top 5 sundays image 2011 simpler

 

I love this theme! There are so many amazing leading men in the literary world, but some piece of heart is always given to the third side of the love love triangle, the one that doesn’t get chosen.

Let’s list them! =D 

 

   This week’s results:

Rejected Love Interests (as in the other guy got the girl) = 9 (56%)

Favorite Book Titles = 7 (43%)

 

The theme for today is:

Rejected Love Interests (as in the other guy got the girl)

Puck

Gale

This week’s theme is Favorite Genres NOT UF or PNR!

I am an avid Paranormal devourer reader, YA, Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Romance and anything that might fit in that category, but even a lover like me needs a break once in a while and here are some of the genres I usually turn to =)

*in no particular order

Literary {S&M/Ms} Erotica

Tender Mercies Comfort Foodimage

LOVE Kitty Thomas books and from her rec I ended up reading “As She’s Told” and Loved it as well!

Definitely not a genre for everyone.

 

Gay Romance

All She Wrote (Holmes & Moriarity, #2)Trust Me If You Dare (Romano and Albright, #2)

I am a huge Josh Lanyon fan and I’ll read anything he puts put, but his more humorous side is awesome and led me to L.B. Gregg, Score!

 

Contemporary Romance

The Royal Treatment (Alaskan Royal Family, #1)The Unidentified Redhead (The Redhead Series, #1)Talk Me Down (Tumble Creek, #1)

For the longest time I turned my nose to contemporary romance, but I finally gave in and I am so glad I did!

The funny incarnations by MJD, Victoria Dahl and Alice Clayton are amongst the best!

 

Space Opera

Grimspace (Sirantha Jax, #1)Alien in the Family (Katherine "Kitty" Katt, #3)

Spaceships, Alien and Adventures Oh My!

 

Fantasy

Eyes Of Crow (Aspect of Crow, #1)Northern Lights (His Dark Materials, #1)The Fellowship of the Ring

Not to dis the Urban kind, but pure Fantasy will always have a part of my heart!

 

Special Mentions:

Steampunk 

Soulless (The Parasol Protectorate, #1)Phoenix Rising (Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences #1)

Dystopian

The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1)Inside Out (Insider, #1)

This week’s theme is Favorite 2nd Book in a Series!

I am addicted to series so this was actually a pretty fun list to think about! =)

  *in no particular order

  The Beast in Him (Pride, #2)

I LOVE this series so much and after the first book which included to medium length stories, this one was perfect and tells the story of Bobby Ray ans Jees, who are amazing! 

 

Desire Unchained (Demonica, #2)

I absolutely love this series! And even though I love all the brothers and the fans usually lean toward Wraith as their favorite Brother, but I LOVE Shade! He is my favorite, hands down!

 

Alien Tango (Katherine "Kitty" Katt, #2)

Kitty Rocks! Touched by an Alien was a fantastic book, but the second book in the series, Alien Tango, was able to surpass it for me. LOVE it!

 

Voice of Crow

This is book 2 in my Favorite Trilogy EVER! The first one was amazing, but the second was incredible!!!

 

Catching Fire (Hunger Games, #2)

After the amazeballs that The Hunger Games was, I thought it was impossible to top it, but Suzanne nearly did it with Catching Fire! Outstanding!
