![]() ![]() A few are already out (July 12 was a big day for queer books!) and the rest are ready and waiting for your preorders and library holds. Some I have already read and fallen head-over-heels for, and some are at the top of my TBR. These are 20 of the ones I’m most excited about. And, happily, there are tons of amazing queer books coming out this summer and fall, even if they haven’t all gotten the buzz they deserve. ![]() The deluge of queer books in June sometimes feels a little bit like publishers appeasing us - like as long as they release a ton of LGBTQ+ books in June, they can ignore us the rest of the year. It's the fictional memoir of Trey Newson, a young, Black gay man who's moved from Indianapolis to New York City in the early 1980s at the start of the AIDS epidemic. And that was just one release day, and just the books that interested me, one reader.Īll of these new queer books are very exciting, but, news flash: queer people exist year round. Rasheed Newson's My Government Means to Kill Me is one of those absolutely essential novel that one doesn't realize is needed until one has read it. I lost track of how many it was this year, but a quick glance at my new release spreadsheet (yes, I have one) reminded me that there were 10 queer releases on June 7th alone that I’d either read or was planning to read. Every year, a ton of queer books come out during Pride Month. ![]()
