Anna M reviews Without Warning by KG Macgregor

March 22, 2013 by Danika Ellis

Taking my cue from a comment on my last review, I read another KG MacGregor book, this time Without Warning. The book is the first in her Shaken series, which originated as Xena-based fanfiction (available here). In Without Warning, lawyer Lily Stewart and car dealer Anna Kaklis are both inside a mall in Los AngelesRead More

Erica Gillingham reviews The Essential Dykes to Watch Out For by Alison Bechdel

March 20, 2013 by Danika Ellis

I had heard of Dykes To Watch Out For by Alison Bechdel long before Bechdel published her first graphic memoir, Fun Home. But, not being one of the cool kids, I didn’t read it. Fast-forward many years, some Christmas money and one gay bookstore later and I finally had my very own copy of TheRead More

Laura reviews “Wine For A Shotgun” by Marty McConnell

March 19, 2013 by Danika Ellis

Wine For A Shotgun by Marty McConnell is the most beautiful collection of poetry I’ve ever read. Now, a caveat: I say this as a reader of fiction who is generally interested in — but hasn’t read read an awful lot of — poetry. Like Danika, I often don’t feel feel qualified to write aboutRead More

Katie Raynes reviews Ash by Malinda Lo

March 17, 2013 by Danika Ellis

I’d encountered numerous mentions of Malinda Lo’s Ash, a retelling of Cinderella, long before I bought a copy. It’s always on lists of fantasy fiction with lesbian protagonists and from what I’ve seen, it enjoys a lot of popularity and good reviews. I bought it hoping to find a professional, lush retelling of a fairyRead More

Danika reviews The Disciple of Las Vegas: An Ava Lee Novel by Ian Hamilton

March 15, 2013 by Danika Ellis

I was recommended this book (and subsequently offered it by the publisher) while putting together a list of Asian lesbian books. Ava Lee is a Chinese-Canadian lesbian forensic accountant (she tracks down millions of dollars) and a certified bad-ass. I actually just realized when looking this book up to link it that this is theRead More

Danika reviews Prairie Silence by Melanie Hoffert

March 8, 2013 by Danika Ellis

I have a strong draw towards rural queer stories. I’m not sure why, because I grew up in a mid-sized liberal/hippie city, but I find myself seeking out and basking in stories by Ivan Coyote, Rae Spoon, emily m. danforth and now Melanie Hoffert. I think it’s because the traditional narrative of queer lives isRead More
