Korri reviews Petticoats and Promises by Penelope Friday

September 15, 2016 by Danika Ellis

I love historical romance novels, especially those featuring women who love women (see Pembroke Park). The high stakes of that love when women could not earn a living and had to secure their livelihoods and social position through strategic marriages automatically creates tension and drama. Petticoats and Promises, a Regency romance by Penelope Friday, isRead More

Susan reviews "i love this part" by Tillie Walden

September 14, 2016 by Danika Ellis

i love this part is a graphic novel by Tillie Walden, which effectively serves as snapshots of the romance and relationship between two American schoolgirls. It was described to me as a sweet queer romance… Which is half right. For the most part, it’s simple and straightforward. The two girls are in love, and spendRead More

September 12, 2016 by Danika Ellis

Poppy Jenkins is a refreshing lesbian romance with authentic characters and a wonderful sense of humour. Prior to reading this, I was at our local public library with my wife, whinging about how I wanted a whimsical Euro-romance in the style of Maeve Binchy or the more modern Cecilia Ahern. To my delight, I gotRead More
