Tracking YA LGBT books

Author and blogger Malinda Lo is doing something really fascinating.

In this post and others, she lists all of this year's YA novels with LGBT characters from a short list of (I believe) US presses, and then breaks down a bunch of statistics about them.

I found it interesting reading. She closes with an exhortation for people to write more books with non-straight characters -- I'm doing my part so far! :)

Update to Malinda Lo's list

Blogger and author Malinda Lo is keeping track of all the YA LGBT titles published by a selected bunch of US publishers in 2012. "Fair Catch" made her quarterly list that includes June.

Looks like a good resource for books in this genre -- she has a "YA Pride" tag for all the posts that are tracking the new releases.
