Ally Blumenfeld reviews A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf
(a.k.a. Why all queer ladies should read A Room of One’s Own) “For masterpieces are not single and solitary births; they are the outcome of many years of thinking in common, of thinking by the body of the people, so that the experience of the mass is behind the single voice.” So ventures Virginia WoolfRead More

Nicole reviews Digital Divide by K.B. Spangler
This month’s book selection is Digital Divide by K.B. Spangler. Initially described as a kind of sci-fi mystery tale with a lesbian protagonist, I found that that, indeed was exactly what the book delivered. Set in a near-future alternate Earth where several hundred people have been turned into, essentially, cyborgs in order to become ultimateRead More
Lena reviews Hearts Starve by Patricia Russo
Hearts Starve, Patricia Russo’s haunting novel, is a story about loss. Not the act of losing, the reality of loss. People who have already lost things and must confront their doomed actuality. For such depressing subject matter, it’s still a beautiful and heart wrenching book. Told as a dark, urban fairytale, the story follows threeRead More

Kalyanii reviews Cha-Ching! by Ali Liebegott
Anyone who’s attempted to outrun her demons will attest that the endeavor is ultimately futile; however, it’s something that most of us have given a shot at some point in our lives.

Danika reviews Adaptation by Malinda Lo
I read Malinda Lo’s Ash and Huntress in the past, and though I enjoyed them, they didn’t stick out as favourites in my memory. So though Adaptation came out with lots of great reviews, and I picked up a copy soon after it was published, I didn’t actually get around to reading it until a couple days ago, after itRead More
