The Complexity of Being a Queer Refugee: From Here by Luma Mufleh

August 24, 2023 by Til

Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Trigger warnings for this book: suicide attempts and ideation, homophobia, violence Like a lot of Westerners, when I hear about countries with laws against homosexuality, I respond with instinctual aversion: “What a terrible place! I hope any queer people there can leave!” I imagine impediments like the law and its enforcers, economicRead More

Jordan reviews A Pirate’s Heart by Catherine Friend

March 27, 2014 by Danika Ellis

Pirates are one of those passions that tend to capture people in a phase, like your teenage mutant ninja turtle phase. And just like how I will always love those pizza pounding turtles, there will always be some part of me that jumps at anything about pirates; particularly when I can come across stuff aboutRead More

Jordan reviews Nevada by Imogen Binnie

February 26, 2014 by Danika Ellis

If there is anything we need more of, it is trans* literature, or pretty much any books falling under that such umbrella term. But as the years go on we start to see more and more. Even so, books like Nevada or Luna, are still quite literally a rare treat, because I can actually countRead More

Jordan reviews Fairy Tales for Princesses who love Dames by Rene von Bonaparte

June 25, 2013 by Danika Ellis

Where ever I go fairy tales always follow me. Although, particularly I’ve been scavenging for fairy tales of the queer variety lately, which means I’ve picked up quite a bit of Sarah Diemer’s work, and I’ve done some reviews on some older ones like Kissing the Witch. But I wanted to try something more recentRead More

Jordan reviews Gay Pride and Prejudice by Kate Christie (and Jane Austen)

May 28, 2013 by Danika Ellis

Along my bookshelf, the possibility of seeing a classical book is actually really slim. About the only things I have are Little Women, a bunch of fairy tales, and a couple of somewhat old lesbian books. But the classics, like Melville and Pride and Prejudice are not something you’d find in my stuff, mostly becauseRead More

Jordan reviews Kissing the Witch by Emma Donoghue

May 10, 2013 by Danika Ellis

Far too many people often forget the power of a story. Stories change worlds, or particularly they shape worlds, and people. If you don’t believe me, just look at how much Disney has managed to shape the mentality around romance and love for many people of the current generation. And luckily it isn’t only DisneyRead More
