Maryam reviews Scandal in the Wind by KT Grant
I had the recent pleasure of seeing the musical Wicked, and though I enjoyed it, I complained about the ridiculously short development of Elphaba and Fiero’s romance. When I would do this, I would inevitably get a response of “OMG, have you read the book?” “No,” I would say, thinking to myself: I don’t readRead More

Kristi reviews On A Silver Platter by Linda Morganstein
I have never written a review about a DNF “Did Not Finish,” but after two months of trying to get through this particular title, I thought I would reflect on why I couldn’t make it. Alexis “Call me Alex” Pope is acting as a stunt woman on the set of On A Silver Platter, theRead More
Danika reviews Inseparable: Desire Between Women in Literature by Emma Donoghue

Interview with Emma Donoghue
I just finished reading Inseparable by Emma Donoghue (review to be posted tomorrow), and I had the opportunity to interview the author herself about it! Q: I was coming into Inseparable expecting ambiguous relationships that we could project romantic or sexual feelings on, but I was surprised at the explicit female/female desire stories in literature stretchingRead More
Danika reviews Christmas Carol by Ruth Gogoll
A Christmas lesbian book! How exciting. And it’s a retelling of A Christmas Carol. I love retellings! Unfortunately, I’m not sure it’s a story that can be easily told as a lesbian romance. The original A Christmas Carol is a novella, but Ruth Gogoll’s retelling expands it into a novel. The first half of Christmas Carol is aRead More
Anna reviews Strange Bedfellows by Q. Kelly
Much like Pretty Woman, the lesbian novel Strange Bedfellows by Q. Kelly concerns itself with the relationship between a high-powered executive and a prostitute. Frances Dourne is the poster child for the ex-gay movement in Washington, DC as the leader of the organization Gay Is A Choice. But despite her public success, her personal life hasRead More

Another stack of les/etc books I haven’t read yet. But here’s why I want to read them!
