Queereaders discussion

We're now accepting nominations for May - June.

Please read the rules for nominating BEFORE you create your post!! And check our bookshelves to be sure you are not nominating something we have already read as a group!

Only ONE nomination per person.

Please be sure to post the title and author.

Authors may not nominate their own books.

Please add your selections here. Once we get a sufficient number of titles, I will start up a poll. Each person may choose one title.

Remember, the authors should be gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered, or feature significant gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered characters in their work. Queer can be interpreted as broadly as we like.

Any genre (SF/fantasy, horror, romance, mystery), non-fiction, and classics are acceptable. Based on this criteria, we should have plenty of books to choose from. If you are nominating a title that is part of a series, please make sure to nominate the first book, unless we have already read it as a group.

The book discussion will start May 1 and continue through the end of June. This should give everyone sufficient time to obtain and read the book.

I'm disappointed it's not available in a Kindle edition.

I picked up Faun by Trebor Healey on Monday after hearing him do a reading from it. The book has my nomination for May-June.

I nominate In One Person by John Irving.

I am currently reading The Sky always Hears me and The Hills Don't Mind . I think it handles the process of questioning excelently.

The main character is unsure of whether or not she's straight or bi. She's dating a boy whom she really isn't interested in. At the same time, she is starting to fall for male friend at work. She also aknowleges the possibility that she's bi because she was kissed by a popular girl at school and can't seem to get the girl out of her head. She's very accepting of her questioning and even tells her grandma who is in full support of her.

The author has a lot of interesting writing techniques could be discussed as well. I haven't finished reading the book yet either, so I can't spoil the ending but I should be done reading it in a week or two.

I nominate Greetings From Jamaica, Wish You Were Queer by Mari SanGiovanni

I nominate The Others by Siba Al-Harez

The poll is up. Go vote!
