Emma Donoghue is a phenomenal writer take is able to make you related to her narrative. So when I heard about a new book, I knew that I will someday buy it and read it especially one with such a nice cover! Frog Music is a historical fiction with some basis in reality as itRead More
Megan Casey reviews The Dead by Ingrid Black
In a 2013 interview, Anne Laughlin lists Ingrid Black as one of her favorite lesbian mystery writers. It isn’t clear from the interview whether she was aware that “Ingrid Black” is actually two writers—Ellis O’Hanlon and her husband Ian McConnel. Nor is it mentioned whether she was aware that O’Hanlon, a journalist, has written flippantRead More
Danika reviews (You) Set Me On Fire by Mariko Tamaki
This is a story about college, about fire, and also about love. Before going to college at the age of seventeen, I’d been in love once (total catastrophe) and on fire twice (also pretty bad). From the first two lines of (You) Set Me On Fire, I was hooked. This reads like how a college studentRead More
Elinor reviews Same Time, Next Week by Emily Smith
Same Time, Next Week is an incredibly fun novel to read, though not at all what I had in mind. I picked it up because it’s billed as a butch-femme romance. I love romance and I love butch-femme. But I didn’t like this love story or either of the heroines, and I couldn’t get investedRead More
Julie Thompson reviews Trusting Tomorrow by PJ Trebelhorn
This review contains spoilers. Trusting Tomorrow opens with Logan hunkered down in her car, not quite ready to face her father’s empty house. Having never met Logan, Brooke calls the police to check on a suspicious person parked out front of the duplex where she lives with her grandparents. Much to her mortification, Brooke learnsRead More
Danika reviews 100 Crushes by Elisha Lim
100 Crushes is a collection of excerpts from different pieces that Elisha Lim has done over the years, including Sissy, The Illustrated Gentleman, Queer Child in the Eighties, and 100 Butches. Most of these works focus on queer people of colour, and I don’t think I’ve ever read a book that was such a celebration ofRead More

Audrey reviews Gay & Lesbian History for Kids by Jerome Pohlen
The full title is, Gay & Lesbian History for Kids: The Century-Long Struggle for LGBT Rights, With 21 Activities. We’ll get to the activities part. First, as this is a history and reference book for children, I want to break down my impressions. Layout: Are kids going to want to read this? Is it attractive?Read More
Danika reviews The Family Tooth by Ellis Avery
As soon as I finished The Last Nude by Ellis Avery, I immediately added her to my mental list of favourite authors, despite the fact that it was the only thing I’d ever read by her. Some stories are like that. The Family Tooth is a very different book, but it definitely has helped secure her placeRead More
Rachel reviews Patience & Sarah by Isabel Miller
First published in 1969 under the title A Place for Us, Patience & Sarah is a lovely classic lesbian novel by Isabel Miller. Like Nancy Garden’s Annie on my Mind, this book is one of the first and few books of the time to have lesbian female protagonists in love, and to have a happyRead More
