Nat reviews The Verifiers by Jane Pek

June 26, 2022 by Lesbrarians

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Are you looking for a dystopian mystery in the vein of Dave Eggers’s The Circle, with a high stakes, lesbian Nancy Drew vibe and a heaping side of Person of Interest (where no gays are harmed in the making)? Then this is the book for you, my friend.Read More

Danika reviews Be Gay, Do Comics!: Queer History, Memoir, and Satire from the Nib

September 1, 2020 by Danika Ellis

Be Gay, Do Comics is an anthology with more than 30 contributors, all discussing some aspect of queer life. This was a refreshingly diverse and thought-provoking collection. Most anthologies in this vein that I’ve read have played it pretty safe: they’ve usually been very white, and mostly focused on gay cis men, with the overarchingRead More

Wow, No Thank You audiobook by Samantha Irby

Meagan Kimberly reviews Wow, No Thank You by Samantha Irby

August 25, 2020 by Danika Ellis

I listened to this collection of essays on audio, in which Samantha Irby herself reads, which is how I highly recommend you consume this book. Irby brings her biting wit and raw honesty to each essay, making them feel more like confessions. But they create a lifeline to so many who feel the way sheRead More

Marieke reviews Gideon The Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

August 24, 2020 by Danika Ellis

Content warnings (for the book not the review): graphic violence, death, and murder This review focuses on the relationship between the two main characters and occasionally touches on other story elements. Gideon The Ninth is so many different things at once that it would be impossible to include them all here, and I highly recommendRead More

Danika reviews My Lady’s Choosing: An Interactive Romance Novel by Kitty Curran and Larissa Zageris

April 3, 2018 by Danika Ellis

Yes, this is a choose your own adventure romance novel! I don’t read a lot of romance, but I couldn’t resist this premise, at least once I heard that there was a path where you could turn your back on the suitors and run off with a lady instead! This was, above all, super fun.Read More

Her first client in a while is a butch lesbian like herself who hires her to find out why her girlfriend has left her and gone back into the prostitution trade.

July 13, 2017 by Danika Ellis

Thank you, Shanna! “‘And those awful rumors the students are spreading,’ Laura continued in a whisper. ‘Half the student body should be in the care of a psychiatrist, in my opinion.’” So, at one point in my not-too-distant history, IRead More
