Throughout my reading of Lorrie Sprecher’s latest release, there was no denying the frustration — in fact, near torment — I endured in witnessing the chasm between what Pissing in a River is and what it could have been. One might equate the experience to an encounter with a woman who inspires boundless passion andRead More

Danika reviews My Education by Susan Choi
I have a weakness for media about a certain kind of relationship. The passionate, destructive, almost-certainly-doomed kind. (This probably doesn’t say anything good about me.) My Education fits neatly into this category, and it definitely delivered the kind of drama that I was looking for. Regina, a university grad student, can’t resist the urge to takeRead More
Danika reviews Babyji by Abha Dawesar
I don’t know what to think about Babyji. This is going be less of a review and more of an unpacking of my emotions. It’s one of the most uncomfortable reading experiences I have had. I assume that is purposeful, but it means that I can’t seem to get a handle on my own emotional reaction.Read More
Danika reviews Ascension by Jacqueline Koyanagi
As soon as I heard about Ascension, I knew I was going to read it. Although I haven’t read a lot of sci fi, it’s a genre that I want to get into more, and adding a lesbian main character is the best way to draw me in. In fact, in theory this seemed likeRead More
Danika reviews Autobiography of a Family Photo by Jacqueline Woodson
I recently read my first Jacqueline Woodson book, The House You Pass On the Way, and really enjoyed it. I was expecting Autobiography of a Family Photo–same author, similar size, both with queer content–to have a lot in common with that book, but this turned out to be a completely different reading experience. Autobiography of a FamilyRead More
Rachel reviews Ash by Malinda Lo
Anyone into lesbians living in a fantasy/medieval world should pick up this Cinderella retelling, Ash by Malinda Lo. Having read it twice, I’m very impressed with the details and the culture of this beautiful novel. In a fantasy world, young Aisling “Ash” has lost her mother. Before she can properly grieve, her father leaves onRead More

Readathon Hour 19
Currently reading: Babyji by Abha Dawesar. And how is it? SO UNCOMFORTABLE. I was so on board for this character at first and now I’m totally backpedalling. She compared herself to Humbert Humbert?? Pages read this hour: 45 Pages read in total: 675 & 1 graphic novel Books finished: Searching for Whitopia by Rich Benjamin (the last 100 pages), Ascension by JacquelineRead More
Readathon Hours 17 & 18
Currently reading: Babyji by Abha Dawesar. And how is it? I like it, but I don’t know how to feel? It’s about a sixteen-year-old sleeping with older women, and I honestly don’t know how the power dynamics work. One is her servant and one is a woman she hardly knows who she actively pursued. The other womanRead More
