Danika reviews Drag King Dreams by Leslie Feinberg
I loved this book. I still have yet to read Feinberg’s classic novel Stone Butch Blues, but I definitely am motivated to now. I read Drag King Dreams for an English class of mine, and I can see why it would be assigned: there is a lot here to tease out. [mild spoilers] On the oneRead More
Guest Lesbrarian J. E. Knowles reviews Rose’s Will by Denise Desio
Rose’s Will is a very good debut novel. I read most of it in one sitting, despite having to do so on my laptop (it’s e-book only, and I don’t have an e-book reader). Denise DeSio manages to tell a compelling story through the viewpoints of three very different characters. Set mostly in New York,Read More

Danika re-reviews Fun Home by Alison Bechdel
Fun Home is one my favourite books, so I was happy for the chance to re-read it in one of my English classes this semester. It definitely, definitely stands up to a second reading. In fact, I plan on writing my final essay about it, because there’s just so much to it. There’s the obvious interestingRead More
Kristi reviewed The Cruel Ever After by Ellen Hart
Jane Lawless has had a long year. She just broke up with her girlfriend in the fall, and her relationship with her brother has been strained even longer. Her two restaurants are still running in the face of the recession, but Jane has barely had time to breathe. Surprise is an understatement when Chester GarrityRead More
Allysse reviews Time Well Bent edited by Connie Wilkins
This anthology has a very interesting theme. It aims to retell some historical events with a twist: what if the major characters of those events hadn’t been straight? As soon as I learned about this book I wanted to read it. I love History, short stories and obviously I love reading books with non majorRead More

Casey reviewed Main Brides by Gail Scott
Gail Scott’s 1993 book Main Brides is less a novel than a series of snapshots, taken with the camera of the protagonist Lydia’s eyes. She sits in a café-bar on St. Laurent in Montreal—also known as the Main, which the title refers to—observing the women who come and go. These “women travellers, like sleepwalkers, moveRead More
Danika reviewed Maye’s Request by Clifford Henderson
In some ways, Maye’s Request seems like a very small story. It takes place in a short period of time, maybe a week or so. It revolved around the main character’s mother, father, and aunt, with her romance taking a definite backseat. At the same time, the characters and interactions between these four are soRead More
