I haven’t read a lot of sci fi, and to be honest, I was little hesitant to start Parting Shots. I was pleasantly surprised! This is a complex book. Theoretically, the main character is Trevathan Evans, an officer and experienced space traveller. She has a tragic romantic past with a lover who was taken backRead More

Danika reviews The Last Nude by Ellis Avery
This book is so good. Like emily m danforth, Ellis Avery has managed to shoot near the top of my list of authors to watch out for after only reading one book of hers. The Last Nude is a beautiful, evocative story of a bittersweet romance between a painter and a model during 1920s Paris. I sayRead More
Casey reviews Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? by Jeanette Winterson
I finished Jeanette Winterson’s 2011 memoir, Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? completely stunned. I don’t think I’ve ever read anything so emotionally raw and affecting, yet so beautifully expressed and wise. It’s the kind of book you need to read with a pen in hand, either to underline your favourite parts, orRead More

Anna M. reviews Keepers of the Cave by Gerri Hill
Gerri Hill, known for writing romances and “straight” procedural mysteries, dips a toe into paranormal waters with Keepers of the Cave (published July 2012), in which FBI agents Paige Riley and CJ Johnston are sent undercover to a girls’ reform school, situated adjacent to a creepy community of cult-like family members. The community of HoganvilleRead More
Danika reviews Macho Sluts by Patrick Califia
Macho Sluts is a book that apparently needs a lot of introduction: 75 pages of it out of the 400 page book. It makes sense, though, because a lot of the appeal and importance of Macho Sluts comes from the reaction to it. It was originally published in the 80s, during the feminist sex wars. BDSM was seenRead More
Danika reviews The Abandoned by Ross Campbell
I learned about The Abandoned from Good Lesbian Books’s Lesbian Fiction list. A lesbian zombie graphic novel?! Sounds too good to be true! I tried to brace myself before reading it. Maybe there would just be gay undertones. Nope! It’s established from the first couple of pages that Rylie is into girls, though romance isn’t reallyRead More
Guest Lesbrarian Lindy Pratch reviews Carry the One by Carol Anshaw
Five adults left a wedding reception in rural Wisconsin very late one night in 1983. Stoned, drunk or sleepy, none of them were in any shape for driving. Their car struck and killed a child and her death stayed with them for years. In Carry the One, Carol Anshaw explores the connections between human beings: siblings,Read More
