I was looking at my bookcase and saw my gay little books and I was like "Someone might appreciate getting recommended these" so here we all.
The books here will have queer themes (duh) and I will be showing off the front cover and the back cover with the summary, if the book provides one, and a few picked pages for preview
☆Here's the list of books, in no particular order☆
1. BLACKWATER, by Jeanette Arroyo and Ren Graham
Summary:
Welcome to the haunted town of Blackwater . . .
Tony Price is a popular high school track star and occasional delinquent aching for his dad's attention and approval.
Eli Hirsch is a quiet boy with a chronic autoimmune disorder that has ravaged his health and social life. What happens when these two become unlikely friends- and a whole lot more- in the spooky town of Blackwater, Maine? Werewolf curses, unsavory interactions with the quarterback of the football team, a ghostly fisherman haunting the harbor, and tons of high school drama.
2. WELCOME TO SAINT HELL by Lewis Hancox
Summary: Lewis has a few things to say to his younger self.
He knows she hates her body. He knows she's confused about who to snoh. He knows she's really a He and will ultimately realize this. But she's going through a whole lot of mess (some of it funny. some of it not funny at all) to get that point. Lewis is trying to tell her this. . . but she can't quite hear him yet.
In WELCOME TO ST. HELL, Lewis Hancox takes readers on the hilarious, heartbreaking, and healing path he took to make it past trauma, confusion, hurt, and dubious fashion choices in order to become the man he was meant to be.
3. ESCAPE FROM ST. HELL by Lewis Hancox
Summary:
Man Mode: Activated
Confusion, triumph, and cringe-worthy mistakes ahead!
For Lewis Hancox, figuring out he was a guy want the end of his journey- it was the start.
Growing up trans in the small town of Saint Helens seemed nearly impossible, but leaving home and going out into the wider world brings a new set of hellish challenges. With anxiety as his constant companion and male role models in short supply, Lewis sets on unlocking the meaning of life 2.0. And romance? Say hello to a spiraling series of tumblings, fumblings, and humblings. At least until the right person comes along (or doesn't)
As in his best selling graphic memoir WELCOME TO ST. HELL, Lewis charts his transition story with plenty of laughs and openess that shows how even when life seems like and endless game, building your own character is always a winning strategy.
