When I picked up Queer: A Graphic History, I was expecting a pretty short, easy read. Queer history! In a graphic format! I was surprised, then, to realize that this is not just queer history as in LGBTQ history, but queer as in queer theory, which is a whole different ball game. I took queer theory inRead More
Sponsored Review: Danika reviews The Lady’s Bride by M. A. Jodat-Danbrani
The Lady’s Bride is a fantasy novella that follows an unnamed woman on her quest to challenge the Lady: a woman with incredible magical powers, who tore their world apart many years ago. If she can best the Lady, then she take on the Lady’s abilities and hopefully change the world for the better. I foundRead More
Danika reviews Sister Mine by Nalo Hopkinson
It’s hard to describe a book like Sister Mine. It would probably suffice to say it is just as surreal as the cover would suggest, but I’ll make an attempt anyways. Makeda is a twin–originally conjoined twins–and is trying to strike out on her own. She and her sister have always been very close, but MakedaRead More
Danika reviews Everfair by Nisi Shawl
It’s rare for me to pick up a book and be surprised to see it has queer representation. That’s part of being so immersed in the LGBTQ book internet: I’ve usually heard about the representation before picking it up. I picked Everfair because I was intrigued by the premise: a steampunk alternate history of the BelgianRead More
Sponsored Review: Danika reviews The Buddha of Lightning Peak by Yudron Wangmo
Within a few chapters of starting The Buddha of Lightning Peak, I thought I understood where the story was going: Plucky teenager takes on corporation to save the environment! Having been environmentally-focused as a teenager, this was a plot that would have been just fine by me. By the midway point of the book, however, itRead More
Danika reviews Goldie Vance Vol. 1 by Hope Larson (Author) and Brittney Williams (illustrator)
Aahh, it’s been a long time since I’ve read a book with surprise queer content. It’s such a great surprise. Goldie Vance is an all-ages comic that has been described as Lumberjanes meets Nancy Drew, which I think is a pretty solid assessment. It also gave me hints of Veronia Mars, but that may justRead More
Danika reviews The One Hundred Nights of Hero by Isabel Greenberg
I have to start this with my Goodreads status update from 5 pages in: I literally cannot handle how much I like this book. I can’t get through a page without cackling or exclaiming. The art! The narration! The surreal worldbuilding! The f/f couple in the middle of it!!! The feminism! The cleverness! Like, IRead More
Danika reviews Ice Massacre by Tiana Warner
Why did no one tell me about this book earlier?? Honestly, this should be much more well known. Ice Massacre is about Meela, and 18-year-old girl who has been trained to fight killer mermaids. She’s needed to defend her island, but she has qualms about being sent out to massacre the “sea demons”: she befriended oneRead More
Danika reviews Of Fire and Stars by Audrey Coulthurst
I haven’t fallen so head over heels for a book in years. Here’s the premise: a YA fantasy book where two princesses fall in love. I mean, there’s a lot more to it. There’s court politics and betrayal and suppressed magic and warring religious factions, but that’s the hook that got to me, and IRead More
Danika reviews Juliet Takes a Breath by Gabby Rivera
I don’t usually buy new releases. I acquire so many books that I tend to stick to used books and the library for new acquisitions. But when the reviews for Juliet Takes a Breath began to pour in, I couldn’t resist! I bought it brand new and moved it to the corner of my dresser, readyRead More
