Miriam is a 15-year-old girl living in a small town in Germany, and like a lot of 15-year-old girls in small towns, she spends her life waiting for something to happen. She fights with her mom; passes her schooldays in boredom. She goes to parties and drinks when she has the opportunity yet never reallyRead More
Kathleen Wheeler reviews Kung Fu Lesbian by Dan Curry
I have to admit that I was a bit reticent to read this book at first- I mean it’s a lesbian book written by a man- what could he possibly know? And then there are the other examples of lesbianism created by men that were floating around in my head, mostly in film: ‘Chasing Amy’Read More
Kit reviews The Miseducation of Cameron Post by emily m. danforth
The afternoon my parents died, I was out shoplifting with Irene Klauson. Every review I’ve read of Cameron Post starts with that line. Somehow, there doesn’t seem to be any other way. It’s a flash of the voice you’re going to know better than your own by the end of 300 pages, and her sadnessRead More
Kit reviews Huntress by Malinda Lo
Huntress / Malinda Lo Little Brown and Company, 2011 If you could change your fate…would you? Argh, wait. Wrong story. At its heart, all the same, Malinda Lo’s Huntress is a beautifully written, sometimes strangely distant story that tackles fate, free will, and the joy of a journey. Two girls study at The Academy—a wrought-ironRead More
Guest Lesbrarian Erica reviews Adaptation by Malinda Lo
The night I finished reading lesbian author Malinda Lo’s third young adult novel, Adaptation, I dreamt of plane crashes, government conspiracy cover-ups, and my new, super-natural ability to hear the most minute of sounds. In short, it was a restless night—but so worth it. Adaptation takes place in post-9/11 America in the not too distanceRead More

Hannah reviews Taking My Life by Jane Rule
Taking My Life is Jane Rule’s autobiography, yet it was only published posthumously in October 2011. And it might never have been published, had it not been found by chance by Linda M. Morra, a Canadian academic, in an archive box at the University of British Columbia a year after Rule’s death. Since both aRead More

Mfred Reviews A Field Guide to Deception by Jill Malone
I feel a little like I got tricked into reading Malone’s A Field Guide to Deception. I downloaded a ton of books to my eReader, started one, started another, and then finally got sucked in by Malone’s beautiful prose. It really is such a pleasure to read a well-written book; it can even get aRead More
