Estimated reading time: 3 minutes
May was a busy month within my personal life but I managed to go through most of the TBR! I have included some of the ones from the May TBR that I will be reading this June. Please note that I took these descriptions from Goodreads so that I don’t butcher anything I say to books I haven’t read yet.
1) Transposition by Gregory Ashe
Emery Hazard and his partner, John-Henry Somerset, have solved their first case together. The brutal murders that rocked the quiet town of Wahredua have been put to rest. Hazard, however, finds his life has only grown more complicated as he adjusts to his new home. Living with Somers, whom he has been drawn to since high school, makes ‘complicated’ the understatement of the year. The turmoil of living together spills over when Hazard and Somers find themselves trapped by the weather in an old mansion and, against Hazard’s better judgment, sharing a bed. Strictly as friends, of course. Just when things can’t get any more confusing, the next morning brings a worsening storm--and a murder.
2) Pageboy by Elliot Page
Pageboy is a groundbreaking coming-of-age memoir from the Academy Award-nominated actor Elliot Page. A generation-defining actor and one of the most famous trans advocates of our time, Elliot will now be known as an uncommon literary talent, as he shares never-before-heard details and intimate interrogations on gender, love, mental health, relationships, and Hollywood.
3) Finders Keepers by N. R. Walker
Ashton I’ve shared an office with Dominic, the grumpy raincloud to my endless sunshine, for three and a half years. My roommates and colleagues are convinced I’m obsessed with him, and okay, maybe I am slightly curious about what he signed to me at the staff mid-winter party. Was it one of his normal snarky insults? A limerick? Directions to the nearest coffee shop? But am I ready to discover what Dominic actually wants to say to me?
4) Subscribe To Me by Scott Tracey
Do you know what it’s like to be the butt of the joke? I do. Do you know what it’s like to have hundreds or thousands of people criticize your every move? Same here. Have you ever been outed by someone without your permission? Yup, me again. I’m Cory, and my older sister is a Youtube influencer with a lifestyle vlog and a fanbase that loves to hate me. Her first viral video hit just before I entered ninth grade when she ‘accidentally’ outed me while fretting to the internet how her poor, gay brother was going to be treated in high school. Up until that point, no one even knew my name, let alone anything so personal. I don’t want to be famous in that way. If anything, I want to be behind the camera, as the writer and producer of my own television show. Then Jon Park comes back into our lives. His best friend is my sister’s boyfriend, so he’s always been a part of her friend group, even though he seems to dislike my sister almost as much as I do. The problem is that he dislikes me even more! But he’s been absent all summer, and no one’s heard a peep out of him. A star soccer player, he’s cold and unapproachable, but the girls at school are obsessed with him. Somehow by accident, we begin spending time together, watching movies (I’m a huge movie buff!). The more I get to know him, the more I see another side to him. But things get crazy when he comes out to me, and then even crazier when I find out that my sister was eavesdropping and plans on outing him the same way she outed me. I want to be the one writing dramas, not in the middle of one myself!
5) Good Girl, Bad Blood by Holly Jackson
Pip is not a detective anymore. With the help of Ravi Singh, she released a true-crime podcast about the murder case they solved together last year. The podcast has gone viral, yet Pip insists her investigating days are behind her. But she will have to break that promise when someone she knows goes missing. Jamie Reynolds has disappeared, on the very same night the town hosted a memorial for the sixth-year anniversary of the deaths of Andie Bell and Sal Singh. The police won't do anything about it. And if they won't look for Jamie then Pip will, uncovering more of her town's dark secrets along the way... and this time everyone is listening. But will she find him before it's too late?
