First and foremost, the Speak Its Name Advent calendar opens today. This is a seriously good thing, with (if past years are anything to go by) excellent posts every day and plenty of goodies to be won. Participants include some of the biggest names in GLBT romance/fiction writing.

Now, a bit of squee. elisa_rolle named Lessons in Love among her Top Gay books of the XXI century. And there was a lovely review for Music in the Midst of Desolation over at Cryselle's bookshelf. I love it when a reviewer really 'gets' the story: "these guys are literally on the side of the angels; they will do the work honorably".
