MAY TOP 5 :
>	El Dorado by Dorothy Porter Holding your launch at H&H is a sure way of getting #1 in our top sellers!
>	My Lucky Star by Joe Keenan We know there are a lot of fans of Philip Cavanaugh and Gilbert Selwyn. It is just taking them a long time to get around to reading the new one. Since it takes a long time for Keenan to write them I suppose that it is understandable.
>	Men Who Love Men by William J. Mann Like Pirates, Shrek & Oceans, this is the 3rd in the very popular series chronicling the relationships of a group of friends in Provincetown.
>	Boston Boys Club by Johnny Diaz It has been a quiet year for gay romances as Kensington Press seems to have scaled back on their gay novels. May this be the start of a new batch for cosy winter reading.
>	When Dreams Tremble by Radclyffe At least it cannot be said that lesbian romance is dying. Hell, Radclyffe on her own is keeping the girls happy!

EVENTS

NEW REALEASES




Dark Reflections by Samuel R. Delany	The Child by Sarah Schulman	Always by Nicola Griffith
A reflection on the sad life of a fictitious gay back poet, Arnold Hawley. He is a lonely soul who through self loathing and fear hasn't lived life except through literature and his own works. Made all the more interesting because the author started his own career as a poet, and this seems like it could be a what if... alternate memoir.	One of our most articulate observers of heterosexual cruelty and gay resistance, Schulman delviers her eighth novel, about a teen who kills after his online lover is jailed for pedophilia, Word is she doesn't hold back in this book about online predators, AIDS, and mental deterioration – Advocate	Stylish lesbian action heroine Aud Torvingen knows how to multitask. While wrestling with grief over her lost lover and reckonng with her mother, she unleashes the unlikely female warriors in her martial arts class, gets into an erotic tangle, and roots out injustice on a Seattle film set.

STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS


		Michael Tolliver Lives by Armistad Maupin Authors can't get bigger than Mr. Maupin. 30 years after the first of the Tales of the City volume comes a neat revisit of Michael, Brian, Mary-Ann and Anna. We also learn the fate of many of the other regular characters. Maupin peppers the book with many pop references and references to changing aspects of contemporary gay life. Like all of the Tales volumes it is completely anchored in the moment and will over the years be seen as a time capsule of the mid-00s.

		Landing by Emma Donoghue Accomplished Irish novelist Donoghue turns her pen to an old-fashioned girl-meets-girl romantic Comedy. "It's about a world traveller and one who's never traveled, who connect, fall in love, and try to sort themselves out across the distances," also recommended Donoghue's short story collection Touchy Subjects (its been way too slow a seller for something so good. – Advocate #987

Dahlia Season: Stories and a Novella by Myriam Gurba	Pierce by Roberto C. Ferrari	Jesus for the Non-Religious by Bishop John Shelby Spong	Woof! A Gay Man's Guide to Dogs by Andrew DePrisco
Looking for a fresh edgy voice that could rival Michelle Tea? Try this collection about a Chicana goth baby dyke who's sent to a Catholic School to get rid of her weirdness. We all know how that helps, right? asks Galloway (Advocate # 987) whose ears pricked when he heard the main character's best friend is an 'ex-carny trannyboi"	Dead lovers make for good reads-even Joan Didion got in on the act. But Pierce takes it one step further-Leo's lover Matt dies, and then Matt's mother tries to kill herself. Apparently death is better than facing the secrets that one's family has kept for years. It's a powerful look at love and all the things it can and can't do for you. News Weekly	One must admire the determinatin of Spong. In scores of books he has inisisted on bringing the public up to date on the past 200 years of biblical scholarship on Jesus... Spong's account of how the New Testament used verses from the Psalms and Old Testament figures reads like a good detective story. He aims to show Jesus as a man whose life was embroidered into a sacred cloth by biblically iinformed writers, who drew lavishly on the symbolism of the Jewish holy days. – The Australian	Representation is so important and with little around for H&H's shop-dogs Dusty and Rita, this title is a welcome addition. After a mini picture story book boom for the gayby set, it's about time the queer pet boom was recognized. And if either Dusty or Rita follow you out of the store after you buy a copy, please bring them back home!
