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

Islay reviews Raven Mask by Winter Pennington
Raven Mask is the second in Winter Pennington’s series featuring the adventures of ‘preternatural investigator’ werewolf Kassandra Lyall, and I would most certainly recommend reading the first before the second as Raven Mask picks up fairly seamlessly from where the first novel leaves off. It is, however, an enjoyable romp told with flare and goodRead More
Guest Lesbrarian Shanna
This is a new author who has written a beautiful take on the Cinderella story, with a twist. Ash’s mother is dead, and, following in the tradition of almost all Disney movies, epic poems, and fairy tales, her father dies soon after. She’s left at the mercy of her stepmother, forced to clean and lookRead More
Danika reviews Fire Logic by Laurie J. Marks
If you’re sick of only reading coming out stories (not that there’s anything wrong with coming out stories, but sometimes it’s nice to have some other plot), try reading some Fantasy/Sci Fi lesbian books, because they can just not make it an issue. It’s so refreshing! Zanja, the protagonist (and the woman on the cover,Read More
Danika reviews Watchtower by Elizabeth A. Lynn
Elizabeth E. Lynn’s first novel, Watchtower, is a fantasy that won the 1980 World Fantasy Award for best novel. I haven’t read a lot of fantasy books, but I’m trying to broaden my horizon for the Lesbrary. Watchtower is about Ryke, a commander who defends Tornor Keep. When Tornor Keep is invaded (don’t worry, I’mRead More
Guest Lesbrarian: Emily
For Once, Being Gay Isn’t the Problem Most lesbian literature to date, it seems, details the common struggles of coming out and of dealing with the consequences of being a homosexual in a heterosexual world. Not Ash, the new teen novel by former afterellen.com editor Malinda Lo. A revisionist Cinderella novel complete with pagan holidaysRead More
Danika reviews Kushiel’s Dart by Jacqueline Carey
Love as thou wilt. Such is the precept of Elua, the most important deity of Terre d’Ange, where Kushiel’s Dart takes place. If that sounds like the perfect commandment for a queer novel, it pretty much is. Kushiel’s Dart is the first of a trio of trilogies based in the same world, though only theRead More
Lesbrary Sneak Peek (or: Stuff I Got In the Mail This Week)
I’ve got one hundred unread lesbian/queer women books I own (one hundred and four, to be exact) and probably about three hundred more at the library I can access at any point, so even the queer women books I have I’m probably not going to read for a while yet. That’s why I have SneakRead More
