You might be thinking that this title looks familiar on this blog. You would be correct. In June 2018, after listening to the audiobook and watching the movie, I made a post comparing the two. Considering that books have the ability to include more details than movies, the comparisons are rarely fair. However, it did …

Annie on My Mind by Nancy Garden is truly a slice of my past. It was one of the first lesbian books that I read after I came out in 2007. It was a huge deal for me since I hadn't really seen couples like Ashleigh and I back then. Not in books anyway. It …

Update: I forgot to actually schedule this post, so it did not go live when I expected it to, so please ignore the bits and pieces about me being in the parade. I am almost definitely marching in the Queen City Pride Parade right now, but I won't let that stand in the way of …

Welcome back, lovely readers, as we continue our descent into 2018 Pride Month with more wonderful books. Today, I'm going to be trying something a little bit different for my book review. Maybe it was just me, but my last couple of reviews have felt more like book reports. Never ending university student problems, I …
In the continued vein of Pride Month, my recommendation this week is going amplify the voices of one of those communities. Normally, I recommend an app or a podcast. However, I'm stepping away from that this week and recommending a book. So without further adieu: To my Trans Sisters edited by Charlie Craggs. This book …
