Is a gay male never attracted by females and a lesbian female by males?
Is “A Thousand Pieces of You” valid for time travel challenge? As far as I read from its back cover the book is related to dimensions not time travel. However, the book is at the list written link in this topic. If it’s accepted as time travel I will start to read it.
It’s inter dimensional travel, not time travel, so I don’t think that would count. Sorry:(
if a gay Male is attracted to females as well that actually makes him bisexual right?
If people just said "you should definitely read that book/serie" can it count as a recommendation?

So this is my definition, correct me if I'm wrong. Gay men can feel attraction towards females but not romantic love. The same way, lesbian women can feel attraction towards males, but not romantic love.

How it fits the Prompt: One of my online friends, Riya, has been telling me how good the Percy Jackson series is ever since I started reading the Harry Potter series so I finally decided to to pick it up and I'm loving them so far!
Well, I suppose so, because the prompt doesn’t specify if the book has to be about time travel. It just says that it has time travel in it.
Could 1 book count for 2 prompts? I had a Goodreads friend recommend me a book about time travel.
