Casey reviews Nevada by Imogen Binnie
I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to get to reading Nevada by Imogen Binnie! I finished it a few days before Christmas and am still feeling the impact of this powerful, thought-provoking novel. Nevada follows the life of a queer trans woman named Maria. She’s in her late twenties, she’s living in BrooklynRead More
Danika reviews The Big Bang Symphony by Lucy Jane Bledsoe
This was the third book I read in December that Queer Books Please categorized as part of the “Lesbians In Cold Places” genre, and it definitely fits there! The Big Bang Symphony is set in Antarctica, and the incredibly cold climate can be felt on every page. Only one of the three protagonists is a lesbian,Read More
TB reviews Tighter, Tighter by Lynn Kear
Today I’m pleased to review Tighter, Tighter by Lynn Kear. This is the second novel I’ve read by the author and I have to say I’m quickly becoming a devoted fan. Before I say more, here’s the synopsis: Eighteen-year-old Kath Branch disappeared from St. James, Illinois in 1975. That same night, local sandwich shop owner Billy CarlsonRead More
Danika reviews 1222 by Anne Holt
When I first saw this book mentioned on Queer Books Please’s list Lesbians In Cold Places: A New Genre, I was already super enthusiastic about the list itself.

Danika reviews Fresh Tracks by Georgia Beers
At the end of November, when I was planning the books I’d like to pick up in December, I took a look at my shelves to see if there were any holiday or wintery books I hadn’t read yet, and Fresh Tracks immediately jumped out at me, so I knew it was a must-read for theRead More
Tag reviews 25 Years of Malcontent by Stephanie Byrd
For November I reviewed the follow-up collection by Byrd, A Distant Footstep on the Plain. I’m doing it a little backwards this time by reviewing her first collection second, but it’s for a reason. 25 Years of Malcontent is, like its successor, raw and painfully real, but some of the works in this collection (e.g. “Mother’sRead More
