Danika reviews Dark Angels: Lesbian Vampire Erotica edited by Pam Keesey
This was another (in addition to The Haunting of Hill House) book I intended to read in October, but didn’t come in to the library for me until November, so I’m extending my Halloween reads! When I went to pick it up, I was surprised to see that it was billed as erotica: I didn’tRead More
Danika reviews The Haunting Of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
I thought I would do something a little differently today and do a video review! I’ve started a booktube (book-themed youtube) channel, but this is the first lesbian book review I’ve posted. Let me know what you think, and whether you’d like to see more or less of video reviews at the Lesbrary.
TB reviews Fingersmith by Sarah Waters
After I read Tipping the Velvet, the debut novel by Sarah Waters, I was hooked on her writing. She published Fingersmith in 2002 and it was shortlisted for the Orange Prize and the Man Booker Prize.

Sponsored Review: Danika reviews A Very Civil Wedding by V. T. Davy
What an interesting book. A Very Civil Wedding follows the announcement that the Princess of Wales has gotten engaged… to her girlfriend. (This is set in 2014.) Following this is the media frenzy, the backlash, and the planning involved. The book is structured in all kinds of different snippets, arranged chronologically. These includes descriptions of a meetingRead More

The Courage of Outliers by Elizabeth Samit is a collection of ten mystery short stories, all with some gay or lesbian content, usually with a lesbian protagonist.

Tag reviews A Distant Footstep On the Plain by Stephanie Byrd
A Distant Footstep on the Plain is a collection of poetry at its finest, its most ragged and painful, and its most hopeful. The primary focus is on things that personally affect Byrd: racism, classism, poverty, and relationships with women. Byrd doesn’t hold back at all whether she’s writing about the experience of racism (“so IRead More
