Friday Fics Fix - In 2009, There Was a Girl Named Jennifer Check
'Because there is blood. And there is black stuff all over the floor.
And Jennifer is eyeing her like a dog does a bone, paws twitching and lips being licked.'
A decade ago, there was a film about two high school girls. And one of them ate boys.
And because it was unapologetically about Queer girls (this film is so Gay,) and because it was at least ten years ahead of its time, it was hated by critics and went unnoticed by the public for too long.
I've seen reviewers (mainly dudes, might I add,) talk sh** about it recently, of course, but the fact remains: this film is a f**king Queer Classic!

Friday Fics Fix - Girls' World
'"Maybe it’s not—," Ava started. A cone of flame whirled through the air. "Okay, maybe it is Mick."'
On International Women's Day, I think it's only appropriate to feature a fic about two of my favourite Queer female characters!
(I realise the link is maybe a little tenuous. But I don't actually care. I'm going with it 😎)

4 Fangirling-Worthy Webcomics With Central F/F Romance (That Are Also Available In Print!)
Ladies who love ladies are amazing.
So, as it's Pride Month, and I'm a Queer lady who loves the nerdy things in life, I think it's time we celebrate some central F/F relationships, don't you?
This short list of comics features romantic relationships ranging from the sexy to the innocent, and ladies who have their own unique personalities and situations.
Available to read online (for free!) or in printed form, let these ladies bring a little love to your lives!

Friday Fics Fix - Lady Love
'Ava stops and stares. There is Sara Lance, trained assassin and former vigilante, face down on her desk drooling. When Sara snorts and a little drool bubble forms at the corner of her mouth, Ava has to slap her hand over her mouth to keep from laughing out loud.'
Sara Lance, former Black Canary, current White Canary, general bad-a**, assassin, and time-ship captain; an amazing hero.
She's awesome. She's also a Bisexual lady with an open preference for the ladies over the dudes.
She leads the way for Queer rep. in the Arrowverse (that's all the CW's DC superhero shows.)

2017's Top 4 Books (...In The Opinion of Yours Truly)
2017 can't be well and truly dusted off and put back on the shelf* without some input from your favourite Bookish Rebel (moi, ofc,) on the bestest books of the year.
*Ha, shelf? Books? Hehe! XD
This is TOTALLY MY OPINION ONLY.
Obviously, I can only pick from books I've read. And within that only books published in 2017.
Even given those rules, there's a bunch of books that I've read that I didn't include - THAT DOESN'T MEAN I DON'T LIKE THEM!!!!
This is basically a snapshot of the stand-outs. There were loooooads of other books I could've included - promise!
(My Anxiety kicks in when I think I might be leaving someone/something out that deserves recognition - does it show?!)

Month in Review(s) - December 2017
Decemmmmberrrr!!!!!!!!! Wooo!!! XD (Yes, it's January - but let's face it, I never wrap-up on time.)
OK, so December for me was actually super-super-hectic, but it came with Christmas at the end, so I really can't be mad at it! Lol.
(I love Christmas. Sooooo much!!!! 😁 )

Friday Fics Fix - Festive F/F!
I actually really liked this week's fic (well... obviously... since I'm recommending it... but you know what I mean!)
Sometimes a fic comes along at just the right moment - I mean, who doesn't need something short, sweet, and warming right now?!

Month in Review(s) - November 2017
November was one of those super-busy months where I barely had time to think!
As such, guys, I apologise if I've been a little more AWOL than usual.
I haven't had much chance to be social and all that - so, hi! I am still here! XD
