“It’s dynamite, Mo. It’s dynamite” I have not read many classic queer literature, so when my friend lent me this book – no matter how many ebooks I have, nothing beats a paper book- I jumped on the bandwagon. Dare Truth Or Promise is a classic romance that takes place in Dunedin, New Zealand betweenRead More
Danika reviews Murder Under the Bridge by Kate Jessica Raphael
Murder Under the Bridge is a mystery novel set in Palestine. It follows two characters: Rania, a Palestinian policewoman, and Chloe, a white Jewish-American journalist doing activism in Palestine.

Audrey reviews Ask a Queer Chick by Lindsay King-Miller
Obviously, it’s an advice book. Yes! It’s based on an advice column from the website the Hairpin. Ask a Queer Chick is in chapter format, not Q-and-A, so it’s nicely conversational, but it’s derived from a whole mess of questions from a whole phalanx of queer chicks (and not queer chicks) of varying degrees ofRead More

If ever there were a lesson to be learned in distinguishing between the intentions of the author and those of her protagonist, it would be within Jae’s short story, “The Morning After,” which recounts the Valentine’s Day misadventures of actress Amanda Clark.

Elinor reviews Gay and Lesbian History for Kids: The Century-Long Struggle for LGBT Rights, with 21 Activities by Jerome Pohlen
There isn’t a lot of nonfiction for young readers out there about LGBTQ people or issues.

With just over 150 pages, tons of beautiful photographs, and a century of gay history, there’s nothing elseRead More
Danika reviews Orlando by Virginia Woolf
Orlando is the book that I’ve been most ashamed of never having read. It’s a queer classic! So when I was picking out which book should be my first read of 2016, it seemed the obvious choice. The funny thing about reading the classics is that I always go in thinking that I have a generalRead More
