10 Controversial Books YOU May Have Read
This one will come as no surprise to you... sadly. Why is this one banned? Well, the cover... the two boys kissing on this cover was enough to send some people over the edge. They thought it would promote the 'gay agenda'. You really can't make this weird stuff up. This is one I've not read yet but I hope to do so soon.
4) Blood and Chocolate
This was wasn't banned because of the bloody scenes with werewolves fighting. No. It was banned for how the teenage girl accepted and reveled in her own sexuality. Told you most of these were about sex.
3) TTYL
This was has been called racist and it uses too much offensive language and it was way too sexually explicit for some people.
2) Carrie
The book that gave me my name has also been banned. Too much sexual content and violence they say.
1) Looking for Alaska
This one is banned for a sexually explicit scene that might make a student or young adult 'experiment'. *Eye roll* Yeah I know...
~~~~~~
So that's it! Let me know below if you've read any of these books and what you think about them!

Connect 5 Friday - Bisexual Rep (Pride Month)
When brooding security guard Zafir Ansari rescues Dani from a workplace fire drill gone wrong, it’s an obvious sign: PhD student Dani and ex-rugby player Zaf are destined to sleep together. But before she can explain that fact, a video of the heroic rescue goes viral. Now half the internet is shipping #DrRugbae—and Zaf is begging Dani to play along. Turns out, his sports charity for kids could really use the publicity. Lying to help children? Who on earth would refuse?
Dani’s plan is simple: fake a relationship in public, seduce Zaf behind the scenes. The trouble is, grumpy Zaf’s secretly a hopeless romantic—and he’s determined to corrupt Dani’s stone-cold realism. Before long, he’s tackling her fears into the dirt. But the former sports star has issues of his own, and the walls around his heart are as thick as his... um, thighs.
Suddenly, the easy lay Dani dreamed of is more complex than her thesis. Has her wish backfired? Is her focus being tested? Or is the universe just waiting for her to take a hint?

Prince of the Sorrows (Rowan Blood, #1) - Pride Book Review
When mistaken identity leads to Saffron learning the true name of brooding, self-centered, high fey Prince Cylvan, what begins as a risk of losing his life (or his tongue) becomes an opportunity to earn the future he wants. In exchange for an endorsement, he and Cylvan form a geis where Saffron agrees to find a spell to strip power from Cylvan's true name. While Prince Cylvan doesn't know Saffron can barely read, Saffron is determined to meet his end of the deal in order to remain in Alfidel—or, maybe, just to remain by Cylvan's side, as affections grow stronger every night they spend alone in the library together.
But as other human servants soon fall victim to a beast known only as “the wolf”, Saffron realizes he has embroiled himself in a manipulative reach for power like he never anticipated—and even Prince Cylvan cannot be trusted. Between the wolf, uncovering forbidden magic, and his growing feelings for the prince, Saffron will have to decide which is most important to him—his endorsement, the lives of his friends, or the prince’s life and wellbeing.
Prince of the Sorrows is a queer fantasy romance for New Adults.

THAT CLIFFHANGER!!!!!!!!!
No, no, no!!!!!
WHY DID I DO THIS TO MYSELF!?
Okay, okay. Let me take a breath here.
Bite Sized Review - I adored this novel but skimmed over when it became detail heavy.
Now, let’s actually get into all the details. I was on Amazon, looking for something on Kindle for Pride Month and that cover sucked me in! I was reminded of Hades and Persephone covers and so I downloaded it.
I started reading it before bed and got 50% in before I could put it down. I was sucked in. The world is rich, so full of details. Sometimes too much details that I skimmed to get to the action once it dragged too long.
But the next day I devoured the rest of the story and only to discover this horrible cliffhanger that just stabbed me in the heart and left me bleeding out on. My sofa. Dramatic? Sure, but so is this book!
Saffron is the MC and the POV we follow and let me tell you... he’s abused all the time. Like everyone likes to beat him up. This world is dark and cruel. Yet, somehow he still has this innocent like quality to him.
This fantasy world is unlike any I’d read. It’s very progressive with its take on pronouns and sexuality and I am freaking here for it! Hell freaking yeah!
I recommend this, but honestly not till the second is out because the cliffhanger is insane and I hate it, in the best way. I really need the second volume now.
As for the spice level... there's like one scene and it's graphic but this wasn't a very spicy book at all to me.

Two Bite Sized Reviews
Hello, welcome little butterfly. I hope you’re having a wonderful week! I actually read a few books last week and so I actually have some reviews to share with you! I received both in exchange for an honest review. So let’s get to it!

She’s a mad hatter. He’s a loyal brother. Together they must survive a world steeped in blood.Book Breakdown
VAMPIRES ARE BACK!!!!!!
I know many people credit Crave with bringing back vampires, but in my humble opinion, Maddie is bringing vampires back!

Medium Heat Level |
Maddie is awesome! I love the gender flip. I won’t lie. Normally, I’m not into gender flipping. I don’t know why, it’s just not my thing, but here. I love our female Mad Hatter! She’s quirky, but without being overdone. She’s strong and yet still sweet as can be. Ugh. I love her.
Noah is great too! I loved watching their romances as they embark on a plan to save their sisters. It was pretty slow burn too, which is just perfect for these two.
Honestly, this is great!

Music Monday - Vanessa Carlton (Pride Month)
"'It was two female fans who inspired the 35-year-old singer-songwriter to come out as a "proud bisexual woman" during a 2010 performance at Nashville Pride.
When she spotted the couple in the audience, Carlton said she "felt their pain, in a way," and felt inspired to come out on the spot.
"I wanted to connect with them," she said. "I wanted them to know I understood."
Carlton said the declaration hasn't had a major impact on her music "one way or the other." Still, she added, "People that are really struggling with their sexuality will feel comfortable talking with me about it, or they'll be like, 'Thank you.'" - HuffPost

So let's jump into these songs! Let's start with the one that got super popular back in 2002.

(Pride) Book Review - Sagittarius Saves Libra
True love is on the horizon, Sagittarius. It’s a good time to step out of your routine and into the unknown.
Jason Lyall wants someone to come home to, someone he can be his most ridiculous self with. Someone who loves him regardless. But no matter how hard he tries, he can never quite make that connection, and now his last girlfriend has moved on—she’s engaged.
So when his identical twin begs him to swap lives for a few weeks, Jason can see the appeal. Suddenly he’s living another life in a tiny Australian town, contending with weird, wild, and wonderful things the likes of which he’s never encountered before. Like spiders. Like snakes.
Like his new neighbour, Sergeant Owen Stirling, who is all kinds of . . . suspicious.
Prepare to be caught in a merry mix-up, Libra. It’s a dance of side-stepping and seduction.
Book Breakdown
I did not know this was coming! When I woke up on June 1st and saw an email from Amazon saying the author dropped a new book in this series... I lost it! I honestly thought she’d finished this series because we hadn’t gotten a new book since 2020, but out here we are!
This is also the perfect book to review this month! It’s a m/m contemporary romance.
Something that all of Anyta Sunday’s books have in common is the laugh factor. Her books always crack me up! Sunday’s characters are always so funny and never cannot make me smile. Her books are usually low angst and just super feel good, and this one is no different.![]() |
Spice Level |
Now everyone in this small town is wondering why these two are going out. Even his birth mother, who Jason has never met because he was adopted.
A lot of drama happens, a lot of laughs and just slowly falling for Owen with Jason because he’s just so swoony. If you’re looking for a great m/m romance, that will make you feel good and have your stomach hurting from laughing so much. Then this is for you!
Really, this whole series is just the top shelf! One of my favorites of all time!
