Launching: GLBT YA Festival
Hey guys! This is totally a spur of the moment idea, but I decided to dedicate the next few weeks to GLBT YA books. While doing the usual, I also am going to read and review 1 or more books with gay teen characters/week. My two favorites are YA and M/M (male/male erotica), but I realized I only read a handful of GLBT young adult books. And yes, I have quite a pile of them, I just never got around to read them. *shame on me* It's time to change that! In the next few weeks I'm going to tackle these pretties one by one! :)
Edit #1: added more books
Edit #2: I keep finding myself adding books to my glbt ya list, so I decided to extend the challenge deadline to December 31, 2012.
Edit #3: I'm a little behind on schedule, but things should pick in the next few days. - Oct. 24.
