Guest Lesbrarian Lindy Pratch reviews Carry the One by Carol Anshaw

July 28, 2012 by Danika Ellis

Five adults left a wedding reception in rural Wisconsin very late one night in 1983. Stoned, drunk or sleepy, none of them were in any shape for driving. Their car struck and killed a child and her death stayed with them for years. In Carry the One, Carol Anshaw explores the connections between human beings: siblings,Read More

Kristi reviews A Day at the Inn, A Night at the Palace and Other Stories is a collection of short works from Catherine Lundoff

July 26, 2012 by Danika Ellis

A Day at the Inn, A Night at the Palace and Other Stories is a collection of short works from Catherine Lundoff. These ten stories run the range of speculative fiction, from an intriguing “highwayman” in “Regency Masquerade” to the Fae choice of love in “A Scent of Roses” to fighting for an Egyptian artifactRead More

Casey reviews The Price of Salt by Patricia Highsmith

July 20, 2012 by Danika Ellis

I read Patricia Highsmith’s 1952 novel The Price of Salt soon after finishing Ann Bannon’s lesbian pulp novel Odd Girl Out (1957), so I was understandably feeling jaded and a bit guarded.  Bannon’s novel, for those of you who haven’t read it, ends quite depressingly when one of the two lovers, Beth, decides that lesbianismRead More

Guest Post by Amy Gaertner: A Literary Love of Women

July 18, 2012 by Danika Ellis

I love women. That’s… not just a statement about my dating preferences. I love watching women, hearing women, reading about women; as a writer, I love writing about women. (And, okay: I love men, too. Especially when they’re interacting with women!) I hate to see female characters all painted with the same brush, or treatedRead More

Anna K. reviews Times Two by Kristen Henderson and Sarah Kate Ellis

July 12, 2012 by Danika Ellis

  Sarah Kate Ellis is the vice president of marketing at Real Simple magazine, and Kristen Henderson is the bassist and a founding member of the band Antigone Rising. And they’re a lesbian couple who both became pregnant via the same donor on the same day. Terrible plan, you think? Maybe…if it had been theRead More

Mfred Reviews Fire Logic by Laurie J Marks.

July 11, 2012 by Danika Ellis

A friend recommended Fire Logic to me, partly because I am a long-time fantasy novel enthusiast, but also with the specific note that it is one of those “invisibly queer” books. By invisible, I do not mean closeted, repressed, or filled with subtext– instead, Fire Logic presents a world where queer characters are never explained;Read More

Allysa reviews Nevermore by Nell Stark and Trinity Tam

July 9, 2012 by Danika Ellis

Nevermore by Nell Stark and Trinity Tam is the sequel to their previous vampire-and-shifter novel, everafter. When we last saw our protagonists, Valentine and Alexa, they had begun adjusting to life together as a vampire and a were-panther, and had taken down the vampire that forcibly turned Valentine. At the beginning of nevermore, Valentine andRead More

Anna M. reviews Switch by Q. Kelly

July 8, 2012 by Danika Ellis

I read and enjoyed Q. Kelly’s novel Strange Bedfellows, and was glad to have the opportunity to read her latest book, Switch. Kelly says on her website that most of her ideas are adapted from real events, and this book addresses the repercussions in the lives of two women when it is discovered that theyRead More
