Rules:
1. Answer all the questions below in either the comments here or post it on your own site. If you post it on your own site you have to come back and give the link here so I/Kris can mosey on over and see if you have a sticky beak.
2. You have to tag two other people once your done and pester them relentlessly until they do the meme too.
3. Instead of a meme image thing you have to post a cookie, preferably a twofer. It is an m/m meme after all. ;)
Questions:
1. How long have you been reading GLBTQ fiction? About 1 1/2 years
2. What was the first book you read in this genre? Heaven Sent by Jet Mykles.
3. Are you ‘out’ as a reader? Oh yes. I blog about it, and try to make my friends read it. I think everyone should at least try it!
4. Ebooks, print or both? For m/m books – almost all e-books. However, I do buy Josh Lanyon in print because they go on my keeper shelf. I kind of wish more m/m books would be in print.
5. Do you buy direct from publishers or from secondary sellers? Direct from publisher
6. Prove you’re a Book Slut. How many books would you say you buy a week? I buy at least one m/m book a week – maybe two a week. Overall, including m/f books – err….lots. :)
7. Are you a cover, blurb or excerpt buyer? I LOVE a good cover. Seriously, covers are important. I will read an excerpt if it is a book I am looking forward to.
8. Yeah, you read reviews, but do you actually take notice of them? I do if it is a blog I like going to. That is where I find most of rec’s – I’m looking at you Erotic Horizon!
9. Who’s your fave publisher? Probably Loose ID or Samhain.
10. What about authors? Your top two only!! I’m totally cheating, but I have never read something I didn’t like from Josh Lanyon, L.B. Gregg and Ava March.
11. Is there a sub-genre you particularly dis/like? I like everything..as long as it is a good story.
12. Short or long?? *rolls eyes* And, no, I’m not talking about cocks. I don’t mind the novella lengths..it is a nice change from a longer novel. But like with any book, if I really like it, I would rather it not end :)
13. Anything turn you off about m/m or is all just glorious smut to you? I heart smut. Give it to me in all of its glory.
14. Finish this sentence. You know it’s m/m twu wuv when… your lover divorces his wife, quits his job and devotes the rest of his life to you (at least Jake better devote his life to Adrien or we are going to have words)
15. What trope or theme are you heartily sick of in m/m romance? Again, I heart the manlove smut..not sick of anything yet.
16. If you could choose any 3 characters for a m/m/m who would they be? Jake Riordan (Lanyon), Mark (Gobsmacked – Gregg), Arsen Grey (Object of His Desire – March) I would love to watch them fight for dominance ;)
17. What new GLBTQ release are you most hanging out for right now? The Dark Tide – Josh Lanyon. I heart Adrien!
18. What GLBTQ book has completely blown you away this year? I really loved Bound to Him Ava March, Cover Me LB Gregg, Faith and Fidelity – Tere Michaels (’08 release), Somebody Killed His Editor – Josh Lanyon
19. What do you think we’ll see more of in m/m romance in 2010? I think we will see a lot more PNR.
20. Don’t you agree that author Josh Lanyon should kill off arsehole character Jake Riordan? *gasp* NO! Jake is turning over a new leaf. I can feel it. He is ready for a commitment and lots of naughty lovin’.
Tag – Fiction Vixen and Orannia :)
Katiebabs a.k.a KB says
You forgot to mention what type of snack Little Eddie is taking.
I am bring Mho. He may get us thrown out of the theater.
Mandi says
Yes, Little Eddie will be well taken care of. Pictures to come…;)
Smokinhotbooks says
I'm mad crushing on your little Edward dollie.
I loved this m/m meme I was cracking up reading your responses.
Mandi says
Hey – hands off Little Eddie
Blodeuedd says
Hehe, I think you can keep little Eddie, don't worry ;)
Patti says
haha – lovin' Little Eddie! I went to the midnight show and it was awesome! The funniest thing was that when Jacob took off his shirt for the first time everyone in the theatre went "ooohhh" and then everyone laughed because we all did it! TLaut really did a great job in this film. Have fun!
Mandi says
I'm going to say ooooh really loud ;)
Glad you had fun! I'm def looking forward to tomorrow night!
Katiebabs a.k.a KB says
I should really get a Little Eddie and Jacob doll. Then I can make them do naughty things together.
Twilight Slash!
Mandi says
Yes, kick Bella out of the triangle – this saga could def use some m/m action.
Erotic Horizon says
Hey Mandi – still cracking up here…
I still can't believe you have a Edward doll – I am so wanting one…
Have a wonderful evening tomorrow night… have loads of cocktails before you head out… you are going to need it..
M/M – I am very pleased to add to your M?M smutty buying experience…
That threesome – Oh to be a fly on that wall.
Wait until Kris gets over here – she wants us all to tar and feather Jake… Glad you think he is turning over a new leave…
I also wish more M/m book would go to print… there are some that are definitely keeper shelf worthy…
E.H>
Roni @ FictionGroupie says
Enjoy your movie night! I'm going tonight and dragging the hubby–he's looking for brownie points I think, lol.
Mandi says
Jake deserves a little of his own medicine…but I need a happy ending!
Roni – I made husband watch Twilight on DVD – I think he secretly liked it ;)
Kris says
EH, you're making me out to be a rabid anti-Jake campaigner. People will get a totally false impression of me.
Mandi, you are so shameless in your love of manlove smut. No wonder I like you ;) … in spite of your delusions about Jake.
Erotic Horizon says
@Kris..
Who is this person
Because the kris I know is a "rabid anti-Jake campaigner"
I want her back, rolling around sorting out her posse… and having no luck.. *** grinning smugly***
E.H>
Kris says
*trout stare*
heidenkind says
The weird thing is, I couldn't tell any difference between RPatt's acting and Little Eddies. O_O
*snicker*
Mandi says
Kris – Don't play coy…U don't like the Jakie and that is fine by me ;) I'm really looking forward to see how it all plays out in just a few weeks:)
Heidenkind – You are evil! ;) (I say that with love)
Ava March says
Oh – Little Eddie and Jacob dolls!! Love it, Katiebabs. Now I won't be able to watch the movie without wanting to scream – 'kiss him, Edward!'. LOL
Fab answers on the meme, Mandi!!! I'd love to watch those 3 fight for dominance, too ;)
I hope you and Little Eddie have a great time at the movie!

I hope Little Eddie had a nice time with you girls! Hopefully you were easy on him! ;) Looking forward to pics! :D
Danielle87 says
I've given you an award. Because you kick-ass. It's on my blog.
:)
READFREEK says
Ha-ha, I hope you and Little Eddie enjoyed the film.
orannia says
Mandi, KB, Little Eddie & Mho watching New Moon together. Oh, I can't wait for the photos :)
Great meme Mandi! Hmmm, I'll need to put my thinking cap on and do it tonight – I've been AWOL for a few days so must catch up! I have my answer for No. 20 already *grin*
Chris says
Hee hee – not a single one of us doing the meme has restricted herself to two authors.
Mandi says
Oh good, I'm not the only one who broke the rule ;)
