Challenge #6
Top 10 Challenge.
Cheating big time! But finding the Top 10 books I read this year was too daunting (even when I cheated and counted a whole series as one 😍). So here, have a few Top 10s. These are all books I've read this year (mostly). I didn't count re-reads (of which there were many and would have skewed the results drastically).

Date: 2026-01-13 08:24 am (UTC)If you like queer male romances, may I recommend some authors I like: Christie Gordon writes hockey romances but also football, skaters and bands, so it's not all sports. KJ Charles writes mostly historical, English romances but very well written. And Avery Cockburn writes about Scottish football (soccer) romances.
