Today is all about my addiction to reading :-)
I am a read-aholic and proud of it.
I love books, be it print books I can hold in my hands or an
e-book I can read on my e-reader or computer. Books take me away to far off
places, be it a harem, a pirate ship or a castle. I have a ton of favorite
authors that I can list from here to doomsday yet every day I find new ones
that I add to the list.
Books give me a chance to explore places, events and other
items I may never experience in my life. Because face it, I really don’t think a space pirate will
steal me off to far off planets. J I can dream, can’t I?
*laughs*
With the explosion of e-books, I am finding more books I can
shake a stick at. New authors, publishers and I am in my utter glory. There is
something of walking-or browsing online-a bookstore and exploring what is out
there in whatever genre may spark my imagination.
I can’t help being a read-aholic…the characters, the stories
and the chance to be someone else for once drives me to gorge myself on
whatever catches my fancy. Right now I am enthralled with MM stories. It
doesn’t matter what genre…well let me rephrase that…any genre except horror
*shudders*, that I find totally captivating. I fell in love with Patricia
Logan, Xavier Axelson, Johnny Miles, Silvia Violet, DC Juris, Andrew Grey, AJ Llewellyn,
and a host of other wonderful MM authors. I don’t care if the story involves
two men (or more *smiles*) as long as I am drawn into the story, into the
characters lives and am invested in their relationship. *shrugs*
To me, if an author can make me feel the characters emotions
then I am hooked on their work. I love reading and lately I am finding lots of
great books in the MM genre. Lots of new authors to explore plus so many
stories to choose from, it’s a wonder I ever get any work done at my day job.
(whispers...no I don’t
stalk them at all. I am a very dedicated fan of their work….*giggles as fingers
are crossed behind back*)
My honey says I have a fetish for this type of book. Who
doesn’t like seeing two (or more) hot sexy guys go at it? I know, for me, that
is one of life’s littlest pleasures. J Granted I am a
straight woman in a loving relationship, there is something about MM books that
leaves me wanting more…to read I mean. Get your mind out of the gutter, people.
*grins*
I can’t pin point when I fell in love with this type of book
but I know that, gradually, I have found my reading tastes have leaned further
this way than a mix of MF stories that I normally have. I think this is because
so many of my favorite authors are having books that appeal to me in some
way-be it the genre crossing, emotional storylines or some intriguing
characters that steal my heart.
I can’t help this addiction. It’s a compulsion I don’t want
to end. There are too many wonderful authors I need to read and explore. Now if
only I could find the time to read them all….*sighs*

I love books too but I love audio books the best. To hear the written word aloud is like no other. Patrick Lawlor, Melanie Ewbank, Rene Raudman, Hillary Huber and Dick Hill are just a few of the audio gods and goddesses out there.
Thanks for participating in the hop!

I've found myself leaning toward m/m books also. I will read almost anything if the stories good so I guess that means I'm looking more at how the author writes than anything else.

I read voraciously, and always have. I really love m/m...I've always been reluctant to read het romances because they always end up bothering me (cliches, themes that I find sexist, women to whom I can't relate). But m/m feels empowering to me, plus it's just so much hotter!

Dawn - stalking and dedicated fan are not the same thing *adjusts halo* really. promise.
Are you sure Angel? I could have sworn that was what it said on the back of my reader fan card. LOL
Hmmm. I have never read M/M though I've written M/F/M but the two men never touch. I'm going to have read some M/M. Thanks for suggestion.
I love reading and have been fortunate enough to pass this on to my children. I am Deaf so I find the written word fascinating and wonderful.

I describe myself as a book-whore. Yeah, I've said it in public and am proud of it.
Reading is as natural to me as breathing is.
Thanks,

MM is all I read! I am going on a long trip so I just bought 6 books! But I always have more on my to buy list!

Interesting...I am relatively new to romance & erotica and I find that I have not yet "worked my way up to" M/M or BDSM. Somehow, they strike me as being too far out of my comfort zone, but there seem to be a lot of them available right now.

I used to read a lot when I was young but stopped after college. I started reading again about 3 years ago and haven't stopped since. I just wish I could read faster!
