As the first out lesbian primetime anchor, Rachel Maddow has always been a pleasure to watch. She’s also a pleasure to read. Engaging and full of personality, the voice and tone of her recent release, Drift, will sound very familiar to fans of The Rachel Maddow Show. (Literally. As in, I could hear the author’sRead More

Mfred reviews Brazen Femme: Queering Femininity edited by Rose and Camilleri
I felt somewhat disconnected from the essays in Brazen Femme. Many, especially in the beginning, were written in that stream-of-consciousness, grammarless, spoken-poetry-confession style which does nothing but irritate me. I also do not respond to “I am Woman! I am Femme!” type essays that revel in celebrating something without taking it apart a bit first.Read More
Alyssa reviews The Lion’s Circle by Amelia Ellis
The Lion’s Circle, the first in the Nea Fox series by Amelia Ellis, is a detective novel, set in England, about a private investigator who faces down a dangerous, misogynistic cult with the help of various random players who join her in the action.

Allysse reviews Patience & Sarah by Isabel Miller

Maryam reviews Zapocalypse: The Midnight Special by D. Dye
I feel as though Lesbian Zombie Literature is the new genre to look out for. We seem to have gotten quite a few books like this to review lately! D. Dye’s Zapocalypse: The Midnight Special appealed to me the most because it is set “in some hick-ass town deep in the swamps of southern Georgia”. Sounds about twoRead More
Jasper reviews Beyond Binary by
Read Beyond Binary. It fails, as an anthology, to go very far beyond male/female straight/gay conceptions of gender identity and sexual orientation. It fails to showcase worlds and characters that universally accept identities and orientations that lie beyond expected binary norms. Some of its stories are weak and ambiguous; some end with characters in situationsRead More
