A Lake of Feathers and Moonbeams is a queer Swan Lake retelling, and honestly, it just had to live up to that premise to win me over. I may not be incredibly familiar with the ballet, but I grew up watching Swan Princess constantly. Besides, queer fairy tale(-esque) retellings are one of my favourite thingsRead More
Tierney reviews Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli
Leah Burke is spending her last year of high school trying to figure out where she fits in, and often feeling awkward about the fact that she marches to the beat of her own drum. She tells the story from her perspective in Leah on the Offbeat, Becky Albertalli’s not-quite-sequel to Simon vs. The HomoRead More
Alexa reviews The Unbinding of Mary Reade by Miriam McNamara
My rating: 3.5 stars I’ve been obsessed with Mary Read ever since I played AC: Black Flag, and while nobody can live up to that interpretation of Mary for me, I was really excited to read a book about her and see a different take. I found that the title matches the book beautifully, becauseRead More
Julie Thompson reviews The Unbinding of Mary Reade by Miriam McNamara
My earliest memories of pirates include Muppet Treasure Island, The Goonies, and the treasure chest at the dentist’s office. Female swashbucklers, however, did not enter my consciousness until much, much later. I lived vicariously through sanitized depictions of redeemable and charming male anti-heroes. If you want more than tired tales of Black Beard or evenRead More
Alexa reviews Into the Mystic Volume 3 by NineStar Press
Her ghost had once told Clotho that no proper ghost story has a happy ending, because ghosts don’t end. It’s no secret that I have a soft spot for fantasy, paranormal and fairytales, so of course I had to pick up an anthology that has nine F/F stories with paranormal elements. While the stories hadRead More
Danika reviews Drum Roll, Please by Lisa Jenn Bigelow
Starting From Here by Lisa Jenn Bigelow is one of my favourite YA books, so of course when I heard that she had a bisexual middle grade book coming out, I was eager to pick it up. Drum, Roll Please definitely lived up to those expectations. Melly is 13, and the day before she was dropped offRead More
Genevra Littlejohn reviews Inkmistress by Audrey Coulthurst
Inkmistress is Audrey Coulthurst’s second novel, and the first of her works that I have personally read. It’s the story of a young demigod hermit, daughter of a human and a wind god, whose teacher has raised her separate from human beings in an effort to protect her from them. Asra is an herbalist whoRead More
Danika reviews The Scorpion Rules by Erin Bow
If you’ve been looking for the queer Hunger Games (or, at least, queer Mockingjay), this is the book for you. Do you want to read about crushing oppression and the horrors of war, but with a bisexual protagonist? The Scorpion Rules is the book for you! This was a bad choice for a readathon. I should have seenRead More
Whitney D.R. reviews Royally Yours by Everly James
I haven’t read much, if any, “secret royalty” romance. I happened upon Royally Yours via social media and fell in love with the cover. And I was even more pleasantly surprised that the black woman on the cover was the princess. I was eager to dive into this story. Royally Yours is a good, cheesyRead More
Danika reviews My Lady’s Choosing: An Interactive Romance Novel by Kitty Curran and Larissa Zageris
Yes, this is a choose your own adventure romance novel! I don’t read a lot of romance, but I couldn’t resist this premise, at least once I heard that there was a path where you could turn your back on the suitors and run off with a lady instead! This was, above all, super fun.Read More
