I don’t read a lot of romance or erotica, but I figured that this month, in honor of Valentine’s Day, I would give the genre another shot. I was immediately intrigued by the premise of this one: vampire sorority sisters? I’m in. And for the most part, this is exactly the kind of smutty,Read More
Ashley reviews Forgive Me If I’ve Told You This Before by Karelia Stetz-Waters
Forgive me if I am entirely naïve, but before reading this book, I did not give much thought to the fact that Oregon was once cruel and unwelcoming to its lesbian and gay residents. In 1989, however, Triinu is living in a town set on passing Ballot Measure 9, and it seems like more residentsRead More
Elinor reviews The Night Watch by Sarah Waters
Like basically every other queer lady bookworm my age, Tipping the Velvet and Fingersmith matter to me. Until recently, though, I hadn’t tried Sarah Waters’ other work. I read The Night Watch on a whim, and I’m glad I did. This quiet slice-of-life novel is slow, but I fell in love with the characters. ThisRead More

Casey reviews Miss Timmins’ School for Girls by Nayana Currimbhoy
Miss Timmins’ School for Girls, by Nayana Currimbhoy, might be described as a mystery, a classic whodunit murder story. But it can also equally be called a romance, a coming of age story, and an historical novel set in 1970s India. It’s perhaps because this book is all those things and more that makes itRead More
Anna M. reviews The Paying Guests by Sarah Waters
Sarah Waters, having brought us classics of lesbian historical fiction like Tipping the Velvet and Fingersmith, has done it again with her new release The Paying Guests, which has the blend of romance, suspense, mystery, and historical detail that you’ve been missing in your life. The year is 1922. Frances Wray is a genteel womanRead More
Amanda Clay reviews Afterworlds by Scott Westerfeld
This book is all about the flipside. Two interlocking stories, Darcy Patel, YA wunderkind, whose NaNoWriMo romance has catapulted her into a whole new world, and her creation, Elizabeth Scofield, whose brush with death gave her access to the afterlife and a whole new purpose for her existence. Told in alternating chapters, the young women’sRead More
Kalyanii reviews The First Person and Other Stories by Ali Smith
My journey through The First Person and Other Stories, a collection by British writer Ali Smith, manifested as a perpetual pendulum swing between rapt attention to the tales’ unfolding and an uncomfortable sense of groundlessness mingled with a fair degree of alienation. I’ll admit, at several points along the way, I entertained the idea ofRead More
Danika reviews Tell Me Again How a Crush Should Feel by Sara Farizan
I have to start out by saying that I love this title (and the cover is nice as well). Every time I would glance over at the title I’d think Right? What a great encapsulation of the lesbian high school experience. (I also had a Facebook friend comment on my Goodreads post that I had finishedRead More
