Lizzy & Annie by Casey Plett

Danika reviews Lizzy & Annie by Casey Plett

May 15, 2014 by Danika Ellis

Lizzy & Annie by Casey Plett is an illustrated short story bound zine-style. It follows a romance between two trans women in New York City and it’s pretty much perfect. When I heard about about the premise of Lizzy & Annie (trans lesbians story? trans lesbians of colour? written by a trans woman? with gorgeous watercolour illustrations??), IRead More

Sponsored Review: Danika reviews the Courage of Outliers by Elizabeth Samit

November 14, 2013 by Danika Ellis

The Courage of Outliers by Elizabeth Samit is a collection of ten mystery short stories, all with some gay or lesbian content, usually with a lesbian protagonist. I don’t read a lot of mysteries: I tend to be terrible at spotting clues, and usually I end up not only surprised but confused by the bigRead More

Danika reviews Survival Skills by Jean Ryan

April 13, 2013 by Danika Ellis

I have found an odd thing about writing reviews: I tend to find it a lot easier to describe what I don’t like about a book than what I do. If I put down a book that I hated, I can very easily write a review detailing every flaw. But it’s a lot harder toRead More

December 28, 2011 by Danika Ellis

“Song of Bullfrogs, Cry of Geese” is a science-fiction short story set in a world in which a disease – or symptoms as it is named – is weakening the human race, slowly making it die.

Laura Mandanas reviews “Gigglepuss” by Giselle Renarde

September 21, 2011 by Danika Ellis

I have to say: I was a bit concerned when, four paragraphs in, the main love interest was characterized as a “Japanese anime schoolgirl.” (Like, really people. Can we just stop with the racist Asian exotification and extraordinarily sleazy fetishization of teenage girls? That would be great.) Normally I would have stopped reading there, butRead More

Maryam reviews Black Girl Love by Anondra Williams

August 31, 2011 by Danika Ellis

I started to review another book for this month, but I put that book down and picked up Black Girl Love instead, and I’m glad that I did. Black Girl Love is a series of fictional vignettes punctuated by the occasional poem. The poetry sets the tone for the author’s style, and the short stories are so vibrant inRead More

Yet when she discovers the shop owner is none other than her first — and last — love, Aleesha, everything comes back. As a kiss has Olivia thinking about her own mother’s actions which resulted in theirRead More

Danika reviews The Voting Booth After Dark by Vanessa Libertad Garcia

April 30, 2011 by Danika Ellis

This book is a little difficult to review, because it’s not a novel. It doesn’t have a plot. It’s a collection of fragments, snippets, of different people’s lives. The description calls it a collection of short stories and poems interwoven into a narrative that follows a group of addicted gay & lesbian Latino club kidsRead More
