LAST MINUTE CHANGES!!May's title is the classic Annie on my Mind by Nancy Garden. Audrey's bookstore says they might be able to get a few in by mid-month so check it out. It should be readily available in lots of places, it's a pretty mainstream title. This is a young adult title, considered a classic. According to wikipedia, Annie was a step forward for LGBT young adult literature because being gay is treated as something permanent and to be explored, not something that needs to be fixed. The School Library Journal included the book in its list of the 100 most influential books of the 20th century.
June's title is Six Metres of Pavement by Farzana Doctor. Farzana has offered to join us via the phone for that meeting! July we'll go with Monique Truong's The Book of Salt.
Thanks to everyone for the discussion of Seven Moves at our last get-together. It was great... Very thought-provoking discussion.
Some more reading list ideas - Malinda Lo's Ash seems very interesting - another young adult novel including a girl who's bisexual and there seem to be fairies involved. Another intriguing title is Keeping You a Secret, by Julianne Peters. Think about it!
