Book:The Christmas Throwaway by R.J. Scott
The Christmas Throwaway by R.J. Scott
Page count: 172
How it qualifies: 301 on list The Best of Gay Romance
Rating: 5
Review:
What a wonderful. I am still crying and why? I read it so many times so it should not make cry anymore! It does though. Ben is an police officer who is on his rounds and he finds Zach sleeping on a bench. It was freezing and snowing. Ben forces Zach to come home with him. Ben's family and friends take Zach in and heal the young man's wounds. Physical and mentally. Zach was thrown away by his family for being gay. It is a slow burn as Zach is underage.

Gustaf | 1936 comments Completion Post - Task 13
Book: Sixty Five Hours
Author:N.R. Walker
Pages: 174/GR
Date finished: 13/10/20
How it fits: #171 on the list. https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/9...
Rating/Review: 5 stars

Once again I am blown away by N.R. Walker. Is there anything she can't do? Seriously. Anything? I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy after reading this book.

Lucas (what is it with that name? It's haunting me or something. Every other book I'm choosing right now seems to have an MC named Lucas). Anyway, Lucas and Cameron was perfect together. The way they had each others backs and accepted each other was the best thing to read, it gave me all the feels.
I didn't even mind the whole coming out thing which I usually would hate. Kudos miss Walker. Kudos.

Trip  (shardsofromance) | 2210 comments No problem Emilienne, i've only just started mine and my reading has started to slow lately. Im liking throwing hearts so far, but not sure will finish tonight with my current pace. Sorry team...

I have needed to repeat words and lines to myself in reading a lot lately which very frustrating bad habit sometimes have, usually passes quickly but lately its happening to me every couple pages... Don't know if where im reading a few books, busy/stress from work or bit ocd but its so annoying gives me a headache.

Trip  (shardsofromance) | 2210 comments Im the same Gustaf.

I don't mind sad elements in books as long as theres some sort of happy ending. Its mainly tragic and sad ends that put me off, mc death is an instant im out...

Not going to have my book done tonight, i will wuick finish tomorrow. Half term is a coming so i will hopefully have chace to get back into my relaxing and reading flow, once finish of brs too. I have no additional challenges or brs planned for november so be more chill x

Book: Seconde chance by T.A. Webb
Seconde chance by T.A. Webb
Page count: 234
How it qualifies: #275 on list The Best of Gay Romance (https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/9...)
Rating: not sure I have a rating for this one... 3 stars
Review:
I picked this one because I have to read it for Gang bang quaterly challenge. Like we say, kill two bords with one stone.
And I didn't read the blurb before starting it. Note to myself: I should.
So the book is good I think, the story is beautiful, caracters are nice, and on and on. I liked the kids in this one.
BUT. It's sad for more than 60% of the book, I would say, even if it's a beautiful kind of sadness, and I'm not into sadness right now. So I read the book quickly.
Oh and there's some weird things going on, like the guy does massages, as a therapist, but a handjob is one the way the first time he sees Mark? Big fat no. Don't do that.
