    MOST MEMORABLE READS WITH THE LETTER G:

    https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1444981863l/25893424.jpg
    review here

    Lord Richard Vane over there needs a shirt and his valet David Cyprian is always happy to provide. Lord Richard Vane is in love with his valet and David is only too happy to reciprocate. Old Foxy here has been in love with his lord since forever. However, his lord is a stuck in the mud stubborn ass who thinks it’s not right for his lordship fall in love outside his station. Thus ensued major class conflict, angst and a whole lot of USTs. One of the best MM historical novels.

    This Le Miz-inspired novel featured hot-blooded revolutionaries in so love with each other and so fucked up it was a wonder they weren’t guillotined already. Although suspension of disbelief was needed at some points, it was still a crazy good ride

    https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1282227993l/8930277.jpg

    I rarely go gaga over het couples but Shin’s devotion to Yankumi, on top of the addicting storylines, had me devouring the whole manga in one sitting.

    https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1486532877l/39061.jpg

    I don’t think anybody really cared about Titus here. Steerpike definitely stole the show.

    https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1388536370l/3424.jpg
    review here

    The continuation of the ongoing saga of the Roman Empire in which golden boy Sulla rises into power. Can somebody write more books about him, please?

    https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1398814332l/22188.jpg

    I am an unabash fan of Gossip Girl. I don’t know what it says about me but I am a fan of chick lit where the main characters are super rich.

    https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1492601464l/29283884.jpg
    review here

    The cover model is perfect and that title just grabbed me. TGGVV wasn’t that brilliant as I expected, it was meandering a bit too much for my liking, but Monty and Percy slow burn romance was squee-tastic and Felicity is a girl after my own heart.

    Elijah Crowe. Brilliant, beautiful, brave. Definitely unforgettable!

    https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1415632549l/21529170.jpg
    review here

    The last book in the awesome A Charm of Magpie series in which Lucien tried to make Stephen quit his job and enticed him to go on a tour of China. Damn you, Crane!

    Am I the only one who doesn’t want Stephen Day to quit?

    https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1388211466l/480570.jpg
    review here

    I am super meh on Julius Caesar no matter how much Colleen McCullough hyped him up. Sulla is what I’m all about. I also love how gay the Romans were.

    https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1299311205l/182430.jpg
    review here

    Still not caring about Julius Caesar but this book was riveting. CM made Rome come alive.

    https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1388197152l/225221.jpg

    I had no idea what Ayn Rand’s philosophy was all about, nor do I care. Normally this is the kind of book I wouldn’t be able to finish but apparently I enjoyed this and even gave it 4 stars in GR even though half the time, I don’t understand what the characters were going on about.

    April 1, 2019 / No Comments

    This seems like a fun challenge to participate it. Let’s see how many letters I can get.

    E is eldritch creatures, enchantments and exquisite tastes.

    review here

    One of the best written book in the series. That cliffhanger!

    https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1373917609l/6015241.jpg
    review here

    Exquisite Corpse was my introduction to gay serial killers. That it was also an intense love story between the two killers made it an all-time favorite book.

    https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1484239952l/33284517.jpg
    review here

    One of Aleksandr Voinov’s best work. Witches of London – Eagle’s Shadow was also among the earliest MM books I read that completely blew me away.

    https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1486244049l/30969741.jpg
    review here

    A cover like this will always make me remember this book. It also deserves a good story. While not perfect, An Enchantment of Ravens still delivered a captivating fae-human story.

    https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1373627931l/6969.jpg

    I tried. Twice. I still couldn’t past how dreary it is. I’m sorry Jane Austen, I don’t get you yet.
