is correct, I adore it's my favorite genre as well..^^ The Wicker King is definitely YA/LGBTQ+ (how does it feel, all this pressure from me? ahah) \

Young Adult (oh how much I love it.. ) -14 p

Age gaps (oh I think I suggested it too way before.. oh wait, Racheal, you're very very good:D or some other kind soul is sharing my kinks.. I love you, the awesome one..^^) - 13 p

Historical (I should support my newly-found reputation for loving historical) 12 p

Si-Fi -(I don't read enough of it) - 11p

Gay for you - (yep, I ship that) - 10 p

Comedy- 9p

Mystery/Suspense (it's rarely done right, but oh well) - 8p

Asexuality (just because of you, voide, the only reason it's not last on my list..^^) - 7p

Fantasy - 6p

psychic/paranormal -5 p

Shifter (I feel like I've read all the good ones already anyway xD) - 4p

BDSM - (i have read too much recently) - 3p

Crossdressing (I'm reading one now anyway, so that's why it's down T_T) - 2p

Mpreg -(well, something has to be last.. T_T) - 1p

 

Authors: sticking with Megan Derr & adding Lisa Henry, because she likes it dark & twisted & Kelly York, because I want to read a book by her..^^

tbh the only famous MM author i've constantly read so far is only josh lanyon. others (including megan derr) not so much. even t.j.klune hehee.. i'm always out of loop & deviate from majority. hope w book club, i can 'force' myself to eventually read them all.

 

ps: jay, only greek? well, well... :D

My votes:

 

 

1. Mystery/Suspense (as long as the story was finished, it's gotta be my first choice!)

2. Historical (actually, it will be a blast when combine with "Mistery/Suspense" ;))

3. Psychic/Paranormal

4. Fantasy

5. Comedy (could lighten up my day)

6. Gay for you/Straight to gay (usually this theme is combined w/ comedy)

7. Crossdressing (not many novels I found w/ this theme)

8. Age-gaps (usually comes w/ kink... n_n")

9. BDSM

10. Mpreg (Honestly, anything w/ children in M/M romance is a plus for me. 'Tho I don't do shifter...)

11. Asexual (Only one book I read that count as having a asexual theme. I like it, but I am not sure if it's because of the author's skill or the theme itself)

12. Young Adult*

13. Sci-fi (Dunno why I don't like this one. However, I do know this one is not my cup of tea)

14. Shifter (I like Mpreg, but not shifter)

15. Polygamy (I'm strictly into monogamous so...)

 

 

 

* I always thought "Young Adult" as a more general theme w/ young people feature in the book. Am I wrong?

 

 

Author (I have SO SO MANY recommendations, but I will try for three only...):

 

 

Tamara Allen

K. J. Charles

Lucy Lennox

(C. S. Pacat, Barbara Elsborg, Piper Scott, and there're six authors already...

:_red_fox 1)

 

 

 

The authors are all my favorite. I mean, I already read most of their books ...or maybe all. :cuteonion7:

you're not wrong about YA. it still has boy loves boy minus the 'enthusiastic' love scenes lmao also. i'm a strictly into monogamous too. i'm willing to try read poly/menage tho it's just that i hope it's not for the first book (i hope so. ooh i'm a little scared now lol)

Hmm.. Now I'm thinking I'm not a big fan of college or high-school love story...

And Polygamy? I always avoid threesome's cover (I mean, u know what's the contain of the book when there're three people as a cover, right? n_n")

 

But I really intrigue to read "Robbie (Confession #1) by Ella Frank (The rating in Goodreads is marvelous!).

i think i know/heard of The Survival Game. some said it's like Mazerunner too.. maybe you could check out the main genre/theme? for example: is it sci-fi? fantasy? etc.

never read ella frank books before, so no comment hehee.. but yeah. also, i feel like polygamy & menage are two different thing, no? polygamy is like 3 people or more engaged in a committed relationship plus sex while menage is more about sexual stuff not relationship kinda stuff. what do you think?

said ". . . such a long time I haven't read any YA because yep, I hate those young bastards living their young awesome lives xD" heheheh -- is this why you prefered mostly dark theme for YA/LGBTQ+? Wicker King and. . . I see you like the Foxhole Court Trilogy?

 

Well. Just you wait, Mochi; after reading Wicker King and telling you what I feel about the book, I'll definitely "introduce" you more to cute and sweet and hilarious YA/LGBTQ+ books to balance the dark-theme love you have~~ *insert kekeke maniacal chuckles here*

! Hello and sorry for this abruptness but you said, "11. Asexual (Only one book I read that count as having a asexual theme. I like it, but I am not sure if it's because of the author's skill or the theme itself)" -- please tell me what title is the book you mention? I am curious.

is that a threat or a friendly promise? either way - BRING IT ON!! Yay, I'm excited, excited, excited now:D:D:D

 

and yep, most of YA I've read so far was either about murders, child abuse, mental illnesses or incest xD so I guess I do see a trend..^^

 

but I did enjoy the Foxhole trilogy, especially the third book:D it was precious:D but OH MY GOD it was the slowest of burns:D at some points it was torture for the impatient me:D:D but I had the precious

..yap mazerunner falls in the same category too (the second movie totally disappointed me so didn't mention that one) thanks i will try searching with sci-fi and fantasy tags..you know these days there are many M/F books like this..i saw gender game and a few others while searching the other day..

.but it would be so amazing if there were gay romance books like this..like love over survival? or survival over love? with betrayal, killing, challenge all that..if i can't find any books maybe i will start writing one out of frustration ;)

yes. i get what you feel. we need story like this in MM. it's too good as a plot don't you think? but for now, i have to be satisfied w only fanfiction if i wanna read something like this. AU for my fave pair for a remedy lol sure, buddy! you should write one. do you write any fanfiction or original fiction?

Hmm.. this is the first time I heard 'menage'. What I get from your statement: menage is a theme where the character is either a playboy or one-night-stand type (?)

 

Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links.

Yup! College and high-school love is too good to be true. There're so many hearts, doki doki, and blushing. Oh, can't forget the bully (third party) there. Somehow I really hate third party in love story n_n"
