I’m a Wild Seed is a short graphic memoir exploring the author’s exploration of her identity. It’s about how her “coming into queerness,” but it’s also about her relationship to her racial identity and decolonizing gender and sexuality. Because this is so short, it often reminded me more of an in-depth essay than a graphic memoir–that’sRead More
Danika reviews How Do We Relationship? Volumes 1 & 2 by Tamifull
Although I’m far from an expert, I’ve really been enjoying yuri manga lately, especially lesbian manga. (Check out my post: Lesbian Manga and Yuri Manga: What’s the Difference and Where Should You Start?) Although I enjoyed books like Girl Friends, I’d rather read about adult characters–hopefully ones that use words like lesbian, bisexual, or queer toRead More
Danika reviews Butter Honey Pig Bread by Francesca Ekwuyasi
This was such an impressive book that I have been intimidated to write about it! It was longlisted for the Giller Prize, and it was on Canada Reads! (If you’re not Canadian: this is a big deal.) Trigger warnings for suicide and suicide ideation, miscarriage and child death, as well as rape and child sexualRead More
Danika reviews Space Battle Lunchtime Volume 3 by Natalie Riess
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I adored the first two volumes of Space Battle Lunchtime. It’s an all-ages graphic novel of a cooking competition(!) in space(!!) with a cute F/F romance (!!!) What more could you want? The first two volumes felt like two halves of a whole story. It finished with aRead More

Danika reviews Milk Fed by Melissa Broder
There are some books–very rarely–that I read and form such a personal attachment to that I don’t want to share them with the world. This is one of them. I picked it up based on the fact that it was queer and had a blurb from Carmen Maria Machado; that was about all I knewRead More
Danika reviews A Dowry of Blood by S.T. Gibson
You liked me best when I was like an oil painting; perfectly arranged and silent. A Dowry of Blood is a queer polyamorous reimagining of Dracula’s brides. If you, like me, are already intrigued, I recommend reading this without knowing much more about it, as long as you are aware that it depicts unhealthy andRead More
Danika reviews Love is an Ex-Country by Randa Jarrar
I can’t resist a book with a Carmen Maria Machado blurb, so I picked this up knowing very little about it. In theory, this is about Randa Jarrar’s road trip across the U.S., inspired by Tahia Carioca’s cross-country road trip. It took place in 2016 as a way to re-engage with her country, trying toRead More

Unfortunately, she doesn’t have that optionRead More
