Comments for GLBT Challenge 2010
GLBT Challenge 2010: 11/16/09
The basic idea of this challenge is to read books about GLBT topics and/or by GLBT authors.
The challenge runs year-round, and there will be three levels of participation:
- Lambda Level: Read 4 books.
- Pink Triangle Level: Read 8 books.
- Rainbow Level: Read 12 or more books.
You don't need to choose your books right away, and they can change at any time. Overlaps with other challenges are fine.
In January, I will put up a post for you to leave links to your reviews, if you like. Those links can help serve as a reference for others. That will also be how I track participants for prize drawings.
Prizes! There will be prizes, both for this main challenge and for various mini-challenges throughout the year. Keep an eye on the blog for details.
I'm not going to post a list. Lists on challenges stress me out and I rarely end up following my original plan. I have a number of books in my to be read pile that qualify. I could easily do the Pink Triangle level but being within site of San Francisco (if I stand at the top of my street), I'm going for the Rainbow!
Below I'm including books I have already read that qualify for the challenge to give you some ideas on what you could read. Come on and join me!

Hi folks
Sounds fun. Can I get in an info mailing list or something of the like? I was supposed to be reviewing for a GLBT magazine, but that might have fizzled out. We'll see.
