I listened to Aristotle and Dante as a book on tape, which really slowed it down for me. I think I might have liked it more at my reading pace.Katie TheLogonautshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01692992719352402255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722037294375418886.post-60684718518179241502016-11-16T15:04:34.297-06:002016-11-16T15:04:34.297-06:00Exactly, Jane.

One that didn't get a Stonewall, but I also really enjoyed was The Marvels.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662811441487822589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722037294375418886.post-86165243906814854602016-11-06T15:53:19.585-06:002016-11-06T15:53:19.585-06:00I love ALL of these books so very much.

I really love the fact that we're finally starting to get a bit more diversity of theme and tone in LGBTQ books - while we still need coming-out stories and darker stories, there is such a need for positive, uplifting stories, as well as stories in which being LGBTQ is just a reality, rather than the sole focus of the story. Thank you for sharing these!!
