Women Float Virtual Book Tour: Kit reviews Women Float by Maureen Foley, plus audio excerpt from the author

January 22, 2014 by Danika Ellis

Anyone who has ever seen me on the internet for any length of time knows that I wish all stories could be made into audiobooks. I spend half my life legally blind. It would make me happy. But I’m also sure that even average narration does one of two things to most stories. First, itRead More

Danika reviews Sisterhood by Julie R. Enszer

January 21, 2014 by Danika Ellis

Poetry is usually pretty hit or miss for me. There are definitely poets that I am huge fans of, but I usually get impatient with more abstract, surreal poetry. So I went into reading Sisterhood with some trepidation. Luckily, I was completely wrong to be worried. This is a beautiful collection, with poems that made me stopRead More

For anyone looking for a novel with a beautiful lesbian love story, complete with seafaring and pirates, then The Sea Captain and the Lady by Vada Foster is the perfect fit.

Danika reviews The Rebellion of Miss Lucy Ann Lobdell by William Klaber

January 17, 2014 by Danika Ellis

The Rebellion of Miss Lucy Ann Lobdell by William Klaber is a mash-up of a book: it’s a fictionalized memoir, part history and part novel. Lucy Ann Lobdell was a real historical figure, and the novel follows the basic events of her life, but between established facts, fiction fills in. In fact, this book isRead More

Tag reviews Fairy Tales for Princesses Who Love Dames by Rene von Bonaparte

January 14, 2014 by Danika Ellis

Fairy tales have always been one of my favourite things to read, and I’ll eat up retellings of them like nobody’s business. So it should be fairly apparent that I was excited to read lesbian retellings of popular fairy tales. Fairy tales! Modern retellings! Lesbians! That’s a perfect formula for me. The tales in thisRead More
