Wet Paint is a fun, light romance novella, which would be perfect for a beach read (too bad that’s a bit out of season now). It plays into typical romance tropes, describing characters’ appearances in detail (who are all breathtakingly beautiful, of course), and sets up the free spirit artist who has just gotten outRead More
Readathon!
I am participating in Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon again, but since I’m not reading a ton of lesbian books, I’ll be updating over on my tumblr!
Lena reviews In This Small Spot by Caren J. Werlinger
While it’s clear that In this Small Spot, Caren J. Werlinger’s abbey epic, is a love story, it is ultimately a book about excess and restraint. The story’s arc is massive, sprawling across five years and numerous memories. It’s a lengthy commitment, but luckily the prose moves along at a nice pace. Werlinger has aRead More
Danika reviews The Gilda Stories by Jewelle Gomez
This October I decided that I wanted to devote some time to Halloween reads. My top pick was a lesbian vampire classic (no, not that one), The Gilda Stories. It’s not the first lesbian vampire book I’ve read, but this one stands out for being neither horror nor erotica. It follows a vampire from just beforeRead More
Sponsored Review: Danika reviews Charity by Paulette Callen
Charity is a novel that mixes several genres. It is definitely historical fiction, set in the late 19th century in a small town in America, and it is also sort of a lesbian romance novel, but there’s definitely the element of a mystery as well. At the same time, it’s an exploration of the townRead More

Tag reviews The Collection: Short Fiction from the Transgender Vanguard edited by Tom Leger and Riley Macleod
“In some ways, this book is a response to what so many professors of English language literature ask their students to consider at the start of each semester. Why literature? What does literature accomplish?” The Collection: Short Fiction from the Transgender Vanguard is straightforward in what it is right in the title. It’s a collectionRead More
Danika reviews The Red Tree by Caitlin R. Kiernan
For October, in honor of Halloween, I’ve been picking up some appropriate books. This one I was especially excited about, because there aren’t a lot of lesbian horror books. Besides, the premise really appealed to me. Here, I’ll just paste part of the the blurb. Sarah Crowe left Atlanta, and the remnants of a tumultuousRead More
Anna M reviews Small Town Trouble by Jean Erhardt
Jean Erhardt’s Small Town Trouble is the first in a series of mysteries that features the somewhat reluctant detective Kim Claypoole. As the action begins, we find Kim returning to the small Ohio town of her youth to advise her mother on a potentially shady real estate deal. Behind her, she leaves a successful restaurant,Read More
Casey reviews Mermaid in Chelsea Creek by Michelle Tea
I feel a bit like a terrible literary queer when I say that I haven’t read much of Michelle Tea—I actually saw the film version of Valencia when it was recently at Vancouver’s queer film festival, and I haven’t read the book yet! While Michelle Tea was in town for the screening, though, I hadRead More
