Thanks for the thoughts on the work situation. TL was 100% better today, still snappy and kind of rude, but complimenting and rewarding B and I for jobs well done. 

I'm feeling a bit better (writing again!) and giving myself some time and space to experience that fully.

I'm skipping January's review for The Lesbrary, but will hopefully write two reviews in February. Under the cut I'm listing several "lesbian" books I have access to. If you'd like to see my opinion on any of them, just let me know. Right now I have no preference.

- Ash by Malinda Lo
- Astray by Emma Donoghue
- Women. Period. (Anthology about menstruation)
- The Queen of Swords by Grahn
- Alcestis by Katharine Beutner
- Hood by Emma Donoghue
- Autumn Leaves by Barbara Winkes
- Something in the Wine by Jae
- Pedalling Backwards by Julia Russell
- The Collection ( Trans anthology)

Here is a funny story. When G's (former) high school friend Andrea moved with her gf to London, Ontario, where Emma Donoghue is a professor, she decided that they would be socializing with Donoghue. Because...they're all queer? Andrea has read a book? I still don't get the logic, especially since her gf is belligerently anti-intellectual.

Okay that is a funnier story in my head. But every time I see Donoghue's name, I think of it and laugh and laugh.

I really liked Ash, if that's a starting point?
