The Heights and Depths of Queer Trans Nostalgia: A/S/L by Jeanne Thornton Review

March 28, 2025 by Danika Ellis

When Lilith, Sash, and Abraxa were teenagers in the late 90s, they ran a video game corporation together. They never actually sold a video game, but they worked on an incredibly ambitious text-based (ASCII) game together. Sash was the leader, the idea person who held everyone else to exacting standards. Lilith struggled to design gameRead More

For Nerdy Queer Teens Past and Present: Out of Character by Jenna Miller

May 22, 2023 by Danika Ellis

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Talk about a painfully relatable read. I’m almost glad this wasn’t around when I was a teen, because I’m not sure I could handle reading it then! Cass is a fat, nerdy queer teenager who is obsessed with a book series and roleplays as one of the charactersRead More

Jen Wilde’s Books are the Feel-Good Sapphic YA You’ve Been Searching For

June 19, 2019 by Danika Ellis

Did you know I (Danika) have a booktube channel? Along with the Lesbrary, the Bi & Lesbian Literature tumblr, and Book Riot, I talk about books there, too! Apparently I can’t say enough about them. Most of my content is about queer women books, and I even have a playlist of just my sapphic bookRead More

Danika reviews Nico & Tucker by Rachel Gold

February 19, 2018 by Danika Ellis

When Being Emily by Rachel Gold was published in 2012, it was one of the first YA novels to be from the point of view of a trans girl (although it was not own voices). Similarly, Nico & Tucker is representing a segment of the LGBTQIA+ community not often seen in media: nonbinary and intersex people. Nico isRead More

Danika reviews Knit One, Girl Two by Shira Glassman

December 28, 2017 by Danika Ellis

I feel a little bit silly reviewing Knit One, Girl Two, because what can I say that hasn’t been said before? Especially considering that this is a novella! So consider this less of a review, and more of a reminder that this sweet little novella exists (and that you can get it for about $2!) ThisRead More

Danika reviews Queens of Geek by Jen Wilde

March 21, 2017 by Danika Ellis

This. Was. Adorable. I was between rating this 4 stars or 5, but I couldn’t think of anything that I would change about it to improve it, so I guess that makes it an automatic 5 stars! Queens of Geek follows two point of view characters, Charlie and Taylor, as well as their friend Jamie.Read More
