Kick Ass Blog Awards

o_O I've won an award. SQUEE! I've still not been told if it's chocolate or if I can eat it yet, but I remain hopeful. big sloppy kissies to my PIC
sparklybearsy (via the lovely Parajunkee) for giving it to me *evil grin* the award I mean =D





The rules of this award are as follows:

Pass it on to 5 blogs you think are kick ass and explain why. Here are my choices:


Fiction Vixen whose name I, for some unknown reason, always seem to typo as Fixion Vixen =P I've no idea why. I love her cheeky reading pinup & dammit, reading IS sexy. she totally cracks me up. plus, I think she wants to touch me....what do you mean no? her latest blog says....oh, well never mind then. ;)


katiebabs witty, snarky AND she's a red-head. color me happy ;) her WTFckery posts have me down right howling laughing, don't read them while eating or drinking. never mind how I know this.


Kris her phobia treatment is the fucking deal. for reals. mouthwatering pics, deliciously amusing, fabulous quotes AND has food on her page. there is no bad here.


Leontine for lovely comprehensive reviews, yummy delicious shirtless menz AND the hunk of the week. if only those unbutton pants were just one measly inch lower *AHEM*



Cecile who wouldn't love a blog that proclaims itself to be Hussy Heaven & has Sex On a Stick men? plus it took me 10 mins to peel myself away from the hot man-candy on her page =P

my 1st meme, period AND it's M/M! WOOT for the manlove

I was tagged for this by the lovely Fiction Vixen =P she had much faith in me, as I am a new blogger & had no idea what a meme was (HEE! thanks to Mandi @ Smexybooks for the answer)


Rules:
1. Answer all the questions below in either the comments here or post it on your own site. If you post it on your own site you have to come back and give the link here so I can mosey on over and see if you have a sticky beak. ~does that mean being nosy? cause I could totally go somewhere dirty with that. just sayin'.


2. You have to tag two other people once you’re done and pester them relentlessly until they do the meme too.


3. Instead of a meme image thing you have to post a cookie, preferably a twofer. It is an m/m meme after all. ~m'kay, I don't have the foggiest clue how these are supposed to go but I assume I'm to post a pic of a hot man, preferably two hot men. this I can handle.

here it is:


oh yeah, you know you want some of that ;)



Questions:

1. How long have you been reading GLBTQ fiction? ~ummm, about 3-4 years. more seriously for the last 2-3 years. I blame JR Ward, she writes some smoking hot manlove (unfortunately not more than kissage & implied hotness so far) & made me really crave more of it.


2. What was the first book you read in this genre? ~geez, I honestly have no idea. I've read quite a few books that have had bi/same sex/multiple partner love scenes in. I read the Beauty trilogy by Anne Rice while I was still in high school (which was WAY too early) & the pony play freaked me out so bad, I honestly can't remember if it had anything GLBTQ in it.


3. Are you 'out' as a reader? ~oh sure, I have no qualms about it *flies banner proudly*



4. Ebooks, print or both? ~both are fine, the thing that annoys me is the cost. why the hell should erotica be so much more expensive than regular fiction? *sulks* I could buy more if it were cheaper. a lot of my erotica is in ebook form though.



5. Do you buy direct from publishers or from secondary sellers? ~ummm, I'm not sure. maybe from the publishers?



6. Prove you're a Book Slut. How many books would you say you buy a week? ~it depends if I want to eat that week or not =P at least one or two, although 2 weeks ago it was 17, so it really depends how slutty I'm feeling *snicker*



7. Are you a cover, blurb or excerpt buyer? ~all 3, I admit that a bad cover can turn me off to a book but I've gotten better about getting past that...I think


8. Yeah, you read reviews, but do you actually take notice of them? ~a review is always someone's opinion so you have to take it with a grain of salt. it's best to find someone who has similar taste & check out what they like. I enjoy getting recs from ppl also. the fab book bitches on twitter are about to make me broke with all the recs =P I take more stock of book reviews than I do movie reviews, which I pay very little attention to.


9. Who's your fave publisher? ~if I like a book, I like it, I don't give 2 shits who the publisher is.



10. What about authors? Your top two only!! ~oh ummm, argh! I don't know! pass. can I pass?



11. Is there a sub-genre you particularly dis/like? ~not so far



12. Short or long?? *rolls eyes* And, no, I'm not talking about cocks. ~BOO! well why AREN'T you talking about cocks? cocks are fun! long, definitely ;) *evil laugh* no really, I mean it, long. I like some plot along with my hot sex. although, there is something to be said for a quickie =D



13. Anything turn you off about m/m or is all just glorious smut to you? ~as with anything I read, it MUST be well-written. any hack can just throw together some smutty sentences, it has to have feeling & I guess a sort of purpose behind it. the great thing about M/M is that I don't have to worry about the use of the dreaded C* word *shudders* and no, I'm not talking about cock.



