Danika reviews Sister Outsider by Audre Lorde
Audre Lorde is such an influential writer in lesbian, black, and feminist (and black lesbian feminist) literature and theory that frankly I felt embarrassed that I hadn’t read anything by her. I decided to finally rectify that by picking up her work that I’d heard the most about, Sister Outsider. This was an interesting read for me,Read More
Marthese reviews The Eldermaid by K.Henderson
“Death is never more than a breath away” I binge read this book in a day! I had wanted to read this book as soon as I read the blurb, but, well, I was late for my review. It helped that it was a very enjoyable story that made you want to read more. ThisRead More

Audrey reviews Ash by Malinda Lo
Oh, wow! I’ve finally gotten to my first Malinda Lo book. It will not be the last. Ash is a retelling of Cinderella. It’s twisty, it has a fair amount of the fair folk, and it has some great love interests. It’s also one of those books I knew would already have been reviewed aRead More
Casey reviews A Cup of Water Under My Bed by Daisy Hernandez
