Megan Casey reviews Black By Gaslight by Nene Adams

March 15, 2017 by Danika Ellis

There’s a lot to say about this novel—both good and bad. It starts out like a house on fire but finishes in smoldering ruins. Here are some of the good things. First, there is the setting: 1888 London, smoggy, dark, and smelly. Lady Evangeline (Lina, or “the dark-haired lady”) St. Claire is an independently wealthyRead More

Julie Thompson reviews A Queer Love Story: The Letters of Jane Rule and Rick Bébout

March 14, 2017 by Danika Ellis

“I expect our letters to be someday public property, and, though I write with little self-consciousness about being overheard at some future date, talking intermittently to you and to myself, it seems to me what has concerned us is richly human and significantly focused on the concerns of our time and our tribe.” – JaneRead More

Danika reviews A Pirate’s Heart by Catherine Friend

March 2, 2017 by Danika Ellis

When rare book librarian Emma Boyd searches for a pirate’s long-lost treasure map, she learns the hard way that pirates still exist in today’s world… In case the name of this blog didn’t tip you off, I have a soft spot for libraries and librarians. I may not have become a real librarian myself (thoughRead More

Holly reviews Last Room at the Cliff's Edge by Mark McNease

February 28, 2017 by Danika Ellis

In the interest of full disclosure, I would like to make it known that this is the first murder mystery that I have read.  Due to my unfamiliarity with this genre, I admit that I may not be fully skilled in appreciating the nuances.  I think it’s important to note that this book contains descriptionsRead More

Kalyanii reviews Trouble and Her Friends By Melissa Scott

February 27, 2017 by Danika Ellis

Within an inventory of my virtues, I guarantee that patience will not be listed as one. Thus, had I not been relegated to bed for a week in order to ride out a nasty virus, chances are that I would have abandoned Trouble and Her Friends within the first fifty pages.  However, lacking the energyRead More

Marthese reviews “Olympic Hearts: A Tale of Two Goddesses” by Madeline Kelly

February 24, 2017 by Danika Ellis

“As a goddess of love, it’s not my way to stay chaste” “Olympic Hearts” is a short story by Madeline Kelly. Once I realized what it was about, I started reading it immediately because it combined my loves of reading about mythology and queer women. It helped that it was short, and although I wishRead More
