This review is the result of one of those serendipitous fishing expeditions on Paperbackswap.com. I found Tash Fairbanks’ Fearful Symmetry completely by chance. It is an enjoyable, engrossing read. Unfortunately, I can’t find any other fiction novels from this author. A coastal town in England is in the grips of hysteria– a teenager claims toRead More

everafter by Nell Stark and Trinity Tam is an urban fantasy, vampire-and-shifter novel centered around a committed lesbian couple.

Danika reviews The Horizontal Poet by Jan Steckel
The review copy of this book came with a business card from the publishing company, Zeitgeist Press, and the tagline on that card is “Poetry you can actually read”. And that is true with The Horizontal Poet, to some extent. Some of the poems are very easy to read and straightforward, while other are moreRead More

Danika reviews Eat Your Heart Out by Dayna Ingram
I really wanted to like this book, because I have been looking for lesbian zombie apocalypse books for years (luckily, there are more than just this one now, but still). Luckily, this book is just as good as it sounds. First of all, it’s hilarious. I kept reading out passages to my partner, but I’dRead More
Danika reviews The Miseducation of Cameron Post by emily m. danforth
If you follow other les/bi/etc book sites, or have been skimming the link round ups at the Lesbrary, you may have already heard of The Miseducation of Cameron Post. In fact, you may have already heard about it from a mainstream source, because Cam Post is published by a large publishing company (HarperCollins), and it’s beenRead More
Danika reviews Drawing Love by Juli Jousan
Drawing Love by Juli Jousan treads a fine line. It could easily seem overwrought or juvenile. Drawing Love alternates between the present and a description of the main character, Mo, having a dramatic high school relationship. By relating that in flash backs, and showing that Mo has moved on and grown up since then, it avoids being completelyRead More
Danika reviews Are You My Mother? by Alison Bechdel
I’m going to be honest, I have no idea how to review this book. I loved Bechdel’s first comic memoir, Fun Home, so I was very excited to pick up Are You My Mother? And it definitely does have some of the best elements from Fun Home: the writing is amazing, the art is beautiful, and the entire bookRead More

Guest Lesbrarian Jeanne Courtney review Riding Fury Home: A Memoir by Chana Wilson
It reads like the very best fiction, with vivid details that stimulate all the senses, heart pounding scenes that keep the pages turning, and comical anecdotes that are both thought-provoking and fun. But this story is true, and relentlessly truthful, told without a hint of sensationalism or sentimentality. Personal experiences are deftly interspersed with Wilson’sRead More
