Maggie reviews Things Hoped For by Chencia C. Higgins
I picked up Things Hoped For at the beginning of the year, out of a list of f/f romance coming out this year, I believe. Or maybe Black romance authors? Perhaps Black LGBT authors.

Carolina reviews The Celluloid Closet by Vito Russo
I’ve always felt drawn to queer history; there is a certain comfort in seeing parts of you echoed throughout history, reminders that we have always existed.

A lesbian fantasy with intrigue, murder, spymasters, and royal obligations? I’m in from the word go.

But it was sincerely worth the wait. I think fantasy as aRead More
