Stonewall Book Awards 2011

I don't want to scare people away and I am by no means turning this into a LGBT only book blog but I do want to shine a light on some of the LGBT lit out there that is worth taking a look at since often times its not mainstream and many people may not have heard of these titles.  The ALA announced the 2011 Stonewall Book Awards on January 10th.
