June 25, 2022 by Lesbrarians

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link For Pride this month, I’m going to treat myself a little bit—I would like to talk about Gideon the Ninth and Harrow the Ninth, the first half of the Locked Tomb series by Tamsyn Muir (the half that’s been released, at time of writing).

Nat reviews Stud Like Her by Fiona Zedde

May 31, 2022 by Lesbrarians

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I actually read Stud Like Her for the first time as soon as it came out, and thought about reviewing it then, but then I thought *everyone* was going to be reviewing it because there are so few books about studs loving other studs. As I was rereadingRead More

Nat reviews D’Vaughn and Kris Plan a Wedding by Chencia C. Higgins

March 4, 2022 by Lesbrarians

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link One of my favorite romance tropes is the fake relationship – I just can’t resist it. So there was little doubt that watching D’Vaughn and Kris plan a fake wedding would be absolutely delightful.  The story is centered around a reality show called Instant I Do and toldRead More

The Life and Times of Butch Dykes by Eloisa Aquino

September 13, 2020 by Danika Ellis

The Life and Times of Butch Dykes was originally a series of zines, now collected in a highly illustrated hardcover.

Anna Marie reviews Stone Butch Blues

July 25, 2019 by Danika Ellis

Ever since I learnt about Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg I’ve wanted to read it, but I knew it would be an intense book to read with quite a lot of violence in it, so I waited till I thought I might be slightly more ready for it. The time to read it arrived since, lastRead More

Mary Springer reviews Desperate Times by Hildred Billing

June 4, 2019 by Danika Ellis

This review contains spoilers. I will state when I am about to go into them, so if you want to read the first few paragraphs to get a general gist of the book, you can do so safely. Romances between two butch lesbians are hard to come by, so when I found this title IRead More

Mars Reviews “My Mother Says Drums Are For Boys: True Stories for Gender Rebels” by Rae Theodore

September 6, 2018 by Danika Ellis

In this short autobiographical essay and poetry collection, Rae Theodore offers a frank and panoramic perspective on growing up butch. The titular term “gender rebel” is entirely accurate here as Theodore recalls a childhood and young adulthood where classic femininity chafed. All the outer accoutrements of fashion and stature were as complicated to her asRead More
