Quick question: May we nominate more than one book?
@Mzcue: I believe we have it set up to allow only one nomination per IP address.
@Jane: Thanks. I’ll choose carefully.
@Mzcue: On SBTB, Sarah said she fixed the form so readers could nominate more than one book. I think you just have to fill out multiple forms.
Yay for mainstreaming the GLBTQ books!!
@jewel – agreed! It makes so much more sense, and it makes it easier for readers who haven’t tried LGBTQ romance yet to choose something in their preferred sub-genre.
I asked this on SBTB too – are there any f/f on the list? I see a trans m/f romance (His Fair Lady) and several m/m but I’m not familiar enough with f/f to tell.
Wow, I read 10 on this list. I’m amazed.
I just want to add to the voices that are happy to see that the GLBTQ books are in the genre they each belong rather then having them duke it out against one another when they are so different.
@cleo: The Sara Waters book features lesbian characters.
