A Fourth of July Thank You
July fourth is the day Americans (also known as "citizens of the United States" to the rest of the inhabitants of North America) celebrate their nation's founding and give thanks for the liberties we love and too seldom fully appreciate.
In that spirit, I want to thank Elisa Rolle. If you don't know who Elisa Rolle is, check out this entry from the Chicks & Dicks review site, which I might add is also well worth bookmarking.
Why am I thanking Elisa, besides her truly ground-breaking work in providing, if not the very first, an early home for gay book reviews? I'm also thanking her for including My Life as a Myth among the contenders for the 2013 Rainbow Awards.

My Life as a Myth receives honorable mention!

"Cherie: This book should be required reading for every high school student, assigned of the first day of school in their freshman year. Wow. I honestly believe it could do a great deal to eradicate bullying of every sort, and might well help more than one scared, lonely and hurting kid survive long enough to understand that people aren't just mouthing platitudes when they say it will get better. Frankly, the book is so well written that even the kids on the other side of the bullying equation would be drawn in, and learn what it's like to be the kid bullied. It might well save them too."
