I am so happy I read this anthology. The introduction starts with an Audre Lorde quote, which is the right way to kick off a book. The stories ran the gamut from meeting cute to the culmination of decades of longing. Every story ended happily, those happy endings felt genuine and deserved, and drama andRead More
Kalyanii reviews Slow Burn by Marlene Leach
If truth be told, very little offends me. After all, I spent several years reviewing erotica back in the 1990’s, before the genre assumed any sense of responsibility with regard to consent, transparency or human dignity. However, in spite of all that fell short within Slow Burn, author Marlene Leach succeeded in utterly sickeningRead More
Link Round Up: June 29 – July 5
As in previous years, this list was the most difficult to compile and is unfortunately much shorter than the other two lists. Many books that feature queer disabled people don’t make it clear in their cover blurb or promotional materials. I rely heavily on detailed book reviews – and occasionally random happenstance – to findRead More
Danika reviews Virtual Equality: The Mainstreaming of Gay and Lesbian Liberation by Urvashi Vaid
Virtual Equality: The Mainstreaming of Gay and Lesbian Liberation by Urvashi Vaid is an examination of the history of the gay and lesbian right/liberation movement, as well as its current trajectory. It takes a close look at gay and lesbian advocacy as it stands now and suggests what some of the problems with the movementRead More
Link Round Up: June 22 – 28
Fingersmith by Sarah Waters is one of my favourite books of all time (tied only with Waters’s Tipping the Velvet), so I’m feeling pretty spoiled by the news this week: Fingersmith is being adapted both as a play and as a Korean movie! And if that wasn’t cool enough, you can also take a Fingersmith-themed tour of London!Read More
Rachel reviews The Sea Hawk by Brenda Adcock
If you want to read a book about lesbians, time travel, and seafaring, The Sea Hawk by Brenda Adcock has all three. And the story she tells is a gripping, emotional read. In the present day, Julia Blanchard, a marine archaeologist is excavating a ship from the 1800s that she calls “The Georgia Peach.” OneRead More

Marthese reviews Pegasi and Prefects (Scholars and Sorcery #1) by Eleanor Beresford
“I take my questions and shining little badges with me” Keeping in line with my recent reviews, I read another short fantasy book. This time, I read Pegasi and Prefects which is the first in the Scholars and Sorcery series. I found it to be a somewhat good introduction but it focuses more on theRead More
Megan Casey reviews Tell Me What You Like by Kate Allen
From a few things I had read about her books, I expected Kate Allen to write about “big tough butches in leather jackets they never took off.” In fact, that’s exactly what Officer Allison Kaine thought when she found herself in a bar full of leather-clad lesbians. What she discovers (and what I discovered)Read More
