Every year for Pride Month, I look for titles that represent the LGBTQ+ community. Earlier this year, I came across these two memoirs that I knew I just had to put on my June TBR list.
I’ve adored Harvey Fierstein for many years so I jumped at the chance to get a copy of his 2022 memoir. I started reading this last night and so far I’ve found it engaging and entertaining (much like Harvey himself).
While I haven’t read any of his fictional works, I was familiar with author Reinaldo Arenas. Before Night Falls is his story of growing up in Cuba and finding freedom through his writing.
As for my MAY TBR…
I finished Cormac McCarthy’s Child of God early in the month and I still can’t shake some of the imagery. Man, that one was brutal! I tried a couple of times to start Brian Lumley’s Vamphyri but I found I just wasn’t in the mood for it, so I have shelved it for now.
Overall, May was a successful reading month, with twelve books completed. I’m hoping to keep on track this month by finishing ten books.
Do you have any reading goals for June? Drop me a line and let’s talk books!
Until next time, stay safe and Happy Reading!
