What an interesting book. A Very Civil Wedding follows the announcement that the Princess of Wales has gotten engaged… to her girlfriend. (This is set in 2014.) Following this is the media frenzy, the backlash, and the planning involved. The book is structured in all kinds of different snippets, arranged chronologically. These includes descriptions of a meetingRead More
Sponsored Review: Danika reviews the Courage of Outliers by Elizabeth Samit
The Courage of Outliers by Elizabeth Samit is a collection of ten mystery short stories, all with some gay or lesbian content, usually with a lesbian protagonist. I don’t read a lot of mysteries: I tend to be terrible at spotting clues, and usually I end up not only surprised but confused by the bigRead More
Danika reviews The Gilda Stories by Jewelle Gomez
This October I decided that I wanted to devote some time to Halloween reads. My top pick was a lesbian vampire classic (no, not that one), The Gilda Stories. It’s not the first lesbian vampire book I’ve read, but this one stands out for being neither horror nor erotica. It follows a vampire from just beforeRead More
Sponsored Review: Danika reviews Charity by Paulette Callen
Charity is a novel that mixes several genres. It is definitely historical fiction, set in the late 19th century in a small town in America, and it is also sort of a lesbian romance novel, but there’s definitely the element of a mystery as well. At the same time, it’s an exploration of the townRead More
Danika reviews The Red Tree by Caitlin R. Kiernan
For October, in honor of Halloween, I’ve been picking up some appropriate books. This one I was especially excited about, because there aren’t a lot of lesbian horror books. Besides, the premise really appealed to me. Here, I’ll just paste part of the the blurb. Sarah Crowe left Atlanta, and the remnants of a tumultuousRead More
Danika reviews Blue Is the Warmest Color by Julie Maroh
Honestly, after Casey’s review of this title, I feel like my whole review could just be “I agree!” But that would be a bit of a cheat. Besides, I did read the English translation, so we do have that difference. Blue Is the Warmest Color is a graphic novel structured so that Emma is readingRead More
Danika reviews Love In the Time of Global Warming by Francesca Lia Block
Love In the Time of Global Warming by Francesca Lia Block is a post-apocalyptic Fantasy teen re-telling of The Odyssey. Yes, it has a lot going on. The book is set decades in the future, but for the most part it seems like it could be current day. The main character, Penelope, has survived (so far)Read More
Danika reviews Immodest Acts: The Life of a Lesbian Nun in Renaissance Italy by Judith C. Brown
Between being an English major (recently graduated!) and a book blogger, it has been years now since I’ve been able to just pick a book to read because I was in the mood for it. I always had a stack of school books and review books I had to get through first. Finally, IRead More
Danika reviews The Magistrate (Book 1 of the Prisonworld Trilogy) by Keira Michelle Telford
When I read the blurb for The Magistrate, I was instantly intrigued. Poverty is rife in twenty-fourth century London, England. Crime rates are at an all-time high, and living conditions for many are bleak. Capital punishment and public hangings have been reinstated, and Magistrates, in their new role, are tasked with patrolling the streets to enforce arrestRead More
Danika reviews If You Could Be Mine by Sara Farizan
I was a little worried to start this book, actually. If You Could Be Mine is a book about two teenage girls in love in Iran. Homosexuality is illegal, but sex changes are legal and even partially funded by the government. The questions is, how far will Sahar go to be able to stay with Nasrin,Read More
