I was expecting I’ll Call It Like I See It to be a memoir, but it’s actually a collection of essays (though most of them are autobiographical). The collection reads almost like a compilation of a local newspaper article, or a personal blog–which makes sense, because the author does have a blog by the sameRead More
Sponsored Review: Danika reviews Hot Line by Alison Grey
Before reading Hot Line, I hadn’t looked into the premise of the book. I just knew it was an erotic novella. From the first page, I could guess that the premise would be different from most romance novels/erotica stories I’ve read. (Which is great, because the thing I like least about romance/erotica novels is theRead More
Danika reviews The Collection edited by Tom Leger and Riley Macleod
When I first heard about The Collection: Short Fiction from the Transgender Vanguard, I thought it sounded amazing, but I didn’t think it would be relevant to the Lesbrary. Luckily, I was completely wrong! There are about 9 stories that I consider relevant to the Lesbrary (either bisexual or lesbian women, or genderqueer/genderless/agender stories). That’sRead More
Danika reviews the Queer issue of Poetry Is Dead
I have troubles reviewing poetry collections because I never really feel qualified. And some of the poetry included in Poetry Is Dead (Issues 2, Volume 3) didn’t help with that: one is entitled “Perfect Lovers (Gay Porn Story Removed (O’s Remain)), which is just two pages of the letter o with spaces between them. Another,Read More
Danika reviews The Education of Queenie McBride by Lyndsey D’Arcangelo
When I finished the prequel to this book, The Trouble with Emily Dickinson, I said I was excited to read the sequel, because Queenie kind of steals the show in the first book and gets to be the star in this one. Predictably, I liked Queenie more as a main character than JJ. She isRead More
Danika reviews Charm School Book One: Magical Witch Girl Bunny by Elizabeth Watasin
I’m very glad this book exists. It is adorable. It takes place in Little Salem, a magical place filled with monsters, faeries, and supernatural beings of all kinds. Bunny is a cute witch with a badass, butch, biker, vampire girlfriend, Dean. Their relationship is really sweet, and Dean is the quintessential swoonworthy bad boy butch.Read More
Danika reviews The Trouble with Emily Dickinson by Lyndsey D’Arcangelo
The Trouble with Emily Dickinson is a cute lesbian teen book with a few notable features. One is that the main character, JJ, has a lesbian best friend: Queenie. They are not into each other. They’re just super close. The other is that JJ’s love interest? Straight. Or is she?! The point of view switches betweenRead More
Danika reviews Starting From Here by Lisa Jenn Bigelow
The last time I kissed Rachel Greenstein we lay in the bed of Scarlett, my Ford pickup, watching the sun sink beyond West Lake. From this very first sentence, you can already tell this is not going to start on a happy note. Starting From Here follows Colby during a time of crisis in her life. HerRead More
Danika reviews The Narrows by m. craig
The Narrows is a Fantasy novel, but it is not the typical medieval Europe-based Fantasy. It’s what one reviewer called a “down-to-earth fantasy”. The Narrows opens with a barista making espressos using a small dragon. It’s an industrialized Fantasy world, and takes place mostly in the Bicycle Narrows, a little hipster side street in the city, taken overRead More
Danika reviews Hymnal for Dirty Girls by Rebekah Matthews
This a slim (only 40 pages) collection of 6 short stories, making it a little bit hard for me to know how to review thoroughly. From the first couple sentences, I hooked on Matthews’s style. (From “Bedroom”: “Someone keeps leaving used condoms outside my apartment. When I complain about it, you say maybe it’s justRead More
