The current list of nominees has been updated, and it's already a big list. For those of you keeping track at home, we're looking roughly 100 books listed. The deadline for submissions is still more than a month away (December 15th), so I suspect that list will grow over the coming weeks.
Some notable mentions to date include:
Transgender
The Color of Sunlight
, by Michelle Alexander (I just may have to add this to my to-read list)Diana Comet and Other Improbable Stories
, by Sandra McDonald (already on my list)LGBT Anthology
Dear John, I Love Jane: Women Write about Leaving Men for Women
, edited by Candace Walsh and Laura Andre (sounds interesting . . . might be worth picking up)LGBT SF/Fantasy/Horror
The Called
, by Warren Rochelle (sounds interesting, but I suspect you need to read Harvest of Changelings
first to really follow it)Disturbed by Her Song
, by Tanith Lee (a wonderful author . . . I love her style)Wilde Stories 2010: The Year’s Best Gay Speculative Fiction
, edited by Steve Berman (check out my review here) Lesbian Debut Fiction
Always Faithful
, by Isabella (I suspect I may need a box of tissues for this one)Lesbian General Fiction
Mephisto Aria
, by Justine Saracen (definitely on my list - as soon as I finish her Ibis Prophecy 
series)Sub Rosa
, by Amber Dawn (now this one sounds really interesting . . .) Lesbian Mystery
Rachel Cord, PI: ‘Still a Bitch’
, by R.E. Conary (now this one sounds fun!)Well, that's it for this morning. I still have a lot of reading up to do on the other nominees, so I'll update the rest of my notable mentions as soon as I get a chance to finish the list. With so many new authors and so many categories, I really want to take my time and make sure I don't miss a hidden gem that I'll regret later.
Of course, if there are any nominees that caught your eye, please let me know!
