Opening the Doors!

January 18th, 2010 by Emily / 1,164 views

Hello to all and we’re officially opening the doors!  Yes, what we have here my fellow readers and authors is a brand spanking new book review site.  :-)  It’s been about a month in the making as we built the foundation…then knocked down a few walls and built them up again.  Our vision the entire time was to create a website that was both easy to read and easy to navigate and was a resource for readers interested in the GLBTQ genre.

You might be asking yourself right now, “Do we really need another review site?”  Well of course my answer is yes and here’s why.  There are absolutely a lot of review sites and blogs out there right now, but very few sites are focused solely on GLBTQ books.  Of those that do review books in the GLBTQ category, the majority are reviewing solely books with gay male characters.  Our goal for the site as a whole is to feature reviews of books from all facets of the queer rainbow: gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer and more.  If it’s as queer as a three dollar bill, then it will fit in perfectly here.

With several years of reviewing experience between our reviewers, and even more years spent reading GLBTQ books, our goal is to share our thoughts and experiences with other readers as well as provide thorough, quality reviews.  Added to that will be posts that cover a variety of topics such as in depth discussions of different publishers, the best and worst of ebook sellers, current trends in the market, and just about anything our brains feel the need to expound upon.

So welcome to all and hope you enjoy the new site!
