Queereaders discussion

We're now accepting nominations for June - July.

Please read the rules for nominating BEFORE you create your post!! And check our bookshelves to be sure you are not nominating something we have already read as a group!

We will have two categories this month:
Cat1- LGBT Fiction/Non-Fiction
Cat2- Romance


Only ONE nomination per person.
If you nominate a book for category 1, you CANNOT nominate a book for category 2, and visa versa.

Please be sure to post the title, author, and the category it belongs to.

If your post does not have those three things, it will not be counted.

Wow is it that time already? Gosh this year is moving fast.

I started a little earlier than usual. :)

How about Ash by Malinda Lo. It's on our bookshelf but I don't think we read it as a group yet.It's Cat1.

I'll nominate Promises by Marie Sexton for Category 2. It's available in both eBook and Paperback format from Dreamspinner Press.

i'll nominate Love You Two for category 1. i haven't read it, but it looks interesting, and is one of the finalists for the lambda literary awards of 2010. (as is Ash)

Cat1 - Closer To Fine by Meri Weiss

ooh, that looks good, nancy.

I can't remember now how I learned about it.

Any more nominations?

Would it be bad form to nominate myself? =D

Authors can nominate themselves, as long as they are willing to participate in the discussion.

what do you think about the idea that if an author nominates him/herself (and wins) then we have a q and a with the author as part of the discussion?

I'd humbly like to throw my book Kelland into the mix as well for Category 1

I think that's a wonderful idea, Emilie!

Last call for nominations!

The polls are up!

For some reason, the second poll only got sent to 225 members per Goodreads limitations. So I'll send it out again tomorrow and hope no one yells at me for spamming them. :)

If Kelland ends up the choice, I'm sure I can find something to say. ;-)

Kelland and Ash are now tied at 10 votes each!

Oh wow. Now that's cool. Glad Kelland survived the battle with Ash. I'm around to discuss if and when people work their way through.

Thanks all!

I'm planning to start Kelland when I'm finished with Saying Uncle, which I was thrilled to find at the library.

I HAVE to pick up Gifune now.

BTW...Juniper brought this up in another thread but I can't find it. My publisher has been temporarily out of stock of Kelland for a few days (they got hit with an influx of orders that took them by surprise). But I noticed today that Casperian updated the website that

New stock is due to arrive on June 3rd, 2010

So if anyone has been trying to order direct from the pub, there's the update. And I think US Amazon still has a few, but I haven't checked in a while.
