“4 Stories Down, 4 Stories Up” by Sara Elizabeth is a series of vignettes following the budding romance between two high school girls. Barely five pages long, it is brief, lovely, and tantalizingly well written. As the story follows the ups and downs of the couple’s relationship, the first person writing is straightforward and theRead More

Danika reviews Missed Her by Ivan E. Coyote
Ivan E. Coyote is one of my very favourite queer writers. When giving recommendations for les/bi/etc books, Sarah Waters and Ivan E. Coyote are at the top of the list (though their styles are pretty different). Ivan is often described as a “kitchen table storyteller,” and it’s true. Their stories read as if one ofRead More

The Lesbrary is looking for more Lesbrarians!
You may have noticed that the Lesbrary hasn’t updated in a little while. At the moment, it’s just me (Danika) running the place, and to tell the truth, sometimes going to school and going to work get in the way. I’d the like the Lesbrary to be more active and have more contributors, though, soRead More

She’s left at the mercy of her stepmother, forced to clean and lookRead More

Danika reviews Dear John, I Love Jane edited by Candace Walsh and Laura Andre
I love this book. I just want to say that straight off the bat. In any minority (of power) group, telling our own stories is crucial, especially when they’re stories that defy the narrative that has traditionally been put forth about that group. The foreword of Dear John, I Love Jane is written by theRead More
