I love this book. Love, love, love. If you’re a lesbian book fan, and I’d be pretty surprised if you’re reading this and aren’t, you’ve probably heard of Dorothy Allison’s lesbian classic Bastard Out of Carolina. I haven’t read that one yet, but I’ve been wanting to for a long time, so when Two orRead More
May I Kiss You On the Lips, Miss Sandra? by Sandra Bernhard
May I Kiss You On the Lips, Miss Sandra? was one of the few books that weren’t packed during my move, so I decided to give it a try. I don’t like to give bad reviews, because I know that just because I didn’t like a book, doesn’t mean that other people won’t enjoy it.Read More

Lesbrary Sneak Peek: Anthologies and Books About Lesbian Books!
Okay, so I got these a while back in that giant book sale I was telling you about, but I’m still super excited about them. Actually, these are the books I’m most excited about reading.

Danika reviews Fifty Gay and Lesbian Books Everybody Must Read edited by Richard Canning
I’m going to get my major problem with this book out of the way right at the beginning. I didn’t think it would be a perfectly even split between gay and lesbian books (and don’t get me started on those being the only categories), but I wasn’t expecting it be so heavily weighted on oneRead More
Lesbrary Sneak Peek: Nonfiction
Lesbian nonfiction! Now, I’m going to be honest, the first book on that stack I only picked up because I got it for free. I am not a parent. It will be interesting, though, to hear about it from the other side. I’ve heard so many horrible stories about parents’ reactions to coming out (IRead More
New York Times article on Inseparable by Emma Donoghue
The New York Times has a review of Emma Donoghue’s book on “desire between women”: Inseparable. The article is here. I’ve been wanting to read Inseparable for a while now, partly because it has to do with lesbian in fiction, but also because I really liked the book that I read by Emma Donoghue, KissingRead More
Lesbrary Sneak Peek: Nonfiction
Okay, so yesterday I went to this incredible book sale. People donate their books (it all benefits children’s literacy) and then they are sold for $1 for a mass market, $2 for a trade, and $3 for a hardcover. People camp out in the line, you have to get there at least an hour beforeRead More
Lesbrary Review: The Whole Lesbian Sex Book by Felice Newman
Now this is a sex book! I read the second edition of The Whole Lesbian Sex Book: A Passionate Guide For All of Us (from my public library! Though now I’m going to buy it for myself). When it says “whole”, it really means whole. The Whole Lesbian Sex Book includes information on how menopauseRead More
Lesbrary Sneak Peek: More books I got in the mail!
I got a box of books in the mail this week that I’m very excited about. (Thanks Bookmooch!) This is one of those really specific titles that I always find fascinating. In its defense, this isn’t actually all about lesbian hair (though you probably could write a book about it). It’s a humour book thatRead More
