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

Sponsored Review: Danika reviews the Courage of Outliers by Elizabeth Samit

November 14, 2013 by Danika Ellis

The Courage of Outliers by Elizabeth Samit is a collection of ten mystery short stories, all with some gay or lesbian content, usually with a lesbian protagonist. I don’t read a lot of mysteries: I tend to be terrible at spotting clues, and usually I end up not only surprised but confused by the bigRead More

Tag reviews A Distant Footstep On the Plain by Stephanie Byrd

November 12, 2013 by Danika Ellis

A Distant Footstep on the Plain is a collection of poetry at its finest, its most ragged and painful, and its most hopeful. The primary focus is on things that personally affect Byrd: racism, classism, poverty, and relationships with women. Byrd doesn’t hold back at all whether she’s writing about the experience of racism (“so IRead More

Anna M. reviews Homestead by Radclyffe

November 7, 2013 by Danika Ellis

Radclyffe’s Homestead is a departure from the romances featuring doctors and first responders and so on that usually characterize her books. It’s a sequel of sorts to 2007’s When Dreams Tremble (which I don’t think I’ve read–sometimes it’s hard to tell them all apart), exploring the same upstate New York setting and featuring that coupleRead More

Lena reviews Out of Time by Lesley Dimmock

November 5, 2013 by Danika Ellis

Strangely enough, the title of Lesley Dimmock’s new novel, Out of Time, not only describes the plot, but also the general feeling of the book.  Dimmock’s created a nice story and compelling characters, but the narrative still feels hasty and rushed, The book opens with Queen Elizabeth the first on horseback bickering with her courtiers.Read More

Casey reviews She Rises by Kate Worsley

November 1, 2013 by Danika Ellis

I’m not sure how to begin this review.  I have two options:  1) I can tell you I loved this book and urge you to get your hands on it right away; 2) I can warn you that it’s very difficult for me to discuss this book in any depth without revealing GIANT SPOILERS.  YouRead More
