If you could carry on one completed book series, what would it be?

Like it could be a spin off with a character who didn't get the spotlight as much as they should have Or a book series that ended with loose ends that need tying up for good

For me Plated Prisoner, I loved that world! I think Sweetest Fiend is a continuation but idek

So, a long time ago, like pre- Goodreads getting bought by Amazon. I was in a group and it was brought up that gay romance is mostly written by women to be consumed by women. And that it can be fetishizing of gay men.

So a) what are your thoughts on this twist of the trope of men writing women.

And b) recommend your favorite MALE authors who write M/M romance books.

Mine favorite is TJ Klune. If you want something smuttier written by him try the Tales from Verania series.

What do you guys think about period representation in books? So far I have read two where it was a thing! How about you guys?

What’s a book that’s been so hyped up, only to let you down?

For me it was The Ritual by Shantel Tessier. It was so overhyped on booktok, even on goodreads (when I still used it) i remember it having a 4 star rating. I was honestly so shocked once I finished it. That book had so many plot holes and questions unanswered, all spice basically, and even the spicy scenes were not cute (fmc was drugged for half of those scenes it felt like). This is when I learned to never trust booktok again lmao

Hey guys!

I am currently trying to find some youtubers to watch but most that I come across promote authors such as Sarah J Maas, J.k Rowling, Rebecca Yarros, and Chloe Walsh to name a few. I am very active in politics and don't want to support those authors or those who platform them. I am very much a reading is political person and get extremely frustrated what people try to say that it isn't.

And before anyone tries to tell me that some of them bought the books before knowing how problematic the authors are, I totally understand that but when they have a platform and record in front of the books they don't need them on display. Especially those ugly neon coloured books (on a complete side note even if the author wasn't horrible those covers are awful)

OH and another side note if anyone if looking for a new search engine that isn't google chrome I highly recommend Ecosia, they even plant trees if you use their search engine!! :)

What is one of your book icks that you feel like you haven't seen others talk about? Like things so unique to you and your tastes?

For me its rich boy ennui. Books that touch on just how hard it is to be so rich you don't know what to do with your life. Even when I know that is part of the story and the message, I just can't stand it. Examples of this include The Great Gatsby, Dorian Gray, The Secret History. It kinda sucks because I like the dark academia vibe but hate the ennui. It can be hard to find dark academia without rich boy ennui.
