The Rebellion of Miss Lucy Ann Lobdell by William Klaber is a mash-up of a book: it’s a fictionalized memoir, part history and part novel. Lucy Ann Lobdell was a real historical figure, and the novel follows the basic events of her life, but between established facts, fiction fills in. In fact, this book isRead More

Tag reviews Fairy Tales for Princesses Who Love Dames by Rene von Bonaparte
Fairy tales have always been one of my favourite things to read, and I’ll eat up retellings of them like nobody’s business. So it should be fairly apparent that I was excited to read lesbian retellings of popular fairy tales. Fairy tales! Modern retellings! Lesbians! That’s a perfect formula for me. The tales in thisRead 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. I like seasonal reads (hence my October binge on horror), and combine that with lesbian main characters? Sold! Then I read the description of 1222 and found that itRead More
