SPONSORED REVIEW: Danika reviews Colossus of Arms by Madeleine Lycka

March 6, 2016 by Danika Ellis

Colossus of Arms is a sci fi story that has just as much to do with marble sculptures and polyamory as it does with space travel. From the first chapter, it reads as a story about a space expedition–but the exotic locale the spaceship is hurtling towards is Earth. The crew mostly consists of the offspringRead More

February 29, 2016 by Danika Ellis

“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

Audrey reviews Ask a Queer Chick by Lindsay King-Miller

February 13, 2016 by Danika Ellis

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

Kalyanii reviews The Morning After by Jae

February 11, 2016 by Danika Ellis

Whereas I assumed the role of the indignant reader on my first pass,Read More
