My votes won't help because you haven't read these books yet. Hiroku by Laura Lascarso for YA, Silver Cord for Fiction and Silver Cage for Romance and It's just us here by Christopher X Sullivan for Memoir. :) Have fun with the voting Leyna! :*

How could I forgot about Christopher X, thanks a lot Xia!

Thanks, Xia :*

I'll be honest: me not having read those books does matter but in the great scheme of things it really doesn't, if you know what I mean ;)

It's my second voting here, the 10th overall and there's still no LGBTQAI+ category. And it really pisses me off. I've read very few premieres this year so any friendly advice/suggestion is welcome :)

For me is my first voting and I don't have hopes for an LGBTQ category in the next years. Unless we put pressure and keep introducing LGBTQ books. As of June 2018, the statistics show that GR has 75 million users. Changes happen in IT usually when more than 5% of the users put pressure. We can start a petition :D

Bought but not read :(

It seems like these books are only piling and piling and piling...
I'll need another life or even few more to read them all ;)

I know! It gets me anxiety only thinking about it :((

It is good to be a part of this big LGBT movement. lolololol :D Let's vote! Maybe we can achieve something by voting now, so next year there could actually be an LGBT category.

YAY!!!! Thank you Corinne! :*

Me too, so I will copycat on these whatever the general public recommends, the only caveat they need to be LGBTQ related.

Hear hear!

I second a lot of these! Adara Wolf got Best Debut from me for Under His Heel. I slid Chris in under Memoir. 😊 Also I voted for KJ Charles' Unfit to Print under historical.

Yay for Chris! I can vote for the Unfit to Print under historical. What do we do for fantasy?

Leyna, Gabi, Which Klune did you vote for Fantasy?

I'm open to suggestion on both Fantasy and Horror, I don't have a this-year release for those!

For a fantasy- a Wish upon a star. For a sci fi - the bones beneath my skin

Right away :) Thanks Moni!

Later edit: Done!

Upon the stars. Sorry

On it!

Quil Carter writes mm horrors. But I can't check right now if there was a this year release by him

Mymymble would know about Quil for sure

It looks like his latest few Fallocaust books came out this year

A God Among Insects Volume 3 was out in October. Shall we? :D

Yep! 😁👍

Do we have something for mystery?

KJ Charles and quil’s volume 3 done!

Quil Carter, check. I went with The Wolf at Bay on Mystery because it was my highest rated mystery pub this year, but that's not my strongest genre...

I only read object of desire by dal maclean but it was so-so. I can vote for The Wolf

A Wish Upon The Stars :)

Girls, a massive thanks for all your suggestions :* :* :*

It’s a sheer craziness. I’m on a treadmill right now 😂

We have to band together to have even a whisper of a voice in this process! 💪

What about romance? I still haven't picked one. What did we settle on? The Silver Cage?

Gabi, I voted for the silver cage.

Corinne wrote: "Here are Quil's 2018 books"

Thanks a lot Corrine! I guess it's Quil for horror :)
