Summary

Modern-day American "prince" Ellis Faraday has a problem: he's been a frog for a year, his time before hibernation is ending, and he's afraid there will be nothing left of him come spring. The castle-house up the hill seems like a promising place to start looking for a cure… if he can convince a human to take him seriously. A conversation—and maybe a kiss—with the pretty man who owns the koi pond might do the trick.


On a Friday night, Galen Townsend just wants to curl up and read in the backyard of the house he shares with his brothers, but the frog addressing him from the wall of the koi pond has him questioning his sanity. Moreso when he gives the frog a peck on the nose—just to be nice—and the frog becomes a handsome, precious man.


Unfortunately, Galen's "cure" proves temporary. After a few hours, Ellis is back to hopping and croaking, but at least he has an ally and a warm place to stay. Now they just have to keep Galen's brothers from discovering a frog in the house while they work out how to break the spell. How many kisses can it possibly take?

    Keller 
    Banging my son’s bestie was a total accident that will never, ever happen again. I’m sure of it. 
    While he might be gorgeous and caught me in a weak moment, when it comes right down to it, my son has been my entire life for the last twenty-six years. I don’t know how to be anything other than his dad. 
    But with Molly heading off to Seattle, he leaves me with a parting gift: Will. 
    His best friend. 
    And my new roommate. 
    Still, I’m determined to focus on my plan of finding someone to settle down with and to start living for me. 
    Then Molly hits me with another gift: he’s asked Will to help find me the perfect partner. 
    Will 
    Molly leaving me to run away across the country made one thing very obvious. I crave stability. I crave a life where I get to control what happens to me, without the constant threat of having to move home to my homophobic family. 
    All I need to focus on is work and making enough money for the downpayment on my own place. 
    Except now I’m living in the spare bedroom of the man I’ve been in love with for years. 
    The same bedroom where we had one very messy, very quick, accidental frot sesh. 
    Now I’m cooking for him every night, and we’re working out together every morning. It’s all feeling very domestic and my heart can’t separate reality from the fantasies in my head. 
    I know I’m going to get hurt. 
    It’s only a matter of time. 
    But when it comes to Keller, it’s impossible for me to walk away.

    "Hmmm, an alien, an angel, and a dead prophet. Welcome. We've been expecting you. Please come in." 
      
    Operating a piece of heavy machinery, for example, a time machine under the influence of tainted human blood, is never a good idea, especially if my oldest friend and onboard computer, Lasitor, vowed to protect not only me but my bloodline for eternity. 
      
    This is my story. If you haven't figured that out by now, I feel sorry for you and your parents. Anyhow, this is how I found my soulmate by accident in a time and place not written down in your human history books.  
      
    My story comes with a warning label. It is a time travel, speculative science fiction fantasy—I'm spelling it out for those slow to grasp things like this. It contains elements that might shock or confuse you. Your human history about where you came from, and where you think you are going, might or might not be as you imagined. The explicit, graphic depictions of my love life and my travels are unsuitable for young, sensitive readers or anyone offended by gay sex. 
      
    Thank you to the wonderful author who has taken the time to meticulously document everything.

    Set over one hot summer, a startlingly assured debut about the kinds of love that break us and make us whole. 
    Seventeen–year–old Jean, a troubled Jewish boy caught in the countercultural swirl of 1970s London, arrives at Compton Manor, a rural alternative boarding school for boys with “problems.” Dyslexic, antisocial, and prone to violent outbursts, Jean has never made friends easily and school has never been a place of safety or enjoyment. 
    Compton Manor is his last chance, but even here, despite the unconventional teaching methods, Jean is marked by difference. The other boys are fee–paying, while Jean is on a grant; they have good, English families, while Jean’s mother, Rosa, is a German–Jewish refugee and his father is an absent memory. Having broken the rules several times, Jean is on thin ice. But there is only one summer to get through and then Jean will pass his exams and get out. 
    All of a sudden, he is befriended by Tom—confident, charming, buoyed by years of good breeding and privilege—and it seems as if Jean’s world might change. When things turn romantic, Jean is tipped into a heady, overwhelming infatuation. Now Jean skips class to venture into the woods, or sneaks across moonlit fields to see Tom, wondering whether the relationship might offer a way out of a life marked by alienation. But what if the only true path to freedom is to disappear altogether. 
    Spellbinding and evocative, Jean is a meditative narrative of loss and escape distilled into the heartrending story of an intense and dangerous adolescent love.

    Four Black Japanese gay men team up to exact revenge in a culture where discrimination is deep-seated. A searing, darkly funny debut from the Akutagawa Prize–winning author. 
      
    Nobody at the corporate offices of Athletius Japan knows much about the massage therapist, Jackson—but rumors abound. He used to work as a model. He likes to party. He’s mixed race—half-Japanese, half-somewhere-in-Africa-n. He might be gay. Fueling the gossip is the sudden appearance of a violent pornographic video featuring a man who looks a lot like Jackson. 
      
    When Jackson serendipitously meets three other queer mixed-race guys, he learns he’s not the only one being targeted. Together they concoct a plan: find out who’s responsible and, in the meantime, switch identities and play tricks on people—a boyfriend, a boss—who’ve wronged them, exploiting the fact that nobody can seem to tell them apart. 
      
    A short, blistering gut punch of a novel, Jackson Alone is at turns satirical and deadpan, angry and tender—a frank exploration of identity, race, and queerness in contemporary Japan that announces Jose Ando as a singular new talent in the global literary scene.
