“The Scapegracers” is the best exploration of high school dynamics and teenage girls that I’ve seen for a good long time.

Bingo Love written by Tee Franklin
[Edit: Originally published June 22, 2018] Bingo Love is the utterly sweet and heartwrenching story of Hazel Johnson and Mari McCray, two young girls who find love in 1963, however, the homophobia of the time ends up tearing them apart and they don’t see each other again for almost 50 years. Something I really loved about Bingo… Continue reading Bingo Love written by Tee Franklin
“Eggshells” by Ziggy Schutz from Behind the Mask
[Edit: Originally published May 19, 2017] When Pen falls and gets a concussion (and not even while superheroing) the repercussions are a lot more long lasting than she maybe expected. There’s this trope in action genres, that’s basically, hit a person on the head as an easy and harmless way to knock them out. Except… Continue reading “Eggshells” by Ziggy Schutz from Behind the Mask
Ice Massacre by Tiana Warner
[Edit: Originally published August 6, 2016] Ice Massacre is mermaids unromanticized, well, except for the fact that our leading lady falls in love with one. These are not the friendly mermaids that appear on our Starbucks cups, or even really the (Disney) Peter Pan mermaids, though those certainly do want to drown you. These are the… Continue reading Ice Massacre by Tiana Warner
The Price of Salt (or Carol) by Patricia Highsmith
[Edit: Originally published June 22, 2016] Another classic lesbian novel. In fanfiction terms I would describe this book as slow burn. It takes it’s time getting to the point where the couple, Carol and Therese (pronounced Terez), get together. It’s not a coming out story, in fact I don’t think the word lesbian is mentioned… Continue reading The Price of Salt (or Carol) by Patricia Highsmith
Spring Fire by Vin Packer (Marijane Meaker)
[Edit: Originally published June 15, 2016] The original lesbian pulp fiction novel. That alone is something that grabs and makes you want to read, but let me tell you, proceed with caution. As important as this book is historically, it’s not something that everyone will want or be able to read. This is not a happy… Continue reading Spring Fire by Vin Packer (Marijane Meaker)
The Case of the Good-For-Nothing Girlfriend by Mabel Maney
[Edit: Originally published May 5, 2016] I finally got around to reading book two of the Nancy Clue and Cherry Aimless books. This one’s a little heavier than the other two. It’s still an adventure, but now we’re dealing the murder of Carson Clue (Nancy’s father) that was mentioned but not discussed in The Case of… Continue reading The Case of the Good-For-Nothing Girlfriend by Mabel Maney
A Ghost in the Closet by Mabel Maney
[Edit: Originally published on March 26, 2016] Book three of three of the Cherry Aimless and Nancy Clue books. (I know I haven’t reviewed two yet, but I was able to get my hands on book three first so). Our favorite Nurse Cherry Aimless is back again with Nancy Clue and pals, but this time,… Continue reading A Ghost in the Closet by Mabel Maney
The Case of the Not-So-Nice Nurse by Mabel Maney
[Edit: Originally published on March 21, 2016.] In a rollicking parody of the Cherry Ames and Nancy Drew books. Maney brings us the characters of Cherry Aimless and Nancy Clue and the mystery that brings them together. Kidnapping, intrigue, lesbians. It’s cheesy and funny and here’s the clincher. No one dies. The worst that happens… Continue reading The Case of the Not-So-Nice Nurse by Mabel Maney
