Okay, so it may be a little late to pick this up for Halloween, but still! I’ll admit, I picked up this book entirely because of Rie (Friend of Dorothy Wilde)’s review, so you should probably check that out. I’m going to go with the negatives first, in a convenient bulleted list There definitely isRead More
Danika reviews 18th & Castro by Karin Kallmaker
18th & Castro by Karin Kallmaker is a collection of stories set on Halloween in the Castro. It’s part of the “Bella After Dark” (erotica) collection of Bella Books, which I wasn’t aware of when I picked it up. It’s still not entirely erotica, though. The emphasis is more on the characters and relationships thanRead More
Danika reviews The Salt Roads by Nalo Hopkinson
First of all, how amazing is that cover? Doesn’t it make you want to pick it up just by itself? Amazingly, this was a book I was assigned in a class. I very reluctantly put down Inseparable by Emma Donoghue (which is also amazing, and I will be reviewing it later) to read The Salt Roads, butRead More
Danika reviews Call Me Softly D. Jackson Leigh
I’ve got to tell you, I am perhaps unreasonably impressed by this book. I’ve been reading a lot of self-published lesbian fiction, and I’m sorry to say that that often lowers the bar. Besides, Call Me Softly even corrects some common published lesfic annoyances, in that it has a plot unrelated to the romance. ARead More
Danika reviews The Gifted Ones by Lisa Vaughn
I think I might be a little burnt out on self-published books. The problem is that I always have the same problems with them, and almost all of those problems can be summed up with “not enough editing.” The Gifted Ones (a memoir), unfortunately, fits in that category. The typos are numerous, including two onesRead More
Danika reviews Raven’s Mask by Winter Pennington
Part of the fun of running this blog is experimenting with different books. I haven’t read a lot of genre books, so running the Lesbrary has given me a chance to try them out. Unfortunately, I think Raven’s Mask wasn’t the best choice for me. It’s the second in a series, and although it explains enoughRead More
Danika reviews Travels Through Love And Time by Christine Hall Volkoff
I feel a little bit uncomfortable reviewing this book, because it reads like a first draft. I liked the concept: a look at three different loves, at three different times, in one woman’s life. Unfortunately, the writing felt clunky, and I never really got into the flow of the story because of it. One ofRead More
Danika reviews Rum Spring by Yolanda Wallace
I have to be honest: many of the “lesbian fiction” (really more like lesbian romance, but they’re typically labelled lesbian fiction) books I have read don’t have the best writing. I’m not saying that the writing has to be lyrical or award-winning, but most of the lesfic books I’ve read have had writing that was,Read More
Danika reviews Fireflies by Lacey Reah
I had all these notes written down about Fireflies and I lost them! Sigh. I’ll just do a short form review, then. Pros: I adore this cover. This is probably my favourite cover ever. I’m not sure why, but I just think the art is fantastic, and it’s sexual without being creepy. Also, it actuallyRead More
Danika reviews Butch is a Noun by S. Bear Bergman
I feel the need to start off by saying: I loved this book. I only keep books that I plan on re-reading, and this one is firmly in the permanent collection. It also an example of why I really try to keep the definition of which books are included in the Lesbrary as open asRead More
