Romance is my favorite genre. It’s my comfort food. And, like bread pudding, romances are easy to find and rarely awful. The catch is it’s hard to find ones that are noticeably better than the rest. It’s harder still to find ones that are really great. In the world of lesbian romance, I’d give AndRead More
Casey reviews Licking the Spoon by Candace Walsh
Candace Walsh’s book, Licking the Spoon: A Memoir of Food, Family, and Identity, had me from the very first page, which features a sensual description of making seafood-mushroom risotto in a steamy, cramped New York apartment kitchen. Right off the bat, Walsh displays her talent for evoking rich, palpable settings, and she continues to doRead More
Anna M. reviews Deep Deception by Cathy Pegau
Deep Deception is the third book in Cathy Pegau’s science fiction/romance series set on the chilly mining colony of Nevarro, after Rulebreaker and Caught in Amber. The latter features a m/f couple, and the former, which I reviewed here at the Lesbrary, was one of my favorite books of 2011. Deep Deception is scheduled forRead More

Danika reviews The Inscrutable Mr. Elizabeth by Marlene Leach
I have got to say, this was a deeply weird book. It’s not a romance, and it’s not a mystery. It’s sort of a paranormal thriller, I suppose. The plot is that “Mr. Elizabeth” is reluctantly part of a secret government organization, where her psychic powers are used to track down killers/threats to the “Organization”.Read More
Katie Raynes reviews The Last Uniform by Mera Hakamada
The Last Uniform is a three-volume manga series by Mera Hakamada, originally published in 2005. It’s also my favorite series in the yuri genre – it has the honor of being the first lesbian manga I ever read that wasn’t exploitative or aimed unambiguously at the male gaze. This series is intended for an audience of 18-30 yearRead More
Jill reviews Empress of the World by Sara Ryan
There’s something special about a good teenaged summer story, which is why human beings keep making movies and writing books about them. And Sara Ryan’s Empress of the World is our very own classic summer teen story, with the added bonus of queer sexual awakening. Published in 2001, it came out long before the apparentRead More
