I LOVE this book so far!!! Such an amazing concept/premise.

Almost 200 pages in and I love this book. Is it so beautifully written. I can't wait to see where this takes me.

Should I read Kevin Kwan's new book, or the sequel to The Royal We?

I'm stuck in the middle, and have no interest in keeping going. :-/

I am determined. This year is the year I will actually completely finish A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara.

I’ll come back to it. Just not in the mood for this type of novel right now.

I will keep going, listening to it on audiobook, but I have some thoughts for sure. Not loving it, but also not hating it. It’s a strange book to be sure.

I’m going to finish this book...at some point.

So, what's the deal with shifter and M/M romance? Is it as prevalent a genre in M/F romance? As a rule, I am not a huge fan on them, I just think they are a weird plot for a romance. The Thirds series by Charlie Cochet is an exception however.

CALLING ALL GR friends. I need your help. Would you kindly check out this post? https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I am trying to remember the name of a book I read, and am failing miserably. NOTE: It does contain spoilers for the novel because I can only remember the beginning and end of the book.

Liking it so far. I’m getting MAJOR Shelter from 2007 vibes, in a good way. Generally though, I must say I’m not a big fan of the “gay for only you” genre, but I guess that’s because I’m out and proud, so it makes me upset when people struggle to be themselves.

I just looked at my TBR to Read ratio, not good. Over 1k TBRs and I would say 200 read and about 25 are considered “read” from when I was a kid/teen. I better get reading!!! Thanks guys for all the new M/M suggestions (Todd, Heather and Daniela) Here we go!!! Bear, Otter and the Kid first I think.

I probably will get a lot of flack for this, but why do most M/M novels have to have such cheesy covers? On one hand I get having cover models helps identify the novel as an M/M romance, but still. Is it just me? Or do others also think the books don’t have to necessarily scream, “You’re reading an M/M?” But then I’m always one to shop by cover. One of my favorite covers recently was The Imperfection of Swans

I'm enjoying the story enough to continue, but Aza and her anxiety is getting to me. Maybe it's because it is making me nervous.

Culling out my TBR list. It's time. #SomeoneHelpMe

Loving this. Got it in book form versus just a Kindle version so I could add it to my library!!

Awww! What a great present.

Reading this slowly, but enjoying it nonetheless.

Wow. The prose in this novel are gorgeous and rich.

liking it.

I am liking this but I'm reading it slowly so I can explore and enjoy each of the huge cast of characters.

I want to finish this so I can go to another book, but I am taking my time because I know the ending is so sad :(

Loving this book. Exquisitely written. Well thought out.

All these Greek names are hard to pronounce, but fun to try. I'm happy I recognize as many as I do.

Wow!!! So good.

Something fishy is going on with Ben. He's hiding something.

Loving this book!! One word, Adam!!

Good God, what a beginning. If I didn't have to work tomorrow, I have a feeling I'd be up all night reading!

2% into this and already hooked I can only imagine what Christine and Ben are going through.
