I’m ashamed to say that Tipping the Velvet is my first Sarah Waters read, but pleased to report that it didn’t disappoint. Taking place in Victorian England, Tipping the Velvet is a mix of the coming-of-age and coming-out genres; its themes (if I am to reduce a twist-filled tale to such banalities) include leaving home,Read More

Krait reviews Santa Olivia by Jacqueline Carey
Santa Olivia is one of those books that’s really hard to describe. You’ve got a dystopian 10 minutes into the future United States, a daughter of one of the genetically-modified “Wolf Boys,” and boxing. But Carey weaves all of those disparate parts into a ridiculously good story. Loup Garron is born in Outpost 12, aRead More
Elinor reviews One Foot Onto the Ice and When You Know by Kiki Archer

Ashley reviews Girls I’ve Run Away With by Rhiannon Argo
Rhiannon Argo’s Girls I’ve Run Away With has been on my “To Read” list since Autostraddle mentioned it in their “Read a F*cking Book” column last October. After diving into the world of sixteen-year-old skater girl Lo, I can easily see why it was recommended so highly. Argo’s novel was a stark contrast to someRead More
Kalyanii reviews Women Float by Maureen Foley
The names may be different, the locales may boast an unfamiliar topography and the events may have a turn all their own; but, once in a very great while, a work emerges that is capable of providing the seldom-uttered assurance that this story is your story. It is akin to the caress of the author’sRead More
Danika reviews Kissing Kate by Lauren Myracle
I have had this book on my shelf for so many years that I actually couldn’t say with any certainty whether I read it or not. I felt like I had, but I couldn’t remember anything about it. So, since I was going to see Lauren Myracle at Leakycon in a couple weeks, I decidedRead More
Rachel reviews Lady Knight by L-J Baker
Anyone looking for a good lesbian love story that takes place in the medieval period should definitely try Lady Knight by L-J Baker. It has a perfect blend of romance, battles, and intriguing characters. The story opens with Riannon, an open female knight who is rejected by almost everyone who learns her true identity. She isRead More
Abigail reviews Child of Doors by J.S. Little
This book was a wild read from start to finish. It has been a while since I read some truly weird speculative fiction like this. That’s about as specific as I can be about the genre of this book. It was part horror, part paranormal, part science fiction, part fantasy, and possibly meant to beRead More
