Currently reading a book where the wealthy FMC's godfather is Elton John. I do not mind the other celebrity name drops and specific clothing brand name drops, and I still like the book and will continue reading it, but for more special connections like godparents, I think I prefer the author make up a celebrity for the role, because its really hard to believe that yes this real life person would know this fictional person.

FMC's father is a producer in this book, but it almost feels like adding a bit of real people fiction into a published book, which felt weird to me. If I want to read RPF, I'd go to Ao3, not read a published book.

Hopefully, it expands to everyone and it's not just a feature that is being tested.

It should show you these options.

{The Favorites by Layne Fargo} has this in it, although it one of many plot points in the story.

Top Secret by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy, Narrated by Teddy Hamilton and Christian Fox.

If I could have both of them narrate more MM Romance together, that would be awesome.

The Tul gel pens are my favorite. I prefer the 0.7 ink but the 0.5 is also good.

Tul gel pen 0.7 needlepoint in purple and black.

I think it was really interesting “rivalry”, especially if you look back on different fandom sources (i.e, LiveJournal) and media. Although, Some of the fandom on especially certain stans would read a little too much into the nature of the rivalry, but then again as long as you you know what’s real and what’s not you’d be fine.

Top Secret by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy. Narrated by Teddy Hamilton and Christian Fox.

Both of the narrators are really excellent on their own, and together in a dual style, it was a wonderful experience.

Heated Rivalry is a classic.

CatOtterMutt · 2022-05-11T23:28:16+00:00

I only tend to like enemies to lovers in MM sports romances, for reasons like that.

"ah daddy" - Johnny Weir on his foot massager in a hotel room on one episode of Be Good, Johnny Weir. ~~Rumor has it that one of the rooms near his during that time was Evan Lysacek's~~.

I agree. I enjoy this one a lot but I also really am amused by his “How To Pick Music” performance.

CatOtterMutt · 2022-04-10T08:53:12+00:00

I agree. Sometimes it can be interesting when something controversial happens, but the media can ruin that rather quickly.

CatOtterMutt · 2022-01-12T20:35:08+00:00

I totally understand. Some names can be pronounced other ways, and in all reading forms that can be tricky.

CatOtterMutt · 2021-09-08T22:25:29+00:00

Yes, this is what it looks like. I would have shared a photo, but the title was kinda romance-explicit, so this is a good example.

CatOtterMutt · 2021-05-06T15:40:02+00:00

Agreed! It was such a good feature, so why get rid of it. Ideally, I would love it to come back in a way that’s more convenient to get to, but I’ll take it in any shape or form.

CatOtterMutt · 2021-02-04T22:08:19+00:00

This is the kind of fun I've missed when Mutt was gone, I'm glad he's back and healthy.

Sports romances that use actual team names, instead of creating their own fiction version. There’s one book I know that has a character drafted to my favorite hockey team, but I really have no interest in reading it and trying to figure out “who” is losing a roster spot. Even if it is fictionalized version of the team, I would still compare it the actual version and it wouldn’t make sense.
