message 7: by Carrie (new)

Carrie Scott | 4 comments I just finished Under the Udala Trees. It was a tough book about a lesbian growing up in Nigeria in the late 60s-early 70s during/after the Nigerian civil war. There was a lot of graphic homophobia, but it gave life to the experiences of LGBT people in an environment that I, as a white American, am not often exposed to

Michael (mgm58) | 29 comments I just finished Wolf Hunted by C.J. Vosse. I liked it. However, I thought it was a completed trilogy. After reading the notes at the end it's apparently a trilogy of trilogies meaning nine books. Only four have been written so I'm stopping now. I'm not waiting years for the series to be completed (and possibly never completed). I'll check back in a year or two to see!

Bill | 465 comments In light of June being Pride month, and being in the midst of a pandemic; it seems appropriate to read at last Valley of the Dead by Crystal Michallet-Romero

spooks (teasolider) | 2 comments I'm currently reading The Picture of Dorian Gray.
Also can someone friend me? I don't have any friends on here and I think this is a good community to start.

Your profile says you mostly read fantasy., but you've picked a good book to branch out with. My fantasy books read are mostly Harry Potter & Tolkien. Send me a friend request if you want.

I've decided to bail on that and instead read The Moon and Sixpence by W. Somerset Maugham.

Natasha Holme (natashaholme) | 465 comments Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens. Quite an engaging read.

message 18: by Bill (new)

Bill | 465 comments Okay so it's summer and things are still not fully opened thanks to Covid. If I can't get to Provincetown for real there's always books.

I'm starting P Town by Howard R. Reiss


Adrian-Jacob Aramis (adrianjakearamis) | 1 comments Got my hands on an advanced copy of Honeybee by Craig Silvey. Enjoying it so far


message 22: by Turn (new)

Turn (turn_5_agent) | 1 comments Swimming in the Dark by Tomasz Jedrowski. God that book broke my heart but it's so hauntingly beautiful. My favourite gay lit, Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin, plays an important role in that book. (which made me happy beyond words)


message 23: by Natasha (new)

Natasha Holme (natashaholme) | 465 comments Dark Matter by Blake Crouch.


message 24: by Dr. Jeffery (new)

Dr. Jeffery Hudson-Covolo | 1 comments I am reading The Ocean Liner, by Marius Gabriel. It is World War II and two of the great composers are simultaneously on an American Ocean Liner leaving La Havre, France and headed to the United States. U-Boats are in the Atlantic Ocean. Will the SS Manhattan with 1500 people aboard be a target of the Germans? It is a slow-building story but a steady read for summer.

Chris | 16 comments I just finished Date Me, Bryson Keller... it was outside my normal genres, I was surprised how much I liked it!


message 26: by Garfield (new)

Garfield Dsouza (quasimoir) | 2 comments I just began with the magic of Rushdie's 'Haroun and Sea of Stories'. It's a sheer delight as it careens into the surreal and fantastical - and that has had my attention spellbound these days!

Kay ☾ (notkoralis) | 1 comments Hard Limits by Pascal Scott

First Rule of the Cutthroat Vampire Collective: Don't Fall For The Target by JJ Arias

Re reading the entire Harry Potter series since it’s been over 10 years since I last read it. Currently on Harry Potter and the Chamber Of Secrets.

Bill | 465 comments Third Base... A Love Story by Kenny Arena has been on my To Read shelf for far too long. With no real baseball to watch so far I thought I'd finally read this.

message 31: by Natasha (new)

Natasha Holme (natashaholme) | 465 comments Things a Bright Girl Can Do by Sally Nicholls -- 1914 historical fiction about the Suffragettes, with some "Sapphist" interest thrown in.


message 32: by Charles (new)

Charles (achapcalledcharlie) I just finished The Black Flamingo by Dean Atta and All the Bad Apples by Moïra Fowley-Doyle. Really enjoyed both.
