Smexy’s Top Ten – Smexy Turns Six! Feelings and Boners.

March 27, 2015 by Mandi 49 Comments

I think “Feelings and Boners” should be the new Smexy Books tagline. I tweeted that in regard to a book I was describing on Twitter, and someone said it should be our tagline. It fits, right? We don’t take ourselves all too seriously, but we are passionate about romance books. And feelings. And….boners. We like to have fun.

Smexy Books is six years old! Does it feel like it’s been six years? Yes. LOL. What did I do with my life before Smexy Books and Twitter? I really can’t remember.

I thought about how to celebrate six years. Write a mushy post about my love for my Smexy girls and readers? Talk about the impact the romance community has had on my life? How much I love romance authors?

Instead, Tori and I decided to do a top ten to celebrate. We love a top ten list.


10. The great cock debate

https://smexybooks.com/2014/12/smexys-top-ten-sex-scenes-of-2014.html

We at smexybooks do love cock. In books, you pervs! One of Smexy Books’ best top tens posts of 2014 was not only a post on the top ten sex scenes of 2014 but also the number of times the word ‘cock’ appears in each book. The winner(s) were Alisha Rai and Kit Rocha with 84 cocks each. *fist bump*

9. Sheena

This past year brought Sheena to Smexy Books, and she has made blogging even more fun! She has the best sense of humor, which I think is shown in her reviews so well. When we have emails with the group back and forth, she always, ALWAYS makes me giggle. She is so passionate about romance books (especially if they involve motorcycles) – we just adore her.

8. One of Tori’s Many, Many, Many Rants

https://smexybooks.com/2014/01/must-i-take-the-high-road-a-rant-in-the-making.html

Tori loves a good rant. Some of our most viewed posts ever are Tori rants.

7. Smexy’s reading resolutions for 2014-did we adhere to it or toss aside as usual?

https://smexybooks.com/2014/01/our-2014-reading-resolutions.html

Did we? Mandi kind of failed. I DO listen to a ton of audio books. I’m quite obsessed at the moment. I’m still obsessed with reclusive heroes, virgin heroes, and Jon Hamm’s peen. Not sure if I’ve read a present day marriage of convenience but I’ll be on the look out.

Tori: I pretty much sucked at keep my resolutions but I usually do so… I ended up reading even MORE books in 2014, still haven’t learned to say no, and sucked up NA like a Hoover vacuum. I did look for more beta heroes and balanced relationships in romancelandia so that was a plus.

6. Smex Scene Sunday

https://smexybooks.com/category/smex-scene-sunday

Smex Scene Sunday (SSS) is our most popular feature. Tori and I take turns posting a very sexy scene from recent read every Sunday. It’s fun to be reading a book and come upon a scene that you just know would make a perfect SSS post. Sometimes it not even actual sex but the dirty talk that leads up to it. I get emails asking for more days featuring smex scenes. Listen – there is only so much Smex we can come up with!! *wink* Actually – I’m playing around with the idea of doing something like Erotic Tuesday’s (because Tuesday’s are so boring). And we will feature an erotic book each Tuesday and maybe do something else erotic…. I need to discuss with the Smexy girls… But stay tuned.

5. May’s favorite review of this past year:

https://smexybooks.com/2014/12/review-light-my-fire-by-g-a-aiken.html

Light My Fire by GA Aiken.

4. Helyce’s favorite review of the past year:

https://smexybooks.com/2015/02/review-bringing-home-the-bad-boy-by-jessica-lemmon.html

https://smexybooks.com/2014/12/28333.html


It’s a two-fer! Bringing Home the Bad Boy by Jessica Lemmon and Heart by Garrett Leigh.


3. Our Serious Side

Smexybooks has its serious side too you know. We freely offer our Smexy know how for important surveys and research. Such as Cover Poll: To Hair or Not to Hair? https://smexybooks.com/2014/06/cover-poll-to-hair-or-not-to-hair.html

What?


2. Our Top Ten Viewed Posts of this past year:

Smexy’s Top Ten Favorite Sex Scenes of 2011

Top Ten Favorite Sex Scenes of 2013

An On Dublin Street Christmas by Samantha Young

Excerpt of Rock Addiction by Nalini Singh

On behalf of Tori, May, Helyce and Sheena – Thank YOU!

    I just hope I never live in a world where Mandi is not obsessed with Jon Hamm’s peen.

        Good, today needs more laughter . Seriously though this blog has helped me find so many great reads. So many of my keepers came because of reviews on Smexy and yes it taught me the word hammaconda.
        So Thanks ;)

    Congrats! Your blog is the best out there! Not to get all schmoopy, but you gals have made my day more times than I can count with your crazy, fearless humor about all things (especially peen). Which, I suppose, balances out the hundreds of dollars I’ve spent on books thanks to your reviews. Lol
    As a side note, hubs and I have been marathon catching up on Mad Men. I shared the Smexy Jon Hamm peen fascination. Last night, can’t remember which episode, hubs points to the screen and says “Look! Omg, you’re right.”

      Thank you sooo much Deb. I love reading your comments – we share a similar taste in books which makes it so much fun.

      Sometimes I write things about peen and think – what the hell am I doing?? LOL.

      That comment about Mad Men and your hubs made me laugh out loud. Hahahaha

    I love smexybooks and visit daily, but I want to chime in to write that I am particularly fond of Weekly Wrap-Up as well – it gives me heads up on some titles and I picked many books this way.
    And yes to Sheena! Sheena <3<3
    I hope we'll see more Tori's rants and joint posts on serious stuff like peens, feels and beards.
    Never change, Mandi & the gang. Never change. :D

    Mandi when I saw your modern marriage of convince book resolution I thought of 2 books. Ava Lore the Billionaire’s Wife and Noelle Adams a Negotiated Marriage. Dunno if you’ve read them or not but they’re good and the Adams one is really well done.

    And without Smexy’s recommendations I would never have known that Ty and Zane were out there – and that would just be tragic ;)
