The Queer Books I Read in August

First was every step she took by Alison Coklung. This is a Suffic Romance on the Camino Trail. I enjoyed it but going here again is still my favorite.

Later, I picked up a guide to Lu and Ren’s Geozoology by Angela Fusier, a middle-grade fantasy graphic novel. It is the perfect book for T-Dragon Society fans and I definitely count myself. The illustrations are so beautiful that I quickly bought lots of prints. It is a cozy story that deals with generational grief and cultural disparities. Like the Tea Dragon series, it is set in the world of Queernorm and has strange side characters. The ending seems to suggest that the two girls may eventually have a romantic relationship, but you can read either way.

Moon and Bag book cover

The book I spent most time back with is the Moon by Eliana Ramage, the title of literary fiction about a young Cherokee woman trying to become an astronaut. It is a thoughtful and heartbreaking story of ambition, identity, family and belonging. Her college girlfriend really steals the show. I’m worried that this will be covered in the atmosphere of Taylor Jenkins Reed, but I hope I find an audience that deserves it.

Rebel is almost finished with Katee Robert’s Deep, the third book in the Crimson Sails series. It will definitely be finished by the end of August. This is a Romantasy series that is much stronger in the romance category than the fantasy side. It wasn’t much of an interest to me as this is the last book in the series. On the other hand, it’s a polyamus romance (M/F/NB), and there’s a scene in… device…I can’t say I’ve never read it before. I also appreciate how this is Queernorm, using a variety of pronouns, including neopronous.

Sovereignty cover

There are so many books I want to read in September, so I hardly know where to start! First, Cl Clark has two new books to be released on September 30th. This includes the last book in The Magic of the Lost Trilogy, The Soverign. Should I reread the first two books first? I can’t decide. I’m also looking forward to reading her new sufficient fantasy novel, Fate’s Bane.

And then there’s the wild AV Bloom from St. Gibson (October 7th), the first in the bisexual polyamus gothic fantasy series. I’ve loved blood dowry and malicious education so I look forward to this. This premise gives me a rocky horror vibe, probably because they are trapped by some quirky people just because they are forced to take shelter in their mansions during the storm.

Trans History Book Cover

There are many other exciting queer books in September, plus some books I have come out of the library, including Trans History: Graphic Novels and River Roots. And there is the physical arc I have accumulated, like this malicious hunger by Francesca May, or the sufficient, cozy fantasy of Julie Leon’s Keeper of Magical Things (October 14th).

But it’s someone who knows not only scuffs the surface of what I want to read when the weather is blown away, but who will deflect me in the meantime!
