• This year, there is no form/genre restriction (you can read whatever you want – young adult, new adult, adult, erotica, nonfiction, manga – as long as its LGBT)

Yeaaahhh. So I’m gonna go with the obvious choice here, and pick Omnivorous Bookglutton as my level. I’m even going to go a little farther and set my goal for 57 books. (Don’t ask why I chose that number. I haven’t a clue.)

2. Wonderland (Volume 5) by Raven Gregory & Eric M. Esquivel (Writers); J.G. Miranda (Artist) (GN/OTHER)
