Random quote: "Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space." - Douglas Adams - (Added by: Administrator) |

Uber User Posts: 770 Location: SC, USA | I just realized that almost one half of the books that I have read this year are written by LGBT authors or feature LGBT characters. I'm thinking of recycling last year's LGBT challenge if anyone else interested. If I do this, I will offer the typical reading levels of 12, 9, 6 and 3. Any takers? Rhonda | ||

Extreme Veteran Posts: 306 | I might add this challenge! I did it last year and found at least one new author I'd read again. Which books have you read recently? | ||

Uber User Posts: 770 Location: SC, USA | I am currently reading Scale Bright by Benjanun Sriduangkaew. I just finished Trouble on Triton by Samuel Delany. The other books I've read are Veronica Schanoes' The Burning Girls, Jo Walton's The Just City, and Lauren Owen's The Quick. That's 5 of 13 books. I guess I could count Ancillary Justice as well, since everyone's gender and sexuality is a bit of a mystery in that book! | ||

Uber User Posts: 770 Location: SC, USA | Okay, I have set it up to start Apr. 1. Dave, can you add the banner? Thanks, Rhonda | ||

Extreme Veteran Posts: 306 | I wonder if any one has seen the G+ post on the college student at Oberlin who has amassed a 800+ book database of speculative fiction addressing diversity? Doublediamond.net I haven't looked at it closely yet but it looks like a good resource. | ||

Uber User Posts: 613 Location: New Zealand | I've joined. Can you back date the challenge to January, rather than April? I've already read a few books this year I could add for the challenge, but if it starts in April they don't count! | ||

Uber User Posts: 770 Location: SC, USA | I was going to put up a note saying that anything from the 2015 challenges count. I will fix it later when I am on my computer--not my iPad. Welcome to the challenge! | ||
