Affinity was my first venture into the writing of Sarah Waters, and I have to say that I particularly enjoyed it. This novel in particular came well-recommended: firstly by Amazon(!), and seconded by my advisor, thirded by a friend who owned the book and wound up giving it to me(thanks, Emily!). I especially appreciated theRead More
Danika reviews Megume and the Trees by Sarah Toshiko Hasu
I have so many Thoughts (questions, really) about this book, but 99% of them are spoilers. There are trigger warnings also within the spoiler text, so keep that in mind if its relevant. Megume and the Trees is a fairy-tale-like story about a fifteen-year-old girl who runs after a dog into the forest andRead 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
