This month two celebrity memoirs—Ricky Martin‘s Me and Portia de Rossi‘s Unbearable Lightness—will make likely bestsellers. Expect to see Martin and de Rossi on magazine covers all month.

Lambda Literary Award Finalists Shawn Stewart Ruff, Armistead Maupin, David Levithan, Tracey Richardson,  and winner, Radclyffe all have new books out this month. One of our most anticipated books for fall, French import Hate: A Romance by Tristan Garcia also comes out this month from FSG.

Following the success of Tom Ford’s A Single Man it’s not surprising to see the release of a new Christopher Isherwood essay collection from Harper titled The Sixties: Diaries: 1960-1969.

Blogger Gina Daggett‘s debut novel, Jukebox, published by Bella Books, is getting a lot of attention. A feature film adaptation of the novel is already in pre-production.

Dash & Lily's Book of Dares By Rachel Cohn; David Levithan

Dash and Lily’s Book of Dares
by David Levithan & Rachel Cohn
(Knopf Books for Young Readers)

Dash and Lily is a joy to read; every page laced with snarky humor, youthful excitement, and dawning insight. You may leave this book like I leave all of theirs – a little bitter and longing (my high school experience wasn’t filled with healthy, exciting romance and gay people at every turn), but also happy and hopeful – this is how it can be for people coming of age, as it is becoming more often. Books like these create a world of potential and possibilities, and a little bit of magic. [Read the review]

Mary Ann in Autumn A Tales of the City Novel

Mary Ann in Autumn
A Tales of the City Novel
by Armistead Maupin
(Harper)

Armistead Maupin’s mastery continues to blaze through his latest ‘Tales of the City’ novel. Maupin’s groundbreaking and wildly popular ‘Tales’ raised the bar to a height that would be hard for anyone, perhaps even Maupin himself, to match. Here’s hoping that the publication of Mary Ann in Autumn does more than serve as a tie-in to the launch of the musical based on the ‘Tales of the City’ series set for a 2011 opening in San Francisco.
