Matthew reads, I guess...

So, a good while back, I wrote a post about 2gether by JittiRain – a BL book from Thailand that I read on my Kindle. And now, I’ve read Theory of Love , also by JittiRain. Theory of Love , much like 2gether was also turned into a limited series which I have in fact watched, so I already vaguely knew the story of this book before getting into it. Also, this time I have a physical copy of the book, one that’s been translated too. Anyway, I know I normally use the blurb, but I don’t need to for this one. The concept, or I guess the peanut butter and Blurby sandwich of this book (from the show) is that Third is in love with his best friend, Khai, and has been for two/three years, but Khai doesn’t know. Then eventually, Third decides he doesn’t want to be in love with Khai anymore because he keeps getting hurt. So he basically starts to distance himself from Khai, which Khai isn’t best pleased about. Now, the bit that is written on the back of the book only mentions that Third is in love ...

  So! This post is technically a part two to my last post – the one about Proxy by Alex London (which you can read here). This post is about its sequel, Guardian , and as such this post will contain spoilers about Proxy . If you want the video version of this post (CLICK HERE) But as is tradition, the what’s my name? Blurb-yanka. It tells us that Syd is now the figurehead of a revolution that now has a bodyguard, Liam. Now, it also mentions a “post-jubilee world”, which was telling me that the jubilee sort of just happened in between books (which it did, and I will mention later.) Besides the post-jubilee world, there’s this new infectious disease going on, and then Syd basically has to find a cure, and what he discovers leaves him stunned. So, we’ve got a plot immediately, there’s this disease and Syd has designated himself to be the one to get the cure, nice and simple. Although, I did immediately notice there was no mention of Knox or Marie in this blurb, so I did wonder how pr...

  Today I’m writing about Proxy by Alex London which has, unsurprisingly, been sat on my shelf for a little while. Now, I do know that this book is one of two – the sequel being Guardian . I do own the sequel and will be reading it after this one. And because this is book one of two, this is going to be more of a recap with review elements, rather than a straight up review, because the story doesn’t actually end at the end of Proxy. If you want the video version of this post (CLICK HERE) So, the Blurb Wellington immediately says that Syd’s life is not his own, and as a proxy, he must pay for someone else’s crimes. Then when Knox, Syd’s patron, crashes a car and kills someone, Syd is sentenced to death. Then Syd and Knox want to beat the system, so end up on a cross country chase. Lovely. A nice simple concept that’s easy enough to understand, and lord, I’m not trying to think when I read, so I love something simple. We’re introduced to Knox immediately, he’s speeding down a road w...