14. Finish this sentence. You know it's m/m twu wuv when... ~you want him to stay & cuddle AND you give him cab fare to go home in the morning so he doesn't have to do the walk of shame in his assless leather pants.


15. What trope or theme are you heartily sick of in m/m romance? ~I don't know that I've read enough M/M to know what theme to be sick of yet.



16. If you could choose any 3 characters for an m/m/m who would they be? ~mmmm just random characters from any stories? that's SIMPLE. V, Butch, Qhuinn & Blay from JR Ward's BDB. yes, I'm aware that I just listed 4 characters. I care not =P if you have a prob with that, change the Qhuinn & Blay to Qhuay. problem solved =D



17. What new GLBTQ release are you most hanging out for right now? ~if they do get their own book, Qhuinn & Blay


18. What GLBTQ book has completely blown you away this year? ~hmmm, I don't know that one has blown me out of the water this year. I must rectify this by reading more.


19. What do you think we'll see more of in m/m romance in 2010? ~probably more paranormals, vamps n weres n demons, oh my =)



20. Don't you agree that author Josh Lanyon should kill off arsehole character Jake Riordan? ~I have no idea, I've never read Josh Lanyon. =P yet another new author to add to the list *wallet screams* how big of an arsehole is he? is he hot? hehehe


sparklybearsy & smokinhotbooks tag! you're it!!




MWAH!

of Skin Game & Reyes--part 1

I'm just starting chapter 4 of Skin Game by Ava Gray, which came very highly recommended by the Fabulous Book Bitches (go see my twitter list & follow them!) so far I am loving the writing style & am very intrigued by the characters Kyra & Reyes. I'm also intrigued by Kyra's powers & where they come from. is she a witch? fae? alien? the sex is H.O.T. if it gets any hotter my eyeballs may catch fire. I can't wait =D

my 1st "real" post, yay!

is there ever such a thing as too many books? not in my world. I have books on every flat surface; books in the kitchen, books in the living room, books on my nightstand & my kitchen table & my front room table & in the closets & in the 2 spare rooms & probably a few in the garage even =P my problem with books is that I love my books, get attached & then I don't want to give them up. in my world, there is no such thing as reading a book once & giving it away or taking it to the book trade. the only books I give up are ones I don't like, LOL. I am an avid rereader & will often go back to reread my favorites, as I look upon them as old friends. I'm currently on a mission to find more bookshelves & make the 1 spare room into my reading sanctuary. I've always wanted a window seat & while I don't think it's doable in the room right now, I vow to one day have one!
I am currently toting 4 books back & forth to work with me. I am rarely without a book in the car or in my purse. you never know when you might get stuck in a traffic jam or an endless 2 hour wait in the doctor's office. the books are listed under 'right now I have my nose in'. if you are questioning the logic behind toting all 4 around with me, I'll try to explain.
I'm mostly reading Undone right now, which is a historical romance. I quite like Virginia Henley, I've read quite a few of her books & she's good at hot sex even in times where people were probably having sex through a hole in the sheet.
I'm randomly rereading Rhage's book, Lover Eternal. I had it loaned out to the new girl in billing. I am quite proud to say that I have pimped the BDB to all the girls at work & have hooked 7 girls & am working on an 8th! it's so nice not to be the only one ripping my hair out over how long the wait is for John Matthew's book, Lover Mine. (APRIL?!?!?!) I had intended to just reread the hot sex parts of Rhage's book =P but as usual, JR's fabulous writing just yanked me back in. it's so cool to see how much her writing style has evolved since the beginning with Wrath's book. I can NEVER get enough of the BDB.
Rosie Dunne is written by Cecelia Ahern, who wrote P.S. I Love You. if you have not read it, I strongly encourage you to do so. while the movie was good (how can anything with Gerard Butler in it be bad, I ask you?), the book was 10 times better. I alternated between howling crying & howling laughing in the book. it is truly brilliant, a very insightful look on how people try to move on after losing someone they love more than anything. I haven't started Rosie Dunne yet but am anxious to because the tag line is: 'an enchanting novel about what happens when two people who are meant to be together just can't seem to get it right. Rosie and Alex are destined for each other, and everyone seems to know it but them.' we'll see how I like it.
Last but not least, Hungry Girl's Cookbook, which is fabulous. lots of yummy delicious recipes, most of which are not "diet" food & make you think you are eating your favorite comfort foods but you are saving yourself MEGA calories & fat grams. a very helpful thing for a girl like me, who wants to lose weight but has a severe sloth problem coupled with a gym/exercise allergy =P.
that's about it from my end at the moment, I'm now off to add more pics of hot men to my blog (always a pleasurable undertaking =D)

2nd post

grrrrrrrr, this thing is being whorish & trying to defeat me. I will not allow it! I will configure it to my liking & everything else be damned! I will figure out how to post pics & other cute stuff. I will triumph!

quick 1st post

cause my PIC is bratty & wouldn't give me a moment's peace till I made one of these. it remains to be seen what I will do with it =P are you happy now, princessy pesty pants?!
