I’ve been hearing great things about Hijab Butch Blues since it was published, so I’m very glad my book club chose it and I had an excuse to finally read it. Now, I’m here to join that chorus of positive reviews. This is a thought-provoking and readable memoir that follows the author from feeling outRead More
A Steamy Friends-to-Lovers Beach Read: My Best Friend’s Honeymoon by Meryl Wilsner Review
This summer, I really fell in love with reading by the water. I did some beach reading, but mostly, I just packed a bottle of water and a snack, walked myself down to the waterway, found a bench, and cracked open a book. It’s so peaceful. And between the cover and setting of My BestRead More
Living Your Queer Adolescence at 35 Years Old: Every Step She Takes by Alison Cochrun Review
I liked Alison Cochrun’s Here We Go Again is one of my favourite romance novels, so I was excited to pick up her newest. This one has a very romcom premise: when Sadie thinks the plane she is on is about to crash, she confesses to her seatmate that she thinks she’s a lesbian. MalRead More

A Steamy Sapphic Vampire/Selkie Romantasy: Blood on the Tide by Katee Robert Review
Last year, I read the first book in this series, Hunt On Dark Waters. It’s a romantasy with a bisexual witch main character named Evelyn and a telekinetic guy love interest (Bowen). While the writing felt a bit clunky to me, I still had a fun time reading it, and I was especially intrigued byRead More
A Sincere Satire — Spent: A Comic Novel by Alison Bechdel Review
Fun Home is one of my all-time favourite books, but I haven’t enjoyed Alison Bechdel’s subsequent memoirs as much, and I’ve only read bits and pieces of Dykes to Watch Out For. So I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked up her newest graphic novel, Spent. It stars a graphic memoirist named AlisonRead More
A Two-Spirit Journey by Ma-Nee Chacaby with Mary Louisa Plummer Review
A Two-Spirit Journey: The Autobiography of a Lesbian Ojibwa-Cree Elder by Ma-Nee Chacaby with Mary Louisa Plummer was this year’s winner of Canada Reads, and if you’re not Canadian, I can tell you that’s a big deal. It’s a TV/radio program where five “personalities” (celebrities of some kind) debate which book the country should beRead More
