#ReadingPride — Day 5: Queer book where the protagonist has a cool job

Rules for Ghosting by Shelly Jay Shore

Is it weird that I would totally volunteer in a funeral home if the opportunity arose? …Anyways, this was the queer book that came to my mind for this prompt. Excellent and original in every way — the protagonist, Ezra, is trans and queer, and he’s simply trying to work through his family drama while navigating romance in his family-run Jewish funeral home.

#ReadingPride — Day 4: Queer book that has a name or # in the title

Delilah Green Doesn’t Care by Ashley Herring Blake

I’m currently obsessed with Ashley Herring Blake’s books! They are the perfect amount of drama, humor, sexy, and it’s not too sickeningly romantic. This series, in particular, has been very good. I just finished the second book and am looking to the next one.

#ReadingPride — Day 3: Queer book that has been on your TBR too long

Less by Andrew Sean Greer

This is a Pulitzer-prize winning queer book and I am embarrassed that I’ve not read it yet.

#ReadingPride — Day 2: Queer book that reminds you of home.

The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune

I wasn’t exactly sure how to respond to this prompt — I am interpreting it as “what queer book makes me think of home.” To which I would unequivocally say that it is TJ Klune’s book, The House in the Cerulean Sea. I adore this book so much and I am over-the-moon that they are making an animated series adaptation!

I think TJ Klune’s other novel, Under the Whispering Door, is probably a close second. Definitely makes me feel like home as well. No one does queer, found-family like Klune.

“What?”

“I just saw this big guy, totally naked except for a jockstrap and two gold rings, right here and here.”

“For guest towels.”

#ReadingPride — Day 1: First queer book you remember reading.

Keeping You a Secret by Julie Anne Peters (2005)

I was in high school when I read this book. I was still figuring out my sexuality at the time, but I knew I liked girls, so I remember looking specifically for wlw romance YA books. Julie Anne Peters was one of the popular queer YA novel writers in the 2000s.
