Dreaming In Books

Well, April is over and so is LGBTQ Voice 2012.  It's been an amazing year for guest posts and interviews despite my own trouble in finding the time to set it up, and I can't thank the authors, readers, and other participants enough for making this an amazing two weeks.  LGBTQ literature for young adults has come so far in the past few years, and I hope that it only grows in its scope and quality as readers become more aware of what it has the potential to become.

Now, here's a little recap of all of the interviews/guest posts/reviews done for the event:

And here are the two giveaways I'm hosting for it - I've decided to just have everything end a week from now, May 10th, in case readers missed the giveaways and would like a chance at winning some *awesome* books and swag.

Giveaway:  Digital Copy of Hunted

Giveaway:  Signed Copy of Way to Go

Giveaway:  Signed Copy of The Miseducation of Cameron Post & Swag

And, finally, the Giant Book Giveaway of Awesome!  Readers, you will have a chance to win a box with these titles (and maybe some mystery titles, too) along with some random young adult book swag that I will sprinkle in there as best I can.  Here are the current titles planned for the giveaway (all going to one winner, by the way).

Note that I often like to add in "surprise" titles if I have them on hand, but all of the books listed will definitely be a part of the giveaway.
