Ongoing

At the top

• Cut and run saga (9) - 5 stars, no notes, love them so much
• The Will Darling adventures (3) - Bloody beautiful and clever, no notes, Kim Secretan is a sodding marvel of a character. Something to do: find a copy of White Stains somewhere
• Big bad wolf (5) - 5 stars, I would read more about Cooper and Park any day of the week any week of the year
• Midcentury NYC (2) - 5 stars - love them, no notes, need more
• Game changer - 5 stars for Ilya/Shane, 4 for Harris/Troy, 3 for everyone else
• Green creek - 5 stars for the first two, then 4, 2 - why is everyone leaving and coming back one way or another?!
• After Hours at Dooryard Books - 5 stars, so many feelings, so little bullshit, nicely written on found family within books. What more do you want? Something to do: reread Walter Whitman, again and again
• The Menagerie - who told you that porn (a Shameless fanfiction, even) could not deserve a 5-star review?! We begin with a gangbang and end with a kiss. Sometimes the story works backward and that's a marvel in itself. Mal is a gem in every universe.

Flawed but lovingly so

• Sidewinter saga (3) - 4 stars, lots of notes but Nick is the king of kinks
• Star shipped - 4 stars, love by chance because nobody knows what he's doing from the beginning until the end
• The queer principles of Kit Webb - 4 stars - love the unawareness with which everyone falls
• Saint - 4 stars, of which 3 of cringe
• The Scottish boy - 4 stars (the author should have cut out 100 pages for another star)
• The murder between us - 4 stars - Noah could have been less of a dick and I would have appreciated it more
• Go luck yourself - 4 stars, 2 of a difficult suspension of disbelief
• Kiss the villain - 4 stars, 3 of "help, consent is really optional here"

Boooooring or less lovely

• The Tithenai Chronicles - Foz Meadows 3 stars - the idea is nice but the more interesting character is a secondary one; the two main protagonists are really the least enjoyable part of the book.
• Swordcrossed - 3 stars - soooo much business-related talk and drama
• The paper boys - 3 stars - less boooring and more ethically sketchy
• You & me - 3 stars - booooooooooooring
• A marvellous light - 3 stars - nice magic system, poor coupling
• Conspiracy Theory - 3 stars - toooooooo predictable. I will not even read the others even if they are all about one couple. I would like a believable killer for once.

The cringe starts here

• Doppelbanger - 2 stars - bonkers, ethically sketchy but also boooooring (DNF)
• For the fans - 2 stars - porn with just enough plot to confuse me. Great porn, though
• Don't you dare - 2 stars, great porn, not so great plot
• The charm offensive - well, it’s about a dating reality TV show. I didn’t know what I was expecting (DNF)
