Which Kindle app dev thought I’d want “popular highlights” toggled on by default while reading? Turned that immersion-killing feature off as soon as I figured out what it even was (okay, so I read an entire book thinking it was a glitch).

Dear Authors, can we consider retiring the “(Adjective) Alpha’s/Omega’s (Noun)” titling convention? I’m starting think it’s some kind of regulation I wasn’t previously aware of.

What I've been reading: M/M Romance and sub-genres
What Amazon recommends: Liver Detox

What are you insinuating, Amazon? Is Alexa creeping on my wine stash?

Newly confirmed M/M personal pet peeve: MCs who ogle themselves in first-person PoV. There are more elegant ways for the reader to be clued in to the character’s hotness than having him check himself out in overly complimentary detail.

Starting this book on the way to work was not my best idea. Not sure this is morning commute material.

Thoroughly enjoying this. So strange and so good.

I know I spend too much time with contemporary M/M romances when I stop sneering at yet another buff, naked, headless torso on a book cover and passively accept it as a convention of the genre.

On an unrelated side note, I think it's about time to let Lisa Henry take the wheel. I need to reread Dark Space again. Lisa, I miss Cam and Brady...I wonder what they've been up to since book #2. Hint hint ;)

Blasted through books 1 and 2 and beginning book 3 before even starting my reviews. *throws his wallet at the author* Just take my money.

Still onboard. I expected the science-fantasy and horror themes, but the romance snuck up on me. Interesting stuff.

Very intrigued so far. Starts with one hell of a Trauma Conga. Hoping that the rest of the book can deliver on this premise.

Jury is still out on this one. I know a lot of people loved it, but my feelings thus far are mixed. It's not bad, but maybe not for me. Could be a DNF, we'll see.

The problem with revisiting favorite books from your teens when you're in your 30s requires no further explanation. Nostalgia fail.
