Danika reviews The Inscrutable Mr. Elizabeth by Marlene Leach
I have got to say, this was a deeply weird book. It’s not a romance, and it’s not a mystery. It’s sort of a paranormal thriller, I suppose. The plot is that “Mr. Elizabeth” is reluctantly part of a secret government organization, where her psychic powers are used to track down killers/threats to the “Organization”.Read More
Katie Raynes reviews The Last Uniform by Mera Hakamada
The Last Uniform is a three-volume manga series by Mera Hakamada, originally published in 2005. It’s also my favorite series in the yuri genre – it has the honor of being the first lesbian manga I ever read that wasn’t exploitative or aimed unambiguously at the male gaze. This series is intended for an audience of 18-30 yearRead More
Jill reviews Empress of the World by Sara Ryan
There’s something special about a good teenaged summer story, which is why human beings keep making movies and writing books about them. And Sara Ryan’s Empress of the World is our very own classic summer teen story, with the added bonus of queer sexual awakening. Published in 2001, it came out long before the apparentRead More
Laura reviews Virtual Equality: The Mainstreaming of Gay & Lesbian Liberation by Urvashi Vaid
Have you been on the internet at all in the past two weeks? Yes? I’m guessing the cover of this book probably looks familiar to you. If not, try it in red: That’s right: we’re talking about gay marriage! Marriage equality! A hot topic for around the world right now. While we won’t hear theRead More
Isabelle interviews author Clare Ashton
I had never heard about Clare Ashton until I read the following review of her novel After Mrs Hamilton at C-Spot Reviews. I added the book to my Amazon wishlist and downloaded it to my iPad a few weeks later. I was hooked right from the beginning and couldn’t put it down. After Mrs Hamilton has also been nominatedRead More
Danika reviews Survival Skills by Jean Ryan
I have found an odd thing about writing reviews: I tend to find it a lot easier to describe what I don’t like about a book than what I do. If I put down a book that I hated, I can very easily write a review detailing every flaw. But it’s a lot harder toRead More
Danika reviews Nevada by Imogen Binnie
Nevada is one of the books that I’ve been most excited to read lately. It’s pretty much the first trans lesbian novel I’ve heard of, I like the (weird) cover, the blurb sounding promising, and it’s by a publisher I already like! That’s a lot of positive points! So I was also a little bit nervousRead More

Tag reviews Mafia Aphrodite by O’Neil De Noux
A quick warning to those looking for an erotic novel focusing on lesbian/women-on-women relationships: you won’t find much of that in Mafia Aphrodite. That said, if you’re cool with whatever kind of erotica focusing exclusively on a very attractive woman with tons of attention to stylistic details, you may be enticed regardless. Our leading lady,Read More
