/ August 24, 2012Luckily, I follow Erastes on Live Journal, or I might not ever have heard of this site. It looks as if you might be able to turn me on to some good male/male novels that aren’t necessarily romances, which (honestly) pretty much bore me to tears. That’s a huge blog hop, but I’m looking forward to tackling it little by little, and maybe finding some new authors.

K. Brown
/ August 25, 2012Like blogger MA Church, I got so bored with reg boy/girl erotica and love stories. Reading about the boys opened my world and imagination to a whole new world. Not only was it hot reads but I learned so much about the gay community that I never knew existed. I’ve read some amazing writers andi glad there’s yet another place for us to spread the word on how amazing some of them are.

/ August 26, 2012I was not able to post on all the authors sites (if they did not have an option of Name for how to post), but I really enjoyed reading all the posts, some amazing stories out there of how people started writing, not to mention all the new books you end up adding to the “to buy” and/or “to-read” pile!!!!
Thanks for organizing the hop, I’ve seen the reviews via Serena’s posts on Twitter, Lena’s on Goodreads so I have the web site and blog on my favorites list now!
All the best on the new site, I’ll definitely be following!
