Part-time Grim Reaper. Full-time cutie. WELL. If this isn’t one of the cutest things I’ve ever read. Becka is an art school student who is crushing hard on Kim, a gothic girl in her class.

Sponsored Review: Vignettes by Lola Andrews
Normally I wouldn’t start a review right off the bat with a content warning, but in this case I think it’s necessary. Vignettes includes several subjects that could be deal-breakers for many readers, so better to get those out in the open first. For one thing, one of the stories (“Eliza and Violet (and Sandy)”) describes (thoughRead More
Marthese reviews Dragon Horse War: The Calling by D. Jackson Leigh
‘’I am this animal because they need me and my warriors to protect their reign of peace’’ I made a yearly resolution to read more fantasy, especially series since those are the kind of books that I end up enjoying the most.

Kelley O’Brien reviews Take Your Medicine by Hannah Carmack
I first heard of Hannah Carmack’s new book, Take Your Medicine, when I was browsing Nine Star Press’ upcoming books.

Tierney reviews The Necessary Hunger by Nina Revoyr
Published in 1997, The Necessary Hunger is one of those novels that should be on the required reading list for queer women: it so perfectly depicts its protagonist’s emotional journey, impeccably capturing the essence of adolescent passion, basketball, unrequited love, and this particular moment in time in 1980s Los Angeles. The novel is told from Nancy’s pointRead More
Danika reviews That Inevitable Victorian Thing by E.K. Johnston
Let me start this review at the end: The Author’s Note, which cleared up some things that I had been processing arguing with myself about the entire time I read reading it: That Inevitable Victorian Thing is a smallish story that takes place in a very big world. I wanted to be sure to include that world,Read More
Danika reviews 50 Queers Who Changed the World by Dan Jones, illustrated by Michele Rosenthal
When I originally saw this small, colorful book, I briefly wondered if it was a children’s book. The format is about the same as Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: one beautiful illustration, plus a one page bio. I quickly realized my mistake when I read the biographies, which includes describing someone as jumping crotch-first intoRead More
