Frenemy of the People is a YA novel by Nora Olsen, who wrote the YA science fiction novel Swans & Klons (also on my to be read list). Lexie, the daughter of two disinterested business executives, spends her time doing all she can to resist The Man. She’s a self-styled punk rock rebel–a vegan outRead More
Casey reviews The Difference Between You and Me by Madeleine George
I had been reading a lot of heavy things when I picked up Madeleine George’s queer YA novel The Difference Between You and Me and it pretty much fulfilled every expectation I had; in fact, it was actually deceptively complex, despite the fact that it’s a quick read. The Difference Between You and Me isRead More

Rachel reviews Good Moon Rising by Nancy Garden
While most fans of lesbian literature will recognize Nancy Garden for her classic romance Annie on my Mind, there are still plenty of other books she has written that young lesbians can relate to. Good Moon Rising is one of them. It has a combination of lesbian lovers, theatre and acting, and intolerance and ignoranceRead More
Abigail reviews She Overheard Murder by Jean Sheldon
I never thought to wonder why, but Chicago is the best place for a mystery, and that’s a fact. Lately I have been craving a mystery to read, so I decided to check out She Overheard Murder, by Jean Sheldon. This LAMBDA-nominated story is set in Chicago after the end of WWII and is theRead More
Readathon Hours 23 & 24: The Final Update!
Currently reading: The Complete Spiderwick Chronicles by Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black And how is it? Definitely the right pick for the last hours of the readathon. I was zoning out so much, anything more difficult would have been impossible. Pages read this hour: Hour 23; 152, Hour 24: 190, but those are both very generous estimates for littleRead More

Readathon Hours 16, 17 & 18
Currently reading: Paper Towns by John Green And how is it? I really wanted to like it, but I’ve got to say, I’m not impressed so far. I heard that this book critiques the manic pixie dream girl trope, and we’ll see how that plays out, but I don’t think it can make up for the casual sexismRead More
Readathon Hours 13, 14 & 15
Currently reading: Between books! Just finished those two poetry books, and about to start Paper Towns by John green! And how is it? I liked When I Was Straight a lot (especially the first half), but I felt like I wasn’t grasping the poems in This Is What Happened In Our Other Life. I tend to get impatient with highlyRead More
Readathon Hours 10, 11 & 12
