Oh my goodness, Fiona. This is wonderful, thank you so much!

This is my most recent, which will be released as a film later this month. It's all first person narrative, and one of the best books I've read in a very long time.

Click on the picture and it will take you to Goodreads.

I am currently re-reading Try, Take, Trust by Ella Frank - I put the pictures of the books in the thread. I recently discovered there were two more to follow on so I read these 3 again first to remind myself of the story

Hey Deborah - is that book sad? I don't like sad books

I read the first 4, Fiona. I loved Tate and Logan.

About Call Me By Your Name: I cried my eyes out. Not because of sadness, but wistfulness and beauty. I read it again the night before last, and it impacted me even more than the first. It was so beautiful.

P.S. no one dies, gets a disease or is in a tragic accident

I hope you do, Daggi.

Let's work on the OP, by resizing pics like we did for the movie threads, etc. Then we can add more books too. Okay?

You did? OMG...you get to hear Armie Hammer narrating! That man's voice!

EDIT: I just signed up for a free month and downloaded it. This narrater is the one who plays Oliver in the movie.
