Danika reviews Gay Lives edited by Robert Aldrich
I’ve got to say, as far as first impressions go: this is a beautiful book. It has a gorgeous, soft-to-the-touch dustjacket and tons of high quality photos throughout and thick pages… ah. Sorry, book geeking. As far as the actual contents, Gay Lives is a collection of short biographies of gay men and women throughout history. IRead More
Laura reviews Adaptation by Malinda Lo
Publisher’s Blurb: Reese can’t remember anything from the time between the accident and the day she woke up almost a month later. She only knows one thing: She’s different now. Across North America, flocks of birds hurl themselves into airplanes, causing at least a dozen to crash. Thousands of people die. Fearing terrorism, the UnitedRead More
Danika reviews One In Every Crowd by Ivan Coyote
Note: I found this post saved as a draft instead of posted! It was supposed to be posted in September! Oops! Ivan E. Coyote was one of the first authors I ever recommended on the Lesbrary, and she continues to be one of my favorites. I was, of course, really excited to hear that sheRead More
Jill Guccini reviews My Awesome Place by Cheryl Burke
Reading My Awesome Place felt like a bittersweet experience from the start, a fact that has nothing to do with the writing itself, and everything to do with the story behind it.

The novel chronicles Rebecca and Dylan’s romance as it shifts in intensity over several years; it’s also a coming-of-age story that follows Rebecca’s journey toward her decision whether or not to join church and becomeRead More
Kathleen Wheeler reviews Flowers from Iraq: The Storyteller and the Healer by Sunny Alexander
‘Flowers’ is at once riveting, heartbreaking, uplifting and cathartic. While I can’t say, ‘Oh my God, she’s writing about me,’ to the specifics that these women go through as the story progresses, there is a human element that is wonderfully portrayed and very easily relatable on a deep level (for me, at least). SunnyRead More
Danika reviews Down to the Bone by Mayra Lazara Dole
2 years ago, I reviewed Down to the Bone by Mayra Lazara Dole with Rie, another book blogger. Recently, I was contacted by the author about reviewing the newly expanded, updated edition of the book published by Bella Books. Because it was a couple of years ago since I read it the first time, I wasn’t ableRead More
Kit reviews About a girl by Joanne Horniman
I remember when we lay together for the first time and I closed my eyes and felt the crackle of her dark hair between my fingers. She was all warmth and sparking light. When I was with her, my skin sighed that the center of the world was precisely here. Anna is afraid she mustRead More
