Ivan E. Coyote is one of my favourite queer authors, you should definitely check hir books out. Ivan just wrote a really cool article about the queer generation gap, and it’s not about how terrible this new generation is! Quite the opposite, really. It’s at Xtra! here. Have you read any of Ivan E. Coyote’sRead More
Lesbrary Sneak Peek: Nonfiction
Okay, so yesterday I went to this incredible book sale. People donate their books (it all benefits children’s literacy) and then they are sold for $1 for a mass market, $2 for a trade, and $3 for a hardcover. People camp out in the line, you have to get there at least an hour beforeRead More
Danika reviews Crocodile Soup by Julia Darling
The blurbs and back cover of this book, I think, completely misrepresent its tone. The back cover seems to imply zany fun times, but though Crocodile Soup is written with humor, I wouldn’t really call it chipper. The main character, Gert, is a lesbian and the present time plot of the story is mostly aboutRead More
Saints and Sinners Literary Festival
Live anywhere near New Orleans? Like GLBT fiction? Then I am jealous, because I just heard about the Saints and Sinners Literary Festival happening there May 13-16. It has readings and workshops and all sorts of really cool things. I tell you, the more I start poking around, the more I realize what a big,Read More
Mslexia Interview with Sarah Waters
Mslexia has a great, if short, interview with my favorite author, Sarah Waters, here. She seems to usually dislike writing, much like another one of my (non-lesbian) favorite authors, Douglas Adams. He’d take as many baths in a day as he could to procrastinate. Well, I’m glad some of these authors slog through it forRead More
Lesbrary Sneak Peek: More New Arrivals!
I’m sorry that I haven’t been updating as much this week. I’m taking some pretty intense courses for the next month and a half (Economics?!), so I’ll probably only be posting once or twice a week. Please send in some guest reviews if you’d like to see the Lesbrary update more! I have gotten aRead More
Lesbrary Review: The Whole Lesbian Sex Book by Felice Newman
Now this is a sex book! I read the second edition of The Whole Lesbian Sex Book: A Passionate Guide For All of Us (from my public library! Though now I’m going to buy it for myself). When it says “whole”, it really means whole. The Whole Lesbian Sex Book includes information on how menopauseRead More

Lesbrary Sneak Peek: More books I got in the mail!
I got a box of books in the mail this week that I’m very excited about. (Thanks Bookmooch!) This is one of those really specific titles that I always find fascinating. In its defense, this isn’t actually all about lesbian hair (though you probably could write a book about it). It’s a humour book thatRead More
StarCrossed Productions closes
The one-stop online lesbian bookstore has closed. Behind the cut is Kathy Smith’s explanation. Sigh, it seems like these resources disappear as fast as I can find them. Did you use the SCP website? What did you think of it? How do you feel about it closing?
