I started June with four books read, but then I began The Keeper of Lonely Spirits by E.M. Anderson, which stalled my reading speed, as I had to restart it three times, to the point where I was worried it wasn’t LGBTI+ inclusive. Still, on my third attempt, I’m understanding things better, and I’m 1/3 of the way through. I’m unsure if this one is for me, but I’m using it for the two readathons I’m participating in, so I’m not DNF’ing it. By the time this post is up, I’m hoping to be finished with it. I currently have 85 LGBT+ books on my TBR. I will do my best not to add more, especially since some of my Kindle books won’t load. Sam is currently hosting WWW Wednesday from Taking On A World of Words.

Anyone will tell you; Cooper Heath isn’t much of a build-it-yourself kinda guy.
I’ve been way too busy trying to turn my Hollywood dreams into a career—while simultaneously trying to keep my family afloat when my twin brother’s medical bills keep threatening to sink us—to ever strap on a tool belt.
But when Jacks needs a treatment I can’t afford, I’m willing to take just about any role that comes my way…
Even if it means spending an entire summer posing as the fake boyfriend of an up-and-coming YouTube renovation expert while we renovate a dilapidated cabin in front of the cameras.
Even if it means we’re sharing one tiny bed in one very tiny RV.
Even though I quickly find myself falling for my sweet, strong, sexy, stubborn, and oh-so-silent costar.
Because in a world of social media filters and fair-weather followers, Isaac “Nine” Winshed is something special, someone real. He’s strong, and honest, and kind, and so incredibly… genuine.
And when our summer is over, I’m left with an impossible choice: leave Nine behind for the life I always wanted or build a new life with him… together.

Find an angry spirit. Send it on its way before it causes trouble. Leave before anyone learns his name.
After over two hundred years, Peter Shaughnessy is ready to die and end this cycle. But thanks to a youthful encounter with one o’ them folk in his native Ireland, he can’t. Instead, he’s cursed to wander eternally far from home, with the ability to see ghosts and talk to plants.
Immortality means Peter has lost everyone he’s ever loved. And so he centers his life on the dead—until his wandering brings him to Harrington, Ohio. As he searches for a vengeful spirit, Peter’s drawn into the townsfolk’s lives, homes and troubles. For the first time in over a century, he wants something other than death.
But the people of Harrington will die someday. And he won’t.
As Harrington buckles under the weight of the supernatural, the ghost hunt pits Peter’s well-being against that of his new friends and the man he’s falling for. If he stays, he risks heartbreak. If he leaves, he risks their lives.

On the run from scandal, Rook is about to get in even more trouble with sassy Aldo. Is he ready to risk his career for love?
Rook Warrick
As one of Hollywood’s most bankable action heroes, I have a reputation for always defeating the bad guys and getting the girl in the end. When a video of me passionately kissing my male co-star outs me from the closet and puts my career in jeopardy, I run away to a luxurious resort in the Maldives to hide out until the scandal blows over. That’s where I meet Aldo, my sassy live-in butler. My world feels like it’s collapsing around me, but he brightens my days and sees the real me that I’ve had to keep hidden. Our repartee turns my unwanted sabbatical into a true vacation in paradise.
Plus, the longer I’m around Aldo, the more his playful innuendos make me think things I really shouldn’t about a baby-faced twenty-year-old. Even worse, I think I’m actually starting to fall in love with him for real. But how can it be wrong when it feels so right?
Aldo Farnese
It’s no wonder Rook is tightly wound when he’s a gay man who has spent his entire professional career pretending to be a straight movie star. He needs someone laid-back like me to help him relax as I take care of all his needs. It starts as a fun way to make both of us feel better as we pass the time, but it quickly becomes so much more than that.
I’ve never been interested in a committed relationship, but Rook makes me want that with him. I know he could be the perfect boyfriend for me, but how can I convince him to give us a chance to star in our own romantic happily ever after?
