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

Laura reviews “Thicker Than Blood” by Avery Vanderlyle
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
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
Alyssa reviews Fairy Tales for Princesses Who Love Dames by Rene von Bonaparte
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
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
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
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
