Becoming is the story of Alison and Marilyn. Told from the point of view of Alison, we follow her life from the moment Marilyn reappears in it while wandering into their common past at university.

Giant Link Round Up

August 17, 2011 by Danika Ellis

Well, you may have noticed that the Lesbrary has been a little quieter than usual. I was moving and changing jobs and then promptly got sick, so it’s been a little hectic lately. I do have a huge amount of links to share with you, though, so here they are! About.com Lesbian Life posted Books forRead More

Fearless by Erin O’Reilly is a work of historical fiction about the brave members of the Auxiliary Transport Authority who ferried planes during World War II.

Mfred reviews Skin Beneath by Nairne Holtz

August 9, 2011 by Danika Ellis

I cannot adequately explain the joy, the incredible sense of pleasure, I derived from reading this book. Even as the book’s plot unraveled a bit at the end, I enjoyed every moment of reading Nairne Holtz’s Skin Beneath. The first paragraph: Sam unlocks the mailbox in the lobby of her building, takes out a singleRead More

Danika reviews Raven’s Mask by Winter Pennington

July 30, 2011 by Danika Ellis

Part of the fun of running this blog is experimenting with different books. I haven’t read a lot of genre books, so running the Lesbrary has given me a chance to try them out. Unfortunately, I think Raven’s Mask wasn’t the best choice for me. It’s the second in a series, and although it explains enoughRead More

Kristi reviews Firestorm by Radclyffe

July 28, 2011 by Danika Ellis

Mallory James is a cool-headed firefighter paramedic (aptly nicknamed Ice) who leads a band of smokejumpers six months out of the year in Montana. Training rookies in thirty days takes all her time and attention, but when Jac Russo shows up unexpectedly to fill a slot, Mallory finds herself fighting an attraction she hasn’t feltRead More

The World Unseen is set in South Africa in the 1950’s and relates the story of two women – Miriam and Amina – and the way their lives impact each others. Let me start this review by saying that I love this book. After a lot of trouble to get it from my library IRead More

Maryam reviews Ghosts of Winter by Rebecca S. Buck

July 25, 2011 by Danika Ellis

Full disclosure: I did not read anything about Ghosts of Winter before I downloaded it for review. I was coming down off a marathon of Japanese horror comics and the second season of The X-Files when Danika’s suggestion hit my inbox. Ghosts? In winter? Sign me up! Unfortunately for me, there are no actual ghostsRead More

Danika reviews Travels Through Love And Time by Christine Hall Volkoff

July 23, 2011 by Danika Ellis

I feel a little bit uncomfortable reviewing this book, because it reads like a first draft. I liked the concept: a look at three different loves, at three different times, in one woman’s life. Unfortunately, the writing felt clunky, and I never really got into the flow of the story because of it. One ofRead More
