Dearest Bookworms,
Happy Pride!! I hope June has been (and continues to be) full of glee. Summer is coming in hot (ha ha get it, because it is hot out) and with it the end of the school year!
To help you enjoy your Pride I've put together a booklist (what's new) of 5 books!
- Thirsty by Jas Hammonds In the summer before college, eighteen-year-old Blake Brenner works to join the exclusive Serena Society with her girlfriend, and turns to alcohol to cope with the pressure of pledging, as her pursuit of success begins to strain her relationships.
- And they were roommates by Page Powars Transgender teen Charlie's plan to keep a low profile at his boys' boarding school becomes jeopardized when he starts rooming with his former summer camp fling from before he transitioned.
- They bloom at night by Trang Thanh Tran In Mercy, Louisiana, a town plagued by red algae and vanishing residents, Noon finds a reluctant ally in Covey and the two join forces to hunt a deadly creature in the dark waters as a storm looms.
- Generation queer : stories of youth organizers, artists, and educators by Kimm Topping A collection of short biographies featuring young LGBTQ+ leaders working to make their world more inclusive
From silence to solidarity : the fight for LGBTQ+ rights by Emily Starbuck Gerson More North Americans are LGBTQ+ than ever before. This community has made much progress toward achieving equal rights, but many members have and continue to face legal, social, and cultural challenges. From past to present, learn about the fight for LGBTQ+ rights in North America
Happy Reading!
Sincerly Your Friendly Neighborhood Librarian,
