#lambdaawards — Public Fediverse posts

Lambda awards are out, so now I can say that I was on the jury in the LGBTQ+ Studies category!

I absolutely loved the winner we chose, Keeping It Unreal: Black Queer Fantasy and Superhero Comics by Darieck Scott.

I was also happy to see a book I blurbed recognized in a different category! All the Hometowns You Can't Stay Away From by @IzzyXen :) Congrats Izzy!!!

I said that it "contains many stories that deal with heart- and gut-wrenching destruction and loss, but this makes the shards of hope gleam all the brighter."

And this is how to buy a copy:
