LGBT Challenge 2015

Here is one that is new to me.  Sign up here for this one. Details:

The LGBT Challenge is back for its second year here on Niji Feels (formerly known as Fighting Dreamer)! Stock your shelves/wishlist with LGBT books and get ready for a(nother) year of LGBT-awesomeness!!

The Details:

• The challenge runs from 1 January through 31 December 2015
• Like last year, each month there will be a mini challenge/theme/list/thingy
• This year, there is no form/genre restriction (you can read whatever you want – young adult, new adult, adult, erotica, nonfiction, manga – as long as its LGBT)
• And the LGBT in the challenge’s name does not mean just LGBT, you can read any book that falls under the L(esbian) G(ay) B(isexual) T(ransexual) T(ransgender) Q(ueer) Q(uestioning) I(ntersex) A(sexual)+ spectrum
• There will be link ups throughout the year (but the setup is going to be a little different from last year)
• All formats (print books, ebooks, audiobooks, comics) are eligible
• Books can overlap with other challenges
• (At… certain times) there will be surprise giveaways, as well as one big giveaway at the end of the year ;)

1. Write a post joining the challenge (you have to have a blog to participate)
