» Posted By omg team On Thursday, December 6, 2018 | category: Homophilic, Literary | 1 comment

The OMG Book Club highlights new, must-read literature available at Glad Day Bookshop, the world’s oldest surviving LGBTQ bookstore (and a great Amazon alternative).

K.D. Edwards’s debut novel The Last Sun is the first story in his fantasy series The Tarot Sequence (cover art for book two has already been revealed). Set in the city of New Atlantis on the island we know as Nantucket, the tale revolves around a fallen prince named Rune (and his sexy bodyguard/BF Brand) who have been tasked with finding a missing member of the royal family.

There is magic, intrigue, mystery, and a lot of gay stuff, all set in a “historical world of staggering breadth and realization” (Scott Reintgen).

The OMG Book Club highlights new, must-read literature available at Glad Day Bookshop, the world’s oldest surviving LGBTQ bookstore (and a great Amazon alternative).

“Before that day, I hadn’t been to church in five Beyoncé albums.”

And we’re off and running with the first essay in Michael Arceneaux‘s moving and funny collection I Can’t Date Jesus. If you’re a fan of David Sedaris, you’ll love Arceneaux’s humor, and we’re pretty sure you’ll learn something as you read story after story from his black, queer Texan perspective.

Arceneaux eloquently writes about coming out to his mother; growing up in Houston, Texas; being approached for the priesthood; his obstacles in embracing intimacy that occasionally led to unfortunate fights with fire ants and maybe fleas; and the persistent challenges of young people who feel marginalized and denied the chance to pursue their dreams.
