ALA's Gay, Lesbian, Bi, Transgender Round Table put out their Rainbow List at the end of January. It includes their recommendations for GLBT books published between 2004 and 2007. It's now my new reading list. I've read a few...Tango Makes Three, Freakshow, to name a few. But mainly it's uncharted territory for me. I'm a bit appalled at the general lack of GLBT books being published for kids, and judging from the first two on the list I've started reading I'm a bit appalled at the literary quality of the list so far. Get writing folks! I'll keep you posted though. The first few chapters have been bleak in Far from Xanadu (girl associates as a male which means cursing and lifting weights - very flat and predictable character and plot development) but perhaps it's just a slow beginning.
Meanwhile, check out the list and let me know what you've read and can recommend.
