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
Anna M. reviews Desert of the Heart by Jane Rule
I became aware of the movie Desert Hearts (1985) when I (like the protagonist of the film It’s in the Water) was scouring my local video stores for movies with lesbian content. It was the mid- to late-90s, and there were still stores with actual videos in them. I have watched Desert Hearts–and Go Fish,Read More

Sponsored Review: Danika reviews Walking the Labyrinth by Lois Cloarec Hart
Walking the Labyrinth is definitely not the typical formula for a lesbian romance novel. It begins one year after Lee’s wife dies. Lee is deeply in mourning, and has grown listless and depressed. Her family and friends stage an intervention, as her late wife requested before she died. Lee receives a letter her wife wrote atRead More
