Welcome to the Ultimate BL Lover's Guide. This is an ongrowing list for anything and everything a BL Lover might enjoy.
This is a community project, so I'm leaving the lines open for everyone and anyone who like to help contribute to my work! Know of a series that's not on the list? Tell me the title and under what category and I'll get right on that!
Currently I am using whatever summaries I can find off of Amazon. Sadly, as you can imagine, over half these titles are not sold there, therefore I will have no summaries of them. If you would like to submit to be a two to three sentence summary, please do, either by PM or on the thread. ( If it's a Yaoi or Shota title, if you could possibly guess an appropriate reading age as well, that would be most helpful )
Lastly, this thread will have an ever-changing poll! You, the reader, decides what to rate a title! So check back often!
Enjoy!
