How do you choose the books you read? I pay attention to the description of the book...how else would I choose among the thousands?
I pay attention to the cover, to the title, to the description, to the blurbs written by authors I know.
If I read "lesbians in space" in the BOOK's blurbs (not some critic on the web), I probably wouldn't read it.
I might well read: Captain Julie Swan takes on the galaxies worst criminals in this fast space brawling space opera. If you wondered what Jack Reacher might be like in space...read this book.
It could turn out that Julie is a gay woman and it wouldn't bother me. But if the description of the book, by the author/publisher was " lesbians in space" -- no thank you.
