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

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
Anna M. reviews How Sweet It Is by Melissa Brayden
How Sweet It Is is the third novel by Bold Strokes author Melissa Brayden. It has been more than four years since chef Molly O’Brien’s wife Cassie died in a tragic plane crash, and she’s recently been thinking about testing the dating waters.

Danika reviews Fist of the Spider Woman edited by Amber Dawn
This book freaked me out. Again, it was one I meant to read in October for my Halloween-y reads, but my inter-library loan didn’t come in until late November. It’s a bit of a shame, because it would have made for a fantastic Halloween read. It’s a short story collection (with a few poems)Read More
Lena reviews Andi Unwrapped by Riley Adair Garret
Andi Unwrapped, Riley Adair Garret’s collegiate romance about a popular English professor and her student, is a story about obstacles. Garret throws up problems that prevent her heroines from being together almost from start to finish. What starts out as being interesting and exciting starts to feel like tedious and unnecessary drama by the end,Read More
