This week I added ten books to my "already read" pile. Most of them I really liked. A couple were not exactly my taste, but that's not to say that there won't be plenty of other readers who will love them. Among the books I really enjoyed was Zach's Secret by Matthew W. Grant, a YA coming out story that featured a gay teen who was an editor for his school paper and was afraid to come out of the closet. I also read and loved Few Are Chosen by Storm Grant. This was the first of her books I've r...

Here are the books I've finished reading this week. I enjoyed them all, but I have to admit that Academic Pursuits was not a favorite. It may well appeal to readers who enjoy sarcasm and who think snarkiness is hilarious. It is very well written/edited regardless. Please be aware that Fries With That is pretty hard core. It's not a love story, at least not by conventional standards. It includes humiliation and degradation, so if that's not your bag, steer clear. I highly recommend Gabriel. It... Continue reading ...

For those who like the rougher sort of BDSM erotica (like I often do) here is a list of books that may be appealing. I've got to warn you that some of it is pretty hardcore, and if you're squeamish about humiliation and degradation, these may not be the right books for you. But if you like things down and dirty...enjoy!  Logan is 26, a business professional who's fallen victim of a receding
economy. Although he has a degree and management experience, he finds
himself in a position where he's ...

 Surviving Elite High
by John H. Ames
This week I read a variety of books, my favorite among them being an unpublished young adult novel by an aspiring writer named John H. Ames. His book, Surviving Elite High, is a jock/nerd love story that in some ways reminded me of my own Dumb Jock. Told in first person by the central character John, the story chronicles the development of a teen romance involving the shy, self-effacing narrator with the jock football hero he's tutoring. Unlike Dumb Jock, El...

It's Friday again, and here's a recap of my week in reading. Five books in total, all of which I liked, but I have to warn you that Straight Jock Pussy by Christopher Trevor is pretty extreme. It's an erotic domination story that contains some really heavy humiliation and degradation scenes. More of what you'd call a one-handed read. I'd say if you enjoy the authoritarian stories on nifty.org, you might like this one. Rabbletown is a futuristic dystopian story about life in the United States ... Continue reading ...

I just finished reading Rachel Haimowitz's Song of the Fallen series. It consists of two books--Counterpoint and Crescendo. The story is a fantasy which is set in a mythical world, and it is about a human crown prince who falls in love with one of his enslaved elves. Normally I do not read fantasy and was surprised by how much I loved this story and these wonderful characters. I urge readers to give it a try because it's really a touching romance with a potent message. Counterpoint
It is the tw... Continue reading ...
