With a cover as strong as Silhouette of a Sparrow‘s, I immediately have high expectations for the story within. And although the cover gives me a bit of a creepy vibe that I don’t get from the book itself, the story definitely lives up to my expectations of quality. Silhouette of a Sparrow takes place in the 1920s,Read More
Casey reviews The Last Nude by Ellis Avery
I picked up Ellis Avery’s latest novel The Last Nude after reading Danika’s glowing review of it earlier this year. It’s not every author who can claim your lifelong allegiance after you’ve read only one of her works, but I agree with Danika that Avery is one of these writers and reading The Last Nude is enough to convince you. This historical novel, set in Paris in the decadent 1920s period between the two worldRead More
Lena reviews Something In the Wine by Jae
Jae’s new book, “Something in the Wine,” is a nice little page-turner that develops and delivers a satisfying story. The story follows Annie, an accountant whose life is so boring she doesn’t realize it, and Drew, a lonely vintner. The two team up to masquerade as lovers to play the ultimate trick on Annie’s pranksterRead More
Anna M. reviews Double Pleasure, Double Pain by Nikki Rashan
Kyla has a comfortable life–she works in a department store, has a long-term boyfriend who cherishes her, and has been working her way toward finishing her college degree.

Danika reviews Born This Way: Real Stories of Growing Up Gay edited by Paul Vitagliano
For this book, I basically just have a list of pros and cons. I’ll start with the cons. When I got this book to review, my Women’s Studies major roommate, who had taken Queer Theory with me, groaned after looking at the cover/title. My partner, me, and my roommate all discussed being a little sickRead More

Danika reviews Frozen by Carla Tomaso
Well, that was… deeply weird. I mean, I expected Frozen to be weird. The premise is that Elizabeth is glad to be free of her narcissistic mother when the mother dies, but finds herself having to raise her cryogencially frozen and age-regressed mother. What I though that meant (and what Elizabeth originally thought that meant) was thatRead More
Erica reviews Bobby Blanchard, Lesbian Gym Teacher by Monica Nolan
In Bobby Blanchard, Lesbian Gym Teacher, Monica Nolan playfully revives the genre of the 1950s lesbian pulp fiction novel. The protagonist is Bobby Blanchard, former field hockey star turned Games Mistress at a private all-girls school in rural Michigan. While her teaching skills are next to none, Bobby has no problem with instructing girls andRead More

Erica reviews Skim (words by Mariko Tamaki and drawings by Jillian Tamaki)
When the graphic novel Skim opens, its lesbian teen protagonist, Kimberly Keiko Cameron (aka Skim), has just broken her arm on her mother’s candelabra that she was using for her Wicca altar. The broken arm isn’t really an issue except when Skim tries to photograph her cast with her left hand or writing her name.Read More
