Most times that I write a review, I try to balance the things I liked and disliked about a book, to try to give a balanced, but truthful review. I’ve got to be honest with you and say this outright, though: this is one of my least favourite books I’ve read in a while. It’sRead More
Tag reviews Say Please: Lesbian BDSM Erotica edited by Sinclair Sexsmith
Reviews for this anthology abound, because it was a big deal when it came out, continues to be a big deal, and will be a big deal for a long time. I first heard of Say Please in an interview with Sinclair Sexsmith on Autostraddle in April of 2012, and while it seemed really interestingRead More
Link Round Up: July 30 – August 11
AfterEllen posted Mary Gaitskill on her bisexuality and writing queer and AfterEllen.com Book Club: “And Playing the Role of Herself”. Autostraddle posted Looking for a Sci Fi, Fantasy, Inter-Dimensional Queer Comic? “Decrypting Rita” is Your Answer Lez Liberty Lit #26: Summertime, and The Reading is Easy Team Pick: Vaginal Fantasy Discusses “Tipping The Velvet” With Hannah HartRead More
Danika reviews Word Hot by Mary Meriam
Word Hot is comprised of 22 short poems, each less than a page long. The book is divided into two sections: To Lillian and Muse of Two, though I couldn’t quite figure out the commonalities within each section that caused them to be grouped that way. There is an ongoing theme of unrequited or lost loveRead More
Karelia Stetz-Waters reviews Ice by Lyn Gardner
Remember high school English class? Your teacher said there were three kinds of conflicts in literature: man vs. man, man vs. nature, and man vs. self. Recently, though, I’ve noticed a dearth of man vs. nature. Okay, there is the surprise hit Sharknado, but I’m talking about good literature, not pulp movies. With global warming,Read More
Danika reviews Lies About My Family: A Memoir by Amy Hoffman
Perhaps it’s unfair to read a book that you know you’re not in the mood for. Lies About My Family got positive reviews by Alison Bechdel and Anita Diamant, and I can’t say that it’s badly written… It’s just not a book I personally enjoyed very much. Lies About My Family is, of course, aRead More
Links updated!
Just a note to say that I have cleared out all the dead links from the sidebar and have added some more! The links should now all work, and the blogs linked should be active (at least, they’ve updated in the last year). I’ve also added some websites that have started up recently, including aRead More
Marcia reviews Stumptown vol. 2, by Greg Rucka, illustrated by Matthew Southworth
It is only in certain circles that one hears Greg Rucka’s name added to the discussion about not-necessarily-heterosexual women in fiction. He stands (in my mind) alongside Gail Simone and Ed Brubaker when listing the writers who have made a positive mark on comics (specifically the DC Universe) when it comes to women. I wroteRead More
Lena reviews Ascension by Jacqueline Koyanagi
We learn in elementary school not to judge a book by its cover, but it might be worth it for Jacqueline Koyanagi’s debut novel. The woman on the front looks a bit like Gina Torres if Firefly had merged with Star Wars and it’s completely amazing. What’s inside is a completely entertaining science fiction adventureRead More
Danika reviews Queers Dig Time Lords edited by Sigrid Ellis and Michael Damian Thomas
I feel like, really, if this book is for you, it probably already had you by the title. This is a collection of essays by queer Doctor Who fans about how their fandom and queer lives intersect. When I heard that this was coming out, I was ridiculously excited about it, even more so whenRead More
