Hi-just wondering if someone could tell me which of deLint's books would qualify for this challenge? I usually listen to one book and read another-and it's so confusing if both are fantasy or both are scifi-so I'd like a fantasy rec!
Thanks


I wish I could help you but I'm unfamiliar with the author! Um... might help to check goodreads and see which ones are tagged as LGBT lit? (The actual tag might read "gay and lesbian," can't remember exactly.)

So Benjanun Sriduangkaew -- she was a finalist for the John W. Campbell Award this year -- is about to release her novella Scale-Bright, which qualifies for the LGBT, Authors of Color, WoGF, Books Released in 2014, Fantasia, and Short Fiction challenge. I received an ARC so I've read it and it's... pretty amazing y'all. It's urban fantasy, which is not normally thing, and there's a strong romantic subplot, which is not normally my thing either. But there's also Chinese mythic fiction, which is my thing, and -- well, let's just say that I predict this one will Win Awards, and it's one of the most enjoyable works I've read this year in spite of so much in it not being my thing exactly. Strongly recommended.
