Okay, so I got these a while back in that giant book sale I was telling you about, but I’m still super excited about them. Actually, these are the books I’m most excited about reading. To start off with, there’s Piece of my Heart: A Lesbian of Colour Anthology. I’m always on the lookout forRead More
Danika reviews Fifty Gay and Lesbian Books Everybody Must Read edited by Richard Canning
I’m going to get my major problem with this book out of the way right at the beginning. I didn’t think it would be a perfectly even split between gay and lesbian books (and don’t get me started on those being the only categories), but I wasn’t expecting it be so heavily weighted on oneRead More
Lesbian Canon?
For the last couple days I’ve been thinking about the concept of a lesbian canon. I mean, I know that canons in general are problematic, but I like the idea of trying to identify the books that really steered lesbian writing. I think the Wikipedia entry does a pretty good job, but I don’t recognizeRead More
Irrelevant post
This is a little irrelevant, but I’ve been saying that I want to start an active lesbrary tumblr. I haven’t started it yet (though I have gathered together a lot of future material). What I have started, however, is a personal tumblr: Danika the Lesbrarian. It has posts of books, lesbians, and a lot ofRead More
Lesbrary Links: Communities
I’ve fallen woefully behind in reviewing these different lesbrary resources, so I’ve decided to review a bunch at once: the category that I think is probably the most useful in the whole list. Category: Communities Title(s): Amazon’s Lesbian Fiction Community, Bella and Spinsters Publishers Forum, Lesbian Fiction Forum, LesFic_Unbound Yahoo Group, Virtual Living Room: ForRead More

The Golden Crown Literary Society, a group dedicated to recognizing lesbian literature, has just released the list of winners for their 2010 GCLS awards. Here they are:
Lesbrary Sneak Peek: Nonfiction
Lesbian nonfiction! Now, I’m going to be honest, the first book on that stack I only picked up because I got it for free. I am not a parent. It will be interesting, though, to hear about it from the other side. I’ve heard so many horrible stories about parents’ reactions to coming out (IRead More
Lesbian Mysteries
Lambda Literary has a new post rounding up some lesbian mysteries for beach reading. I haven’t read any lesbian mysteries yet, but I have a growing pile I’m waiting to try, so I’d love to hear your recommendations. Do you read lesbian mysteries? What are some of your favorites? Do you have any beach readsRead More
Lesbrary Sneak Peek: Catching Up
Okay, I’m way behind in the new lesbian books I have acquired since last Lesbrary Sneak Peek. All the stacks on the shelf are the lesbian books I’ve gotten since then: The books behind them are my girlfriend’s. So, here’s the first stack, and I’ll try to tackle the next one tomorrow. One review ofRead More
New York Times article on Inseparable by Emma Donoghue
The New York Times has a review of Emma Donoghue’s book on “desire between women”: Inseparable. The article is here. I’ve been wanting to read Inseparable for a while now, partly because it has to do with lesbian in fiction, but also because I really liked the book that I read by Emma Donoghue, KissingRead More
