message 3: by Deeze (new)

Deeze I think my number one has to go to Jimmy's mother in When Love is Not Enough. But then its such a close run race lol.


message 4: by Tailtiu (new)

Tailtiu I haven't read read any of the books you voted for...wonder why ;)


message 5: by Susan65 (new)

Susan65 I have not read When Love is Not Enough yet but I have it on my Nook.


message 6: by Tristan (new)

Tristan I think I need to read more on this list. :S I voted for the ONE I read!

Deeze Susan65"Cougar" wrote: "I have not read When Love is Not Enough yet but I have it on my Nook."

Once you read it you'll see why she is, IMO, the worse ever


message 8: by Susan65 (new)

Susan65 Wow, that's saying something.


message 9: by Susan65 (new)

Susan65 A quote from my review of "The Curtis Reincarnation":

"His mother was a monster and his father a saint. I was hoping she would die!"

LOL


message 10: by Wade (new)

Wade Joan is WAY more evil than Julie.


message 11: by Deeze (new)

Deeze But death is to fast and easy for these women. They need to suffer lol.


message 12: by Monika (new)

Monika Now I add the comment that somehow went missing again!!!!! *LOL*

Great idea Dee! I just not sure I would remember any. *LOL*

@Susan you should really read When Love is Not Enough its great!

@Tailtiu....the lists are a great way to pick books to read I've done it many times


message 13: by Deeze (new)

Deeze Wade wrote: "Joan is WAY more evil than Julie."

Agreed, but who is Julie? lol.


message 14: by Wade (new)

Wade I LOVE lists! Besides liking that my book is ON SOME, I like to browse by type and see what I haven't read in a particular "type". Most of the time after reading one, I can see why it is at the top of a particular list. They are popular for a reason!

McKenna... BOATK


message 16: by Deeze (new)

message 17: by Monika (new)

Monika I agree Wade I LOVE lists too. I just wish I could add some, I'm going to have to give this some thought... Photobucket


message 18: by Wade (new)

Wade How about the BEST DAD EVER? (or best parental support of a coming out character) ... Answer: Dan Miller!


message 19: by Susan65 (new)

Susan65 How about worst sibling? Wasn't there a book where a brother set up his own brother to be raped repeatedly...I think if was Shades of Grey...not the m/f one obviously.


message 20: by Tailtiu (new)

Tailtiu Does a stepmother count as mother for this list?


message 21: by Susan65 (new)

Susan65 I would think so


message 22: by Deeze (new)

Deeze Wade wrote: "How about the BEST DAD EVER? (or best parental support of a coming out character) ... Answer: Dan Miller!"

With Tyler's (Curtis Reincarnation) Dad coming a close second lol.

Deeze Tailtiu wrote: "Does a stepmother count as mother for this list?"

If she's a bitch that doesn't deserve the honourable title of mother step or otherwise then yes she is in lol.

message 29: by Deeze (new)

Deeze @ DT, LOL Thanks as for Worst Fathers there are so many to choose from, but I'm willing to vote as soon as someone sets up a list lol.

@Wade, Thank You lol.


I did consider making a Worst Know-it-all Female Best Friend in a MM book but realised that I'd end up posting about 90% of the books I've read..........


message 30: by Tad (last edited Jul 13, 2012 02:02AM) (new)

Tad Deeze, Monika, and Mandy have good taste on m/m, their bookshelves are my new Google... YAY!!!


message 31: by Monika (new)

Monika awww thank you DT that's nice of you to say...


message 32: by Warren (last edited Jun 06, 2014 05:28PM) (new)

Warren Collen Why wasn't Pray The Gay Away on the list? Both mothers in that book are horrible, but at least one of them came around, while the other remained hateful and sadistic. Amazing book! The whole series is!!I did add it to the list in hopes others will agree with me.

Hi Warren, I'm afraid I never added it as I have not read that one. But thanks for adding it in. It's now on my list lol.


message 34: by CraftyChara (new)

CraftyChara I felt that this Listopia was a bit sexiest, so I created one for bad dads.
