Wow - that's generous in prizes and sounds like fun; I hope you get lots of takers for it.(Group note - this is not sponsored, verified or run by this YA LGBT Books Group, but is Julia's personal project and prizes.)
It's been really popular so far! I usually do something big and bookish during Pride Month. I didn't have time to do the whole Queer YA Scrabble this year, though :(
I can imagine it would be a lot to organize.
Cool challenge. What a great way to celebrate pride! Hope you get lots of participants.
I thought I'd share LGBTQ Reads' YA book recommendations list.Also, Freakboy by Kristin Elizabeth Clark is on sale for $2.99 today.
I love the idea Julia! It's a shame I don't write reviews (since I already have half of the week one's challenge done; finished If I Was Your Girl on Monday).
Good luck everyone!
