Unfortunately, like the rest of the bestseller list, these books are disproportionately by white authors. Some queer new releases out this week that deserve more attention include So Many Stars: An Oral History of Trans, Nonbinary, Genderqueer, and Two-Spirit People of Color by Caro De Robertis, Get Real, Chloe Torres by Crystal Maldonado, and Death in the Cards by Mia K. Manansala.
Here are the seven queer bestselling books of the week:
Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar (USA Today, Indie Bestsellers)
Love at Second Sight by F.T. Lukens (NYT, Indie Bestsellers)
Hotter in the Hamptons by Tinx, ghostwritten by Gabrielle Korn (USA Today)
Awakened by A. E. Osworth (USA Today)
Monk and Robot by Becky Chambers (USA Today)
Beetle & the Chimera Carnival by Aliza Layne (Indie Bestsellers)
Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao (Indie Bestsellers)
I’m happy to see Awakened on this list: this trans fantasy novel was a five star read for me! You can read my full review for why.
