LGBT Month

Upcoming month I will take part in the LGBT month (in the left column there is a link to the event). Since I'm all for equal rights and support the LGBT community, it seemed only logical for me to participate.
Since there are many LGBT books on my to read list (a bit over 400) it is very difficult to make a decision on what to read and review, but here is a small selection on what I would like to read.

1.  The Evolution of Ethan Poe by Robin Reardon


In the space of a few months, sixteen-year-old Ethan Poe's life has become a complicated mix of facts, theories, and hypotheses. Things he knows beyond doubt: his parents are divorcing, his older brother Kyle is exhibiting alarming behavior, and his best friend is turning into a spiritual fanatic. Then there are the shifting uncertainties, including his feelings toward his father and his desire to both blend in and stand out in his rural Maine hometown. Most pressing of all, there's his attraction to Max Modine, a boy he wants to know much better than he does.




2. A Really Nice Prom Mess by Brian Sloan 


Cameron doesn't want to go to prom. Not with his boyfriend, Shane, and definitely not with his fake date, Virginia. Sure, it's senior prom, it's the end of high school, and Virginia's drop-dead gorgeous. But none of that matters to Cam, who's never liked any high school dance. Ever.

Then an unexpected kiss changes everything, and Cam needs to make a quick exit. After teaming up with a waiter who's been dealing drugs in the bathroom, Cam leaves the prom. But his night is far from over. From a high-speed car chase, to a stop at the after-prom party, to a bar with a wild dance contest...Cam's night finally ends in the most unlikely of romances.
  
3.  Wrong Direction by Lance V. Ramsey


Jack Cox quits Sixth Form College in East London, and fate tosses him a lifeboat, in the form of a summer job with Essex boy, Josh Wood. yet when also joins Josh's band, and meets its hunky drummer, Leonid Bershkov, things start hotting up for Jack, on stage and off. Will Jack's fortunes float on the rising tide, or is he heading in the wrong direction?








4. The Next Competitor by K.P. Kincaid


It's the all-important Olympic season and eighteen-year-old American figure skater Alex Grady is discovering that there are many obstacles along the way on his quest to win a gold medal. For starters, he has to get through endless hours of practice under the watchful eye of his stern and slightly terrifying Russian coach. Then he has to contend with his all-American rival, Tanner Nielsen. Tanner has the talent, looks, poise and picture-perfect girlfriend that make him the ideal poster boy for United States figure skating. Alex has the talent and his looks aren't bad, but the filter between his brain and his mouth is missing, and he definitely doesn't have a girlfriend. He doesn't have a boyfriend either, although he finds himself thinking far too much about pairs skater Matt Savelli, which is ridiculous, since goody two-shoes Matt is totally not his type. Besides, Alex doesn't have time to worry about dating, not with the Olympics looming, right? Can he find a way to go for the gold and still remain true to himself?
