2 years ago, I reviewed Down to the Bone by Mayra Lazara Dole with Rie, another book blogger. Recently, I was contacted by the author about reviewing the newly expanded, updated edition of the book published by Bella Books. Because it was a couple of years ago since I read it the first time, I wasn’t ableRead More
Danika reviews Silhouette of a Sparrow by Molly Beth Griffin
With a cover as strong as Silhouette of a Sparrow‘s, I immediately have high expectations for the story within. And although the cover gives me a bit of a creepy vibe that I don’t get from the book itself, the story definitely lives up to my expectations of quality. Silhouette of a Sparrow takes place in the 1920s,Read More
Danika reviews Born This Way: Real Stories of Growing Up Gay edited by Paul Vitagliano
For this book, I basically just have a list of pros and cons. I’ll start with the cons. When I got this book to review, my Women’s Studies major roommate, who had taken Queer Theory with me, groaned after looking at the cover/title. My partner, me, and my roommate all discussed being a little sickRead More
Danika reviews Frozen by Carla Tomaso
Well, that was… deeply weird. I mean, I expected Frozen to be weird. The premise is that Elizabeth is glad to be free of her narcissistic mother when the mother dies, but finds herself having to raise her cryogencially frozen and age-regressed mother. What I though that meant (and what Elizabeth originally thought that meant) was thatRead More
Danika reviews Blue Magic by A. M. Dellamonica
Blue Magic by A. M. Dellamonica is the sequel to Indigo Springs, which, in case you have forgotten, I loved. Indigo Springs was absolutely fascinating to me, and I really loved the slow emergence of Astrid’s back story and the explanation of vitagua (liquid magic). As soon as I finished it, I was eager to pick up the sequel,Read More
Danika reviews Indigo Springs by A.M. Dellamonica
I really loved this book! Indigo Springs is a Fantasy novel set in our world, but after magic has contaminated it. Magic is a powerful and poisonous force that causes people and plants to mutate, though it can also be channeled into objects that perform specific magic tasks. Astrid’s best friend Sahara has creates a cult aroundRead More
Danika reviews Megume and the Trees by Sarah Toshiko Hasu
I have so many Thoughts (questions, really) about this book, but 99% of them are spoilers. There are trigger warnings also within the spoiler text, so keep that in mind if its relevant. Megume and the Trees is a fairy-tale-like story about a fifteen-year-old girl who runs after a dog into the forest andRead More
Danika reviews “Good Girl” by Malinda Lo
“Good Girl” by Malinda Lo is a short story contained in the collection Diverse Energies edited by Tobias S. Buckell & Joe Monti. It’s a dystopian collection, and I can never resist dystopian stories. Add in that there’s a lesbian story by a known author, and I couldn’t resist! In dystopians, I feel like the worldRead More
Danika reviews First Spring Grass Fire by Rae Spoon
From about the first page of First Spring Grass Fire, I was already frustrated, for three reasons: 1) it is very well-written, 2) it is very short, and 3) it is, at the moment, Rae Spoon’s only book. I was dreading getting to the end of the book pretty much the moment I started it. I firstRead More
Danika reviews Haunted Hearths & Sapphic Shades: Lesbian Ghost Stories edited by Catherine Lundoff
This book was not what I was expecting. Which isn’t a fault of Haunted Hearths & Sapphic Shades, I don’t think, but it was surprising. I picked up Haunted Hearths expecting… ghost stories. You know, campfire, spooky, ghost stories! In fact, there aren’t very many stories in this collection that are very scary, or thatRead More
