Wrapping up YA Pride 2013
Thank you to everyone who stopped by my website this past month to read about LGBT YA during my YA Pride theme month. I have to give a special thanks to the writers who wrote guest posts for me, and the authors who agreed to be interviewed. A lot of work went into this month, and it wasn’t only on my part. I really appreciated everyone’s contributions.

Correction
I’ve learned that I missed one 2013 LGBT YA book in my post on 2013 LGBT YA by the Numbers: Replica by Jenna Black (Tor Teen), a sci-fi novel featuring two protagonists, one of whom is gay. I’ve noted this omission in the original post.
