Alrighty then! Thanks! I think?

Remind me please...do you enjoy reading MM (apart from Wolfsong lol)?"

Usually when there's a female involved I'm cool but not my usual go to genre, hence why it's on the list.

This one is 100% M/M. The kind that Tessa would absolutely hate. So...

Then we shall see! I attempted Bear Kid and the Otter but couldn't get into it.

That was a dnf for me too.

Bad Things is not even in the same universe as BOATK. BT is dark and dirty and Xavier is scary AF ... if you don't like M/M, you're probably not going to like this book.

I don't actually get why ya'll add books to your tbr that you're not interested in reading. I struggle to make sure that every book I add is one that I think will be "my thing" and I still get it wrong and DNF more often than I like to admit.

Hey, aren't you supposed to be traveling? Or is that tomorrow?

[Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications]

PS...I've been dying to re-read BT (for the like the 5th time). I'm so tempted to join you when you read it.

[Ela]

I'm not saying M/M isn't totally my thing, it's just that one attempt and I didn't like it. Wolfsong I LOVED and if you say this is totally different then I'll trust your judgement.

Travelling tomorrow.

Eeek! That would be super cool.

[Ela]

Ok starting now....that bully book is not grabbing my attention...he is being a huge asshole for far too long!

[Grey]

Whoa, whoa, whoa... what 'Bully book'??? you need to be more specific... let us help you... *giggle*

Beautiful Beast by Aubrey Irons that DG recommended. AND I just saw England Bev's review and she did care for it...

[Ela]

I changed my mind! I'm starting Tairen Soul!

Oh shit, I forgot about that one... Oops, LOL, maybe I won't go there, if you didn't like it. Tessa, did you read it?

[Ela]

It's just DRAGGING AND THIS BOOK IS LOOOOOOOOOONG! I'm putting it on hold.

I read my pick, Regret, yesterday. Aptly named. :-( I got to 36% and finally gave up on it. It just wasn't doing it for me.

Thanks for the pick though. One more off mount tbr!

I keep trying. I'm on chapter two and I just am not into it. I'll try again later.

[Lisa]

Fabi - I've decided that you are a tough sell on books. So if find something that is AHHHMAZING, I really need to pay attention to it!!

Ha! Yes. See i find Leslie & Fabi hard to rec to. They said i was.
Ha.

Ha!
Again.

[Leslie]

Oh Bev, stop being fiesty or I will cyber hug you. *grins mischievously*

[Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications]

Lisa,

This one was all on me! I put it on my shelf. ;-)

[Jean]

Ela, I didn't know BT was strictly M/M. That is not my normal genre either. Do you want me to pick something else for you?

I finished my pick, Torn Between Two and loved it......4 stars! I jumped right into book 2 and that was 5 stars for me. This is not your typical rocker story!!!!!

[Melinda]

I'd just like to say Tessa you are "Ace" notice my Australian slang. My book "Bully" is fantastic. I am loving it. I'm at 78% and started it yesterday. Thankyou guys for recommending it. Fabi I love this book sharing. Thankyou for persisting with me. Kisses to all. 😊

[Tessa]

:D I'm so glad you are loving it. It really is one of my favorite books of all time.

[Paula]

Oooh rockstar book...and I have the first one! That's what I going to read next!

[Leslie]

Paula, I am reading it too!!

[Leslie]

Wait...Paula, are you talking about this rock star book ?

[Melinda]

Paula wrote: "Oooh rockstar book...and I have the first one! That's what I going to read next!"

What book is that Paula?

[Melinda]

Leslie wrote: "Paula, I am reading it too!!"

Is it good Leslie, what book is it?

[Paula]

Yes Leslie that's the one - at 97% of my current read and then will be straight on to it

[Leslie]

I only just started , but Jean read the duet and loved it.

[Melinda]

Add it to the list......omg its exploding have you seen Maryse's list. Looks like lots of good ones there and there's a new Colleen Hoover book. Have you read "At this moment" it's a rock star book and it's really great. I think it was Paula's rec.

Wait until you read Until You. *Tosses glitter* Squee, I may need to do a reread... I'm in a horrible rut.

Would you believe I have already read it. I was talking to my daughter today who had read it and she said to me there's a sequel from his prospective and I said the book seems familiar and looked up my kindle and there it was. But I'm still loving it.

Read "At this. Moment" by Karen Cimms you will love it. Rockstar book. There's 3 books from memory. But it's really good.

[Paula]

Have you read "At this moment" it's a rock star book..." Yes that was my recommendation - loved the three books - something a bit different from the rockstar norm. Glad you liked them

[Lisa]

I finished and it was a 4 star read for me. Loved the characters, it was the storyline that tripped me up and I should have known better. Animal cruelty or animals dying is one of my super-triggers, so it was a bit of a tough read. Not to say it wasn't a good book, because it really was!!

No, that's fine. I put it there for a reason and Fabi loved it...
