BWA (Book Whore Anonymous) Bulletin

In one of my umpteenth addictive crisis, I made the following order, which arrived yesterday:

  
  
  
 

As you can see there are a mix of novels and graphic novels... since I like the yaoi manga mostly for the graphic, it's impossible for me to really enjoy it if I haven't the comic for real. And then there are some print novels that I can't find in ebook format, and one (Heaven Sent 2) that I like so much in ebook that I buy it also in print (and then the new cover by P.L. Nunn is wonderful...).

For the recs, one I have just read, The Protector, and the others will arrive shortly.

Oohhhh...

I just got I'll be Your Slave. I also have Playboy Blues and Lies and Kisses. (I love Yaoi manga.) I thought I'll be Your Slave and Playboy Blues were fun. I loved the art in Playboy Blues. Lies and Kisses was beautiful (If a little creepy because of the incest factor.) Have fun reading!!!

Did you read Ginn Hale's Wicked Gentlemen?

I'm not into a lot of the stuff you read, but I'm definitely into the pretty covers. And those are some purty covers. And as you know, I'm more of a Book Cover Whore myself.

ohhh Lies and Kisses was so beautiful to look at, not just to read... LOL. It'll be great to hear what you think of it too, I love that artist.
And I loved the art of Playboy Blues.
I'm tempted by the cover of Tough Love Baby too, though I may wait for your thoughts on the actual manga ^___^

Have a fun weekend with your new purchases!!
*hugs*

Could you tell me what's the last manga title or the mangaka?
Most of the time I buy mangas just because I like the cover. Some of the manga are difficult to find, such as Finder series by Ayano Yamane.
I just received my copy of Heaven's series, those covers are really nice.

You just have to love it when your books arrive!

I have all except Want me, Body parts and The Protector.
Have ordered Protector based on your review, Elisa. Let us know if Want me is any good, Elisa. This writer seems to have a thing for hunky muscular guys :)
You will enjoy Shiuko Kano's Yaois and "I'll be your slave" is so funny. Love Comfort and Joy. Enjoy!
