List of books reviewed

This is an entirely idiosyncratic selection of more or less LGBT-themed books that I've reviewed so far. Please note, the attribution of stars is based on the Michelin guide system. So:

 

No star doesn't mean it's awful, but it's definitely missable. Read the review.

1 star: Definitely worth your time.

2 stars: An important work.

3 stars: A classic.
