Krait reviews Winged Things: A Lesbian YA Short Story Collection by Jennifer Diemer and Sarah Diemer

November 17, 2014 by Danika Ellis

WINGED THINGS is a bewitching collection of young adult short stories, ranging from paranormal to fantasy, all featuring a lesbian heroine. This collection is part of Project Unicorn, a fiction project that seeks to address the near nonexistence of lesbian main characters in young adult fiction by giving them their own stories. Winged Things, asRead More

Marthese reviews The Girl on the Stairs by Louise Welsh

November 16, 2014 by Danika Ellis

This book was my first thriller in a while if not ever and this affected how I saw this book. I had some reservations when I started reading this, due to the mixed reviews. I have to say that overall I enjoyed it. This book is about Jane, who is pregnant and lived with herRead More

Danika reviews The Paying Guests by Sarah Waters

November 16, 2014 by Danika Ellis

Sarah Waters is my favourite author, with Tipping the Velvet and Fingersmith tied as my all-time favourite books. When I discovered her books, she had already published four novels, which I rapidly devoured. In 2010 she released another book, The Little Stranger, which I enjoyed, but was less eager to get my hands on because it was her firstRead More

Danielle Ferriola reviews Kicked Out edited by Sassafras Lowrey

November 15, 2014 by Danika Ellis

“When I was kicked out for the final time at seventeen, the first thing I did –after finding somewhere to sleep for a few days –was to go to the library. I scanned each spine and in desperation began pulling books off the shelves, running fingers over tables of contents and skimming introductions. This wasRead More

Danika reviews Being Emily by Rachel Gold

November 15, 2014 by Danika Ellis

  I feel very conflicted about this book. When I first heard about it, I was really excited to read it, because it is the first young adult book with a trans girl narrator, plus the main character is a lesbian. There are very few trans lesbian books, so they also get bumped up myRead More

Danika reviews Twixt by Sarah Diemer

November 14, 2014 by Danika Ellis

Sarah Diemer is an author that I am pretty familiar with from her online presence, but I’ve only read one book by her, The Dark Wife. One of my favourite Booktubers, Jessie Quinn from Cup of Books, reviewed Twixt pretty positively and recommended it as an October read, so I figured it would be a good one toRead More

Elinor reviews Down On the Other Street by Jennifer Cie

November 12, 2014 by Danika Ellis

  This short story collection focuses primarily on bisexual characters, and all but one of the stories star a bisexual woman. Bi and pansexual women often get short shrift as characters, and it was great to read about bi women as main characters. The women in Cie’s stories were portrayed as everything from unapologetic toRead More

Danika reviews The Story of Ruth and Eliza // self/help/work/book by Kristen Stone

November 11, 2014 by Danika Ellis

  The Story of Ruth and Eliza // self/help/work/book by Kristen Stone is a double-sided chapbook, with one side being the novella The Story of Ruth and Eliza and the other side the poem self/help/work/book. The poem is eight pages and has to do with abusive relationships. It’s fragmented, and it’s unclear which segments are connected, but theyRead More
