New discussion forums

A couple of links that may be of interest:

Elisa Rolle has a new Italian/English dual language romance blog. Author interviews, excerpts, articles about the history of romance and more at Rosa is for Romance, all in both English and Italian. (She's still posting her English-language reviews at elisa_rolle.) If you're interested in the romance genre, there's some good stuff here, and while it's in blog format, discussion is welcome in the comment threads.

Read the Rainbow is a discussion forum for readers of gay-themed books of all genres. From the "about the forum":

I'd like it to be a place where folks from all sorts of other lists and blogs and forums and groups can get together to chat about gay books, gay authors, and gay films; discuss various issues about gay writing; make recommendations; pass on news or new book titles; and generally have fun!

I've found it useful for book recommendations that go into a reasonable amount of depth.
