If, like me, grade school brings back memories of propping a book under your desk with subject matter as far from the building’s halls as you could find, September is ready for you with plenty of speculative fiction titles. If you want YA but have a hankering for thrills (Halloween isn’t that far away after all), try The Killing Code, a historical serial killer mystery about a young codebreaker in 1940s Virginia. If this sounds familiar, or you’ve got a younger cousin with a birthday coming up, return to high school with The 99 Boyfriends of Micah Summers, a charming YA romance with a New York subway missed connections quest.

Whether you’re getting ready for a new school year, anticipating the return of all things pumpkin spice, or just mildly to moderately shocked and horrified by how fast the year has gone by, we’ll have something to pique your interest in September’s installment of our most anticipated LGBTQIA+ book releases.ĭo you remember shopping for school supplies? Are you nostalgic for the halcyon days of yore, when you trawled Staples for the sleekest model of three ring binder, maybe enclosed in a zipper with a bright fabric cover? Or perhaps you preferred the classic plastic edition, with its endless potential for customization through your very own 8.5 x 11 cover slipped into the front pocket. The heat is breaking and autumn is just around the corner as we enter the last stretch of 2022. September’s Most Anticipated LGBTQIA+ Literature
