Another month of mostly M/M, but I’m doing good with making time for other genres. I did not manage to get back on track with my manga read-withs, so manga was not one of them. And this month sees me busy with other things, so I don’t know. I have a serious backlog of comics […]
In Shelved: March 2018, I briefly mentioned that one of my faves was at the center of some drama I was reluctant to go anywhere near, let alone write about it. But… I finally looked further into the Santino Hassell drama and, well, [insert profanity]. I don’t know if I’m not– surprised is the wrong […]
I didn’t have much of a plan for reading when the year started, but now I think I’m going to attempt to do themed months. January, by default, was M/M. For the latter half of 2017, I was mostly looking forward to the second book in Santino Hassell’s Barons series, Down by Contact, which was […]
The last monthly shelved post was made back in March 2016. I can’t seem to stick to a routine, but that’s fine, I suppose. Life is kind of hectic right now, so I’m surprised I’ve got this much done. Can’t say that I’ll be able to do it next month, but, again, it’s not the […]
At the end of 2015, I lost eight years worth of BL manga files. It was like a freak accident. One minute they were there and the next, gone. I was able to re-download all of my Juné and Sublime titles and my eBookJapan titles weren’t affected, of course, but all of my indie comics and […]
Mexico. The intel regarding the movements of Janus that the Agency received from Thierry Beauvais in volume one seemed to be legit, so our dynamic duo was sent undercover to Monterrey to handle business. Filling out the story was Hsin’s undercover gig in the first phase of the mission–an exercise in our favorite assassin trying to function […]
Evenfall is the first story in the In the Company of Shadows (ICoS) series. The completed series is available to read online (for free), however, the authors have gone back and started revising the story. They say the plot remains the same, but they are tightening everything up. So far they have completed the Director’s […]
Fast Connection is the second installment in Megan Erickson and Santino Hassell’s Cyberlove series. Theme aside, this book connects with the first, Strong Signal, by way of Dominic Costigan, Garrett Reid’s “tour homo”. Dominic is all for exploring his newly realized bisexuality, so he turns to Grindr and with a quick and dirty tutorial from […]
This book was an absolute pleasure to read. Having read–and in some cases, reread–just about everything by Santino Hassell (remaining reviews of which I hope to find the motivation for soon) and enjoying all of it, I was dabbling in some other writers’ offerings, but fiendin’ for something new by Hassell all the while. I […]
My friend, Requierobl–who I think is the person who put Santino Hassell on my radar in the first place–has been gracious enough to allow me to publish our conversation about the third book in Hassell’s Five Boroughs series. This took place over the course of a few days on Tumblr; it starts with me picking up […]
