Laura reviews “Thicker Than Blood” by Avery Vanderlyle

October 16, 2012 by Danika Ellis

Publisher’s Blurb: When the Nanotech Plague began killing off the large population of America using the tiny, implanted robots, the so-called “normals” took it upon themselves to wipe out the rest to prevent the spread. Now, fourteen years later, performer Ayana is in a dangerous position. Her nanotechnology implants are impossible to hide, having beenRead More

Hannah reviews Taking My Life by Jane Rule

October 14, 2012 by Danika Ellis

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

October 9, 2012 by Danika Ellis

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

Alyssa reviews Fairy Tales for Princesses Who Love Dames by Rene von Bonaparte

October 8, 2012 by Danika Ellis

Fairy Tales for Princesses Who Love Dames by Rene von Bonaparte is a collection of fairy tales retold with both a lesbian and a modern twist. The beast and her prisoner, the sleeping beauty and her savior, are all women, and the pea put under the princess’ mattress is a USB drive. The narrative styleRead More

Lena reviews No Straight Lines: Four Decades of Queer Comics edited by Justin Hall

October 7, 2012 by Danika Ellis

I probably should start off by addressing my biases.  I’m one of those people who thought Allison Bechdel’s “Fun Home” actually was one of the best books of the past ten years, one of those people who knows all the staff at the local comic book store and, although I try to smile and nodRead More

Melissa reviews Silver Moon by Catherine Lundoff

October 6, 2012 by Danika Ellis

When a novel begins with the line, “Her first hot flash came on suddenly and unexpectedly, super-heating Becca Thornton’s body from head to toe until she was drenched with sweat,” you know you’re about to read something you’ve never read before. In this case it’s the first line of Catherine Lundoff’s Silver Moon and our first encounter with BeccaRead More

Laura reviews All We Know: Three Lives by Lisa Cohen

October 5, 2012 by Danika Ellis

Much as I despise cold weather, there’s something really wonderful about the rituals of early autumn. You pack up your shorts and sundresses. You begin wearing scarves and boots. You convince yourself that flannel is fashionable outside the lesbian bar. You slurp Oktoberfest ales every evening, and pumpkin spiced lattes every morning. You reach forRead More

Anna M. reviews Lady Knight by L-J Baker

October 4, 2012 by Danika Ellis

I picked up L-J Baker’s Lady Knight (published in 2007) at a used book store recently and was pleasantly surprised by its successful blend of fantasy and alt-historical realism. The book is sent in a medieval-esque period in which divine power is real and kingdoms stand at the brink of a new holy war. RiannonRead More

Art&Lies reviews Pennance by Clare Ashton

October 3, 2012 by Danika Ellis

Clare Ashton’s Pennance is set at the farthest reaches of southwest England, in the title’s eponymous village, which unfortunately turns out to be the most interesting feature of the book. We meet twenty-something Lucy in the midst of her breakdown over the death of her boyfriend, who we later find burned to death in aRead More
