The Warrior, the Healer, and the Thief (WHT) by Diane Jean is a bite-sized, action-packed adventure across the rugged terrain of the Western United States. WHT is incredibly fun and entertaining. It re-imagines the Oregon Trail within the lens of magical realism. Chase, Mara, and Ari, three women with different motives, join forces against demonicRead More
Audrey reviews Ask a Queer Chick by Lindsay King-Miller
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
If ever there were a lesson to be learned in distinguishing between the intentions of the author and those of her protagonist, it would be within Jae’s short story, “The Morning After,” which recounts the Valentine’s Day misadventures of actress Amanda Clark. Whereas I assumed the role of the indignant reader on my first pass,Read More
Elinor reviews Gay and Lesbian History for Kids: The Century-Long Struggle for LGBT Rights, with 21 Activities by Jerome Pohlen
There isn’t a lot of nonfiction for young readers out there about LGBTQ people or issues. For this reason alone, Gay and Lesbian History for Kids: The Century-Long Struggle for LGBT Rights, with 21 Activities stands out. With just over 150 pages, tons of beautiful photographs, and a century of gay history, there’s nothing elseRead More
Danika reviews Orlando by Virginia Woolf
Orlando is the book that I’ve been most ashamed of never having read. It’s a queer classic! So when I was picking out which book should be my first read of 2016, it seemed the obvious choice. The funny thing about reading the classics is that I always go in thinking that I have a generalRead More
Link Round Up: January 11 – 31
Sorry about the delay! January was a big month for me, including moving, but I’m ready to catch up, so let’s dive right in! AfterEllen posted Why I Wanted More From “Carol” and Daviel Shy’s “The Ladies Almanack” brings Djuna Barnes, Gertrude Stein and 1920s lesbians to life. Autostraddle posted “Don’tRead More
Marthese reviews Frog Music by Emma Donoghue
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
