Listopia > Best M/M Self-Published Books of 2016

PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION AND FOLLOW ALL THE RULES. OTHERWISE DON'T VOTE ON THIS LIST!

DESCRIPTION
Why a list dedicated to the self-published books? Because many times they are better than the books with a publishing house behind, and usually they don’t have the exposure an official publisher may provide.

RULES
■ always check the books you vote for that they comply with all the rules; if a book is on this list doesn't necessarily mean that it's correctly added as well
■ are allowed only books that were first published in 2016
■ are allowed only books that are already published, therefore no voting in advance for future releases
■ are allowed only books that are self-published AND are available for buying or offered for free through an online retailer (Amazon, Smashwords, Kobo Books, etc.)
■ are not allowed online stories (original, fanfiction, etc.) or stories written for the M/M Romance Group's Don't Read in the Closet events; these titles are allowed only if they comply with the previous rule

If you see a book that doesn’t qualify here, please add a comment below.
