If you follow other les/bi/etc book sites, or have been skimming the link round ups at the Lesbrary, you may have already heard of The Miseducation of Cameron Post. In fact, you may have already heard about it from a mainstream source, because Cam Post is published by a large publishing company (HarperCollins), and it’s beenRead More
Danika reviews Drawing Love by Juli Jousan
Drawing Love by Juli Jousan treads a fine line. It could easily seem overwrought or juvenile. Drawing Love alternates between the present and a description of the main character, Mo, having a dramatic high school relationship. By relating that in flash backs, and showing that Mo has moved on and grown up since then, it avoids being completelyRead More
Danika reviews Are You My Mother? by Alison Bechdel
I’m going to be honest, I have no idea how to review this book. I loved Bechdel’s first comic memoir, Fun Home, so I was very excited to pick up Are You My Mother? And it definitely does have some of the best elements from Fun Home: the writing is amazing, the art is beautiful, and the entire bookRead More
Danika reviews The Difference Between You and Me by Madeleine George
I have a soft spot for lesbian teen fiction. Mostly because I feel like it’s a really important niche. It’s when many people first start coming out or questioning their sexuality, and it is really reassuring to be able to see a representation of yourself in fiction, especially one that reassures you that it canRead More
Danika reviews Lesbian Pulp Fiction edited by Katherine V. Forrest
I didn’t know what to expect from this book. I requested it from Cleis press after being blown away by their title Inseparable: Desire Between Women in Literature by Emma Donoghue, and I hoped this one would be similar, but focused on lesbian pulp. Actually, it’s a collection of excerpts from lesbian pulp books from 1950-1965,Read More
Danika reviews Miss Timmins’ School for Girls by Nayana Currimbhoy
When I started the 24 Hour Readathon, I was partway through Miss Timmins’ School for Girls and intended to put it aside to read something short or easier, but I couldn’t put it aside. It’s a novel centred on a very specific, isolated time and space, which is one of those oddly specific story styles that IRead More
Danika reviews Say Please: Lesbian BDSM Erotica edited by Sinclair Sexsmith
I had high hopes for this collection, and I am very happy to say that it lived up to them! In any anthology, the thing I’m most looking for is consistent quality of writing. Every collection will have some I like more and some I like less, but that should be because of personal taste,Read More
Danika reviews The Dirt Chronicles by Kristyn Dunnion
The Dirt Chronicles definitely lives up to its title. It is a collection of short stories that tell the story of homeless queer kids in Toronto, and y0u can practically smell the exhaust come off the page. The stories begin as separate and free-standing, but characters begin to repeat, and by the end, all ofRead More
Danika reviews The Dark Wife by Sarah Diemer
I’ve seen The Dark Wife reviewed and recommended all over the place, and I’ve been following the author’s blogs for a while, so I have to admit that I was a bit worried about how I would actually like it. Luckily, it doesn’t disappoint. Honestly, you’ve probably heard this all before: The Dark Wife is a teenRead More
Danika reviewed Jukebox by Gina Noelle Daggett
I was a bit conflicted about this book while reading it. It’s been reviewed here twice before, and they didn’t inspire a lot of enthusiasm. I ended up liking it, but I feel like it could have been a lot better. I really got off on the wrong foot with Jukebox in the prologue. It hasRead More
