard of. Now, it’s become its own little subgenre (though obviously we could use a lot more!) This book comes from a completely different angle than George or Star-Crossed or Drum Roll, Please do, however.Read More

Quinn Jean reviews Taking Flight by Siera Maley

June 24, 2018 by Danika Ellis

[This review contains spoilers and a brief mention in paragraph four of homophobic abuse and alcoholism in the novel.] Taking Flight is a young adult coming-of-age novel by Siera Maley where lesbian LA-born and bred high school senior Lauren gets in trouble for skipping school and is sent to live with a middle-aged Christian youthRead More

Guest Lesbrarian Jess H. reviews Birds of a Feather by Jackie Calhoun

June 22, 2018 by Danika Ellis

Birds of a Feather by Jackie Calhoun is one of the most depressing books I’ve ever read.  And no, I haven’t read The Well of Loneliness.  It is hard for me to think of a single moment of joy in Calhoun’s contemporary romance (published 1999).  I use the term “romance” loosely, because romance seems toRead More

Megan G reviews Cinnamon Blade: Knife in Shining Armour by Shira Glassman

June 21, 2018 by Danika Ellis

Cinnamon Blade keeps having to rescue Soledad Castillo, and with each rescue her attraction to the woman grows. Once she finally finds an appropriate setting to ask her out, things start to get crazy. Or, really, crazier. As soon as I saw that Cinnamon Blade: Knife in Shining Armor was a sort-of follow up to Knit One,Read More

Megan Casey reviews For Every Season by Frankie J. Jones

June 20, 2018 by Danika Ellis

When I pick up a Bella book, I sometimes wonder if I shouldn’t just assign it a rating of somewhere between a 2.5 and a 3.5 and go on to something else. I’m talking about Bella originals, now, not reprints. I usually come around to the hope that I might run into something really outstanding,Read More
