Prairie Ostrich is the story of Egg, an eight-year-old Japanese girl growing up in Alberta, Canada in the 1970s. Her brother recently died, and her family is reeling from the death. Her father stays in the ostrich barn. Her mother drinks. And her sister, Kathy, tries to take on the role of looking after Egg.Read More
Danika reviews The Whip by Karen Kondazian
I will admit, I was a little wary of picking this one up. It has a very similar premise to The Rebellion of Miss Lucy Ann Lobdell by William Klaber, and I felt really conflicted about that book. (Both are fictionalized versions of the real lives of women who lived as men in the 1800s in America.)Read More
Danika reviews Living as a Lesbian by Cheryl Clarke
Living as a Lesbian is a poetry collection that was first published in 1986, and has been recently republished with notes, reviews, a preface and introduction. I feel like there are several ways to read this book. It comes with notes at the end that reference certain poems, so you can flip back andRead More
Danika reviews Sisterhood by Julie R. Enszer
Poetry is usually pretty hit or miss for me. There are definitely poets that I am huge fans of, but I usually get impatient with more abstract, surreal poetry. So I went into reading Sisterhood with some trepidation. Luckily, I was completely wrong to be worried. This is a beautiful collection, with poems that made me stopRead More
Danika reviews The Big Bang Symphony by Lucy Jane Bledsoe
This was the third book I read in December that Queer Books Please categorized as part of the “Lesbians In Cold Places” genre, and it definitely fits there! The Big Bang Symphony is set in Antarctica, and the incredibly cold climate can be felt on every page. Only one of the three protagonists is a lesbian,Read More
Danika reviews 1222 by Anne Holt
When I first saw this book mentioned on Queer Books Please’s list Lesbians In Cold Places: A New Genre, I was already super enthusiastic about the list itself. I like seasonal reads (hence my October binge on horror), and combine that with lesbian main characters? Sold! Then I read the description of 1222 and found that itRead More
Danika reviews Fresh Tracks by Georgia Beers
At the end of November, when I was planning the books I’d like to pick up in December, I took a look at my shelves to see if there were any holiday or wintery books I hadn’t read yet, and Fresh Tracks immediately jumped out at me, so I knew it was a must-read for theRead More
Danika reviews Fist of the Spider Woman edited by Amber Dawn
This book freaked me out. Again, it was one I meant to read in October for my Halloween-y reads, but my inter-library loan didn’t come in until late November. It’s a bit of a shame, because it would have made for a fantastic Halloween read. It’s a short story collection (with a few poems)Read More
Danika reviews Dark Angels: Lesbian Vampire Erotica edited by Pam Keesey
This was another (in addition to The Haunting of Hill House) book I intended to read in October, but didn’t come in to the library for me until November, so I’m extending my Halloween reads! When I went to pick it up, I was surprised to see that it was billed as erotica: I didn’tRead More
Danika reviews The Haunting Of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
I thought I would do something a little differently today and do a video review! I’ve started a booktube (book-themed youtube) channel, but this is the first lesbian book review I’ve posted. Let me know what you think, and whether you’d like to see more or less of video reviews at the Lesbrary.
