August 18, 2013 by Danika Ellis

The Ghost of a Chance by Natalie Vivien is a story that revolves around loss, acceptance, and healing. Darcy Morrow has just lost the love of her life in an accident, and she is utterly destroyed – the only person who even begins to reach her in the weeks after the accident is Alis, a nurseRead More

Danika reviews Finding Bluefield by Elan Barnehama

August 14, 2013 by Danika Ellis

Most times that I write a review, I try to balance the things I liked and disliked about a book, to try to give a balanced, but truthful review. I’ve got to be honest with you and say this outright, though: this is one of my least favourite books I’ve read in a while. It’sRead More

Tag reviews Say Please: Lesbian BDSM Erotica edited by Sinclair Sexsmith

August 13, 2013 by Danika Ellis

Reviews for this anthology abound, because it was a big deal when it came out, continues to be a big deal, and will be a big deal for a long time. I first heard of Say Please in an interview with Sinclair Sexsmith on Autostraddle in April of 2012, and while it seemed really interestingRead More

Danika reviews Word Hot by Mary Meriam

August 9, 2013 by Danika Ellis

Word Hot is comprised of 22 short poems, each less than a page long. The book is divided into two sections: To Lillian and Muse of Two, though I couldn’t quite figure out the commonalities within each section that caused them to be grouped that way. There is an ongoing theme of unrequited or lost loveRead More

Karelia Stetz-Waters reviews Ice by Lyn Gardner

August 8, 2013 by Danika Ellis

Remember high school English class? Your teacher said there were three kinds of conflicts in literature: man vs. man, man vs. nature, and man vs. self. Recently, though, I’ve noticed a dearth of man vs. nature. Okay, there is the surprise hit Sharknado, but I’m talking about good literature, not pulp movies. With global warming,Read More

Danika reviews Lies About My Family: A Memoir by Amy Hoffman

August 6, 2013 by Danika Ellis

Perhaps it’s unfair to read a book that you know you’re not in the mood for. Lies About My Family got positive reviews by Alison Bechdel and Anita Diamant, and I can’t say that it’s badly written… It’s just not a book I personally enjoyed very much. Lies About My Family is, of course, aRead More

Just a note to say that I have cleared out all the dead links from the sidebar and have added some more! The links should now all work, and the blogs linked should be active (at least, they’ve updated in the last year). I’ve also added some websites that have started up recently, including aRead More

Marcia reviews Stumptown vol. 2, by Greg Rucka, illustrated by Matthew Southworth

August 5, 2013 by Danika Ellis

It is only in certain circles that one hears Greg Rucka’s name added to the discussion about not-necessarily-heterosexual women in fiction. He stands (in my mind) alongside Gail Simone and Ed Brubaker when listing the writers who have made a positive mark on comics (specifically the DC Universe) when it comes to women. I wroteRead More
