My gosh, did I say I was excited for the releases coming out the last two months? Well, I was. But the next two months---THE NEXT TWO MONTHS. These are some great books, my friends. I already know it. (And this isn't even all of them since the post got long and some aren't on Goodreads yet.) Anyway, we've got demons, elves, shifters, dragons, fae, mages, orcs, and even a human or two. Many of...

I've reviewed a few visual novel/dating sim type games so far, and I've talked about The Sims here and there, but I've finally added an actual gaming category! If you're only here for the books, don't worry. This is not a big change. I'm still going to post mostly about books and reading. I would just also like to try posting a little bit more about games now that I'm interested in trying more...

That's right, it's me, your friendly neighborhood vampire-loving book blogger, back with another post full of vampire book recommendations! Here's my previous post, if you'd like to see it. This time, it's all about the M/M* ones. *Many of these are more urban fantasy than strictly romance, but they all have m/m romance as part of their story. I admit it's been a while since I've read some...
