Do you know those books that come into your life exactly at the right time? Minnie Bruce Pratt’s memoir S/he is just that book for me right now. Although she’s a woman from quite a different time and place than me—she’s a white woman from the Southern States who came out as a lesbian inRead More
Anna M. reviews Girl Friends Complete Collection v.1 by Milk Morinaga
During an idle moment at work, I pulled the first volume of the Girl Friends manga collection by Milk Morinaga off the shelf and devoured it in one sitting. The book is classified as young adult (despite a bit of nudity) and I have seen it described online as “schoolgirl yuri.” The shy, bookish MarikoRead More

Guest Lesbrarian Lindy Pratch reviews Gay Dwarves of America by Anne Fleming
Anne Fleming’s Gay Dwarves of America is a collection of offbeat stories, most of them containing queer content. They are smart, funny and poignant. When Fleming was at the Vancouver Writers Fest last month, all but four copies of this book sold out at her first reading, so I feel lucky to have snapped one up. AfterRead More
Lena reviews Gay Pride and Prejudice by Kate Christie (and Jane Austen)
At this point, I’m kind of convinced that Kate Christie and I have some bizarre rainbow mind connection we’re not aware of yet. Not only is “Gay Pride and Prejudice,” her delightful book, an idea I’ve had in the back of my head for several years, but it follows the same romantic trajectory thatRead More

Red Falcon’s District is a historical fantasy novel by Leilani Beck. The story follows Bridget Caswell — a plucky young woman who has been on the run her entire life — as she takes sanctuary in an unusual, little known London district.

Jill Guccini reviews The Narrows by M. Craig
The world of the M. Craig’s The Narrows (http://narrowsthenovel.com/) contains a lot of elements you’ll recognize: full of bicycles and outcasts, skinny jeans and crowded cafes, and of course, a healthy dose of beer, its streets very much resemble a Portland or a Brooklyn of today. Yet then there’s the Other Stuff. There’s dragons andRead More
Katie Raynes reviews The Gunfighter and the Gear-Head by Cassandra Duffy
Cassandra Duffy’s The Gunfighter and the Gear-Head is a fun melding of steampunk and Old West in a post-apocalyptic setting. The story centers around Tombstone – which, after a cataclysmic war between Earth and an invading alien force – has reverted to a harsh, dangerous place ruled by outlaws. The story follows Gieo, a dirigible pilot, madRead More
Mfred Reviews Out of Time by Paula Martinac
Out of Time is one of those books that had everything going for it, except conflict. Interesting premise, solid characterization, good writing– but lacking that fundamental tension that gives the reader a reason to keep reading. Ducking into an antique shop to get out of the rain, Susan Van Dine finds and then steals an oldRead More
