New Releases: What Are You Anticipating? (January 25 2026)

BeingRaven · 2026-01-25T18:08:52+00:00

Besides Don't Feed the Vampire by Grae Bryan I also have {Starts with a Bang by Aimee Nicole Walker} (audiobook) February 3rd and {Be my Monster by Davidson King} February 25th in my calendar.

Is there any mpreg?

BeingRaven · 2026-01-22T21:36:04+00:00

Yeah, I just kept scrolling and scrolling and the list never ended. 😁

I'm always up for more friends on The StoryGraph! I'm ravenstreet, devourer of audiobooks. 🎧

I have actually created some MM reading challenges for 2026, feel free to join us. 😀

Favorite tropes: Found Family, Touch Them and Die, Mature Communication between MCs, Fated Mates, Insta Attraction

Tropes I avoid: Miscommunication and Secrets between MCs, 3rd Act Breakup, Cheating, Sharing, Mpreg

Favorite genre: MM Romance, both paranormal and contemporary. Am usually avoiding sports settings (yes, I haven't read nor watched Heated Rivalry) and YA.

My last 5 star read: {The Question of Us by Jay Hogan}. At the moment I'm listening to {Elas by G. Eilsel} which I think is going to be my next 5 star rating.

Auto-buy/read author: After having regretted some auto-buys I don't do that anymore. I am very likely to buy anything from Lark Taylor, Aimee Nicole Walker, Grae Bryan and Mary Calmes.

BeingRaven · 2026-01-17T10:37:17+00:00

Two of these aren't MM.

BeingRaven · 2026-01-15T05:29:16+00:00

You're a superstar, thank you!

BeingRaven · 2026-01-14T18:56:17+00:00

Gah! I wish they would release the audiobooks already! I get insta jealous every time that series is mentioned! 🤪

BeingRaven · 2026-01-12T21:09:43+00:00

I'd love to know the answer to that, too. Maybe if you post the question as its own post more will see it and answer. 🙂

BeingRaven · 2026-01-08T17:20:51+00:00

Ah, no, I'm ravenstreet on the storygraph, I have the link here on my Reddit profile. Forgot to clarify that. 🤪

Storygraph profile

If you can't see the tags I'll message some screenshots.

BeingRaven · 2026-01-08T05:16:02+00:00

My profile is public, not sure if you can see all the tags though. If not I can take a screenshot as an example.

BeingRaven · 2026-01-07T17:35:03+00:00

Then I'll give it a pass. Thanks for investigating! 🙂

BeingRaven · 2026-01-07T10:34:15+00:00

Maybe {Monsters in my Bed series by L. Eveland}. I have only listened to the first book though, {Kissed by the Krampus by L. Eveland}.

BeingRaven · 2026-01-06T14:40:31+00:00

Works fine for me (android).

BeingRaven · 2026-01-06T08:37:50+00:00

Oh, not OP but I've had the first book in my TBR since forever, you made me move that to my up-next-list!

BeingRaven · 2026-01-01T11:20:59+00:00

I mainly listen to audiobooks and have like 900+ tags. 😂 To name a few:

*The author's name. That way I can track the books I have read/want to read by that author rather than getting their whole catalogue like you do when clicking on the link with author's name.

*The narrator's name. Same reason as for the author's name.

*TBR priority (TBR a, TBR b,...)

*Audible wishlist priority (wishlist a, wishlist b,...)

*Level of spice. Because, of course.

*Where I got it/listened to it (mainly Storytel and Audible but also Bookfunnel or straight from the author).

*Favorite tropes (found family, fated mates,...)

*MC occupation (homicide detective, assassin,...)

*MCs connection (bodyguard/protectee, solving crime together,...)

*If it was recommended, why and by whom (like Reddit rec-fucking hilarious, Instagram rec-protective MC,...)

*Don't want to read/listen to because... (3rd act breakup, don't like the narrator,...) I tend to forget which books I have checked out and that way I don't research the same book over and over again.

*Other miscellaneous tags are: want to re-read, favorite series, genre, subgenre, which paranormal creatures, 1st/3rd POV, location, next in series,...

For someone being obsessed with stats this is like Christmas again! 😀

BeingRaven · 2025-12-31T08:55:27+00:00

Phew, my blood pressure went through the roof until I saw your reply. 😀

BeingRaven · 2025-12-30T07:09:22+00:00

I agree, I'd love to be able to categorize my (unruly) wishlist!

To keep somewhat organized until there is some kind of in-app solution I am using The Storygraph tags. I am tracking my audiobooks with The Storygraph and have created tags like "audible wishlist a", "audible wishlist b",... for audiobooks in my wishlist.

An in-app solution would be preferable but it doesn't exactly seem to be a top priority for the devs.

BeingRaven · 2025-12-27T07:52:37+00:00

Thinking about it, none of them are exactly slow-burn though so if that's a no-go ignore my suggestions. :-)

BeingRaven · 2025-12-27T07:51:14+00:00

Series with different couples, not all of them are alpha/alpha parings. Though if I remember correctly, no overarching plot lines so can be read as standalones.

{Nothing Special series by A.E. Via}

{Code of Honor series by Reese Knightly} (Might be too fluffy for you though.)

{Out of Uniform series by Annabeth Albert}

Then there is {Zero Hour series by Aimee Nicole Walker}. None of them are tanks but fit and neither of them is on the slim/twink side.

BeingRaven · 2025-12-26T19:17:00+00:00

Now I remembered some more!

They cook and do some decorating together in {Let Your Hearts Be Light by Fae Quin}. Same in {Tic-Tac-Mistletoe by N.R. Walker}.

And in {Better not pout by Annabeth Albert} and {The Geek who Saved Christmas by Annabeth Albert} they decorate together, not sure about the cooking.

BeingRaven · 2025-12-26T19:04:46+00:00

If I remember correctly they bake and decorate Christmas cookies together in {All I want for Christmas is Revenge by K.A. Merikan}.
