  • Four Eids and a Funeral

    By Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé Adiba Jaigirdar
    4 stars

    This is unabashedly a YA love story in the romcom tradition. It's thoughtfully written and the characters are wonderful. Some of the plot seems a little unlikely, but nothing out-of-the ordinary for the genre. I highly enjoyed it.

    Light reading but fun.

  • The Luminaries

    By Eleanor Catton
    4 stars

    Very evocatively written with excellent characterisation. I'm disappointed there wasn't more character development throughout the storyline. That said, the historic setting was unusual, interesting, and believably written.

  • Unsuitable

    By Eleanor Medhurst
    5 stars

    Outstanding history of Lesbian Fashion with a primary focus on Western culture, particularly UK/Europe and the USA. Also a whose-who of prominent lesbians and the spaces lesbians congregated (e.g. bars, theaters, music hall etc).

  • The Queen's Wife

    By Joanne Drayton
    5 stars

    A privilege to read an autobiographical work by a woman I know. This was an incredibly unique experience for me, and the first of its kind I have had.

  • The Wicked and the Willing

    By Lianyu Tan
    4 stars

    Well written and I loved the 1920s Singapore setting. Definitely aimed at an adult audience.

  • The Death of Jane Lawrence

    By Caitlin Starling

  • Stone Butch Blues

    By Lesley Feinburg

    Outstanding and important - but mind the caution note regarding violence.
