Danika reviews The Second Mango by Shira Glassman

June 5, 2016 by Danika Ellis

The funny thing about being so immersed on the queer bookternet is that you can learn a lot about a book without reading it. Some books or authors come up again and again in queer book discussions, especially if the author is active online. I’ve been hearing about The Second Mango for years now and always meantRead More

Anna reviews Behrouz Gets Lucky by Avery Cassell

June 4, 2016 by Danika Ellis

“I wrote this book because I wanted to see more people like myself represented in smut and romance,” writes Avery Cassell in the introduction to Behrouz Gets Lucky (Cleis, 2016), the author’s first full-length erotic romance. I wanted to see older genderqueer and butch masculine-masculine couples having hot sex and BDSM shenanigans. I wanted toRead More

Marthese reviews Sword of the Gladiatrix by Faith L. Justice

May 26, 2016 by Danika Ellis

  “This has nestled between my breasts, lifted with my breath and listened to my heart.” Sword of the Gladiatrix by Faith L. Justice is a historical fiction set during the time where ancient Rome controlled most of the Mediterranean and beyond. I love a good historical fiction set in ancient Rome, but there areRead More

Kalyanii reviews Cooking as Fast as I Can: A Chef’s Story of Family, Food, and Forgiveness by Cat Cora

May 23, 2016 by Danika Ellis

  For years, I’ve admired Cat Cora for her ability to take on the most notable male chefs of the day, all the while prepared with a quip in her Southern twang and sporting a smile that invariably brings me to my knees. Self-assured and deservedly so, Ms. Cora’s star had risen in the midstRead More

Megan Casey reviews Ten Little Lesbians by Kate McLachlan

May 18, 2016 by Danika Ellis

There is a lot that can be said about this book, not just about whether it is good or bad, but also about the style of its composition, its history, and its characters. This is true of all good books, of course, but not all books are good. It is no secret that Ten LittleRead More

Danika reviews Silent Heart by Claire McNab

May 14, 2016 by Danika Ellis

When I visited New York for the first time, I knew had to take a look at The Strand. It didn’t disappoint, but I probably got the most enjoyment out of perusing the sale racks out front of the store. When I found an old lesbian romance for a dollar, I couldn’t resist, especially givenRead More

Elinor reviews Lesbian Conception 101 by Kathy Borkoski

May 13, 2016 by Danika Ellis

My wife and I decided a few months back to try to have a baby. Naturally, I’ve been reading everything that exists on the subject. There aren’t a ton of books out there for queer women trying to get pregnant. One of the most accessible is Lesbian Conception 101: An easy-to-follow, how-to get started guideRead More

Julie Thompson reviews Go Deep (All Out Vancouver #2) by Leigh Matthews

May 12, 2016 by Danika Ellis

(This review contains some spoilers) Buckle up for a rocky road  of doppelgängers, hospitals, concussin’, and a ménage à wedding.  It’s heating up (literally, I am melting into the asphalt) around the Pacific Northwest and what better way to enjoy your burgeoning beach bum status than with a fun, flirty, roller coaster of a  novel?Read More
