As a warning right off the bat: if you’re looking for a book that primarily focuses on lesbian relationships, this is not the book for you. While both of our protagonists end up being queer, the plot of the novel doesn’t really revolve around love interests at all. And in a way, that’s a lovelyRead More
Danika reviews Licking the Spoon: A Memoir of Food, Family and Identity by Candace Walsh
One of the first books I reviewed for the Lesbrary was Dear John, I Love Jane edited by Candace Walsh and Laura Andre. I loved that book, both for the topic (complicating sexual orientation? Yes please) and the quality of the stories. So when I saw that one of the editors had written a memoir,Read More
Sponsored review: Danika reviews Carapace by Yolanda Arroyo Pizarro
I am not the one who cums. It’s her mouth. Alexia’s mouth cums inside me. Shortly before, just by a few seconds, her fingers have ejaculated within me. The electricity has traversed my skins. I have several skins. She has discovered them all and has placed them over me. Those are the opening lines of Carapace,Read More
Anna M reviews Without Warning by KG Macgregor
Taking my cue from a comment on my last review, I read another KG MacGregor book, this time Without Warning.

Erica Gillingham reviews The Essential Dykes to Watch Out For by Alison Bechdel
I had heard of Dykes To Watch Out For by Alison Bechdel long before Bechdel published her first graphic memoir, Fun Home. But, not being one of the cool kids, I didn’t read it. Fast-forward many years, some Christmas money and one gay bookstore later and I finally had my very own copy of TheRead More
Laura reviews “Wine For A Shotgun” by Marty McConnell
Wine For A Shotgun by Marty McConnell is the most beautiful collection of poetry I’ve ever read. Now, a caveat: I say this as a reader of fiction who is generally interested in — but hasn’t read read an awful lot of — poetry. Like Danika, I often don’t feel feel qualified to write aboutRead More
Katie Raynes reviews Ash by Malinda Lo
I’d encountered numerous mentions of Malinda Lo’s Ash, a retelling of Cinderella, long before I bought a copy. It’s always on lists of fantasy fiction with lesbian protagonists and from what I’ve seen, it enjoys a lot of popularity and good reviews. I bought it hoping to find a professional, lush retelling of a fairyRead More
Danika reviews The Disciple of Las Vegas: An Ava Lee Novel by Ian Hamilton
I was recommended this book (and subsequently offered it by the publisher) while putting together a list of Asian lesbian books. Ava Lee is a Chinese-Canadian lesbian forensic accountant (she tracks down millions of dollars) and a certified bad-ass. I actually just realized when looking this book up to link it that this is theRead More
