Danika reviews Fist of the Spider Woman edited by Amber Dawn

December 3, 2013 by Danika Ellis

  This book freaked me out. Again, it was one I meant to read in October for my Halloween-y reads, but my inter-library loan didn’t come in until late November. It’s a bit of a shame, because it would have made for a fantastic Halloween read. It’s a short story collection (with a few poems)Read More

Lena reviews Andi Unwrapped by Riley Adair Garret

December 2, 2013 by Danika Ellis

Andi Unwrapped, Riley Adair Garret’s collegiate romance about a popular English professor and her student, is a story about obstacles.  Garret throws up problems that prevent her heroines from being together almost from start to finish.  What starts out as being interesting and exciting starts to feel like tedious and unnecessary drama by the end,Read More

Danika reviews Dark Angels: Lesbian Vampire Erotica edited by Pam Keesey

November 24, 2013 by Danika Ellis

  This was another (in addition to The Haunting of Hill House) book I intended to read in October, but didn’t come in to the library for me until November, so I’m extending my Halloween reads! When I went to pick it up, I was surprised to see that it was billed as erotica: I didn’tRead More

Danika reviews The Haunting Of Hill House by Shirley Jackson

November 23, 2013 by Danika Ellis

I thought I would do something a little differently today and do a video review! I’ve started a booktube (book-themed youtube) channel, but this is the first lesbian book review I’ve posted. Let me know what you think, and whether you’d like to see more or less of video reviews at the Lesbrary.

TB reviews Fingersmith by Sarah Waters

November 22, 2013 by Danika Ellis

After I read Tipping the Velvet, the debut novel by Sarah Waters, I was hooked on her writing. She published Fingersmith in 2002 and it was shortlisted for the Orange Prize and the Man Booker Prize. It won the CWA Ellis Peters Dagger award for Historical Crime Fiction. The descriptions in Tipping the Velvet wowed me. What dazzled me in Fingersmith wasRead More

Sponsored Review: Danika reviews A Very Civil Wedding by V. T. Davy

November 19, 2013 by Danika Ellis

What an interesting book. A Very Civil Wedding follows the announcement that the Princess of Wales has gotten engaged… to her girlfriend. (This is set in 2014.) Following this is the media frenzy, the backlash, and the planning involved. The book is structured in all kinds of different snippets, arranged chronologically. These includes descriptions of a meetingRead More
