Thanks to all of you readers and authors who recommended 130+ of your favourite gay books. Many I knew and some of them I had never heard of, which is what makes this such an exciting list. As I said in the earlier post, this is not a Top 100 or a Top 200 list, it’s a list of favourite M/M books from you, supplemented by many of my favourites, as well as books that have been included as a result of exhaustive searches of booksellers’ sites to identify those that you would consider as keepers.

So Bad They’re Good… by Evangeline Anderson
Irredeemable Characters and the plot points that can redeem them.
Browsing through Wave’s blog recently I came across the excellent article by Val Kovalin about archetypes, stock characters, and stereotypes. It was interesting and well written and it got me thinking about a certain type of character I’ve been experimenting with in my own writing lately—the anti-hero.

Coming Up This Week February 7
This week is busy, busy, busy. Today I posted my review of Evangeline Anderson’s newest book starring Detectives Nick Valenti and Sean O’Brian, Heart and Soul, and if you don’t know these characters you must have come to M/M romances rather late. Nick and Sean are the protagonists in The Assignment which was released exactly 4 years ago this month, and this book is a favourite of many fans of the genre.
Lynn reviewed the second book in Bobby Michaels’ wonderful Jock Dorm series Drew and Vince yesterday and if you haven’t checked it out as yet you should do so because this is a great romance for those of you who are brave enough to read Bobby’s books. 
Jenre also reviewed A Man, A Jersey and a Tight End by A.M. Riley which is definitely worth a read.

Did you tape the Grammy’s?
If so, I need a favour. My recording device went on the fritz during the Grammy’s so I didn’t see most of the show other than snippets that are on various sites. I was wondering if someone who lives in Canada or the US (since that’s closer to where I live) could re-record the show on to a DVD and airmail it to me. I will of course pay for the mailing costs and the DVD.
Please email me at jessewave@gmail.com.
Thanks
