Weekend Updates 8/23/14

There is a really fun challenge going around the Internets – no, I’m not talking about the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge – It’s a challenge for readers to name the “10 Books that have stayed with me” throughout their life. I’ve been challenged by a follower to pick my 10, and it was more difficult than I originally thought… I’ll be posting my TEN very soon, so stay tuned!

I stumbled across an interesting article this week from Eliete Daily called Why Readers, Scientifically, Are The Best People To Fall In Love With and while the post was technically published last month, it’s new to me and might be unknown to you, so I thought I’d share:

“Readers, like voicemail leavers and card writers, are now a dying breed, their numbers decreasing with every GIF list and online tabloid.
The worst part about this looming extinction is that readers are proven to be nicer and smarter than the average human, and maybe the only people worth falling in love with on this shallow hell on earth.”

So, you might have heard (here on the Smutsonian) that JA Huss has a new serial series about to come out called Social Media, but did you know that the two main characters – who have an erotic relationship which begins online – actually have active Twitter accounts? Genius Marketing! I recommend you go follow @VaughnAsher & @FilthyBlueBird and while you’re at it, follow @JAHUSS!

We’re Booked!

Ha! Booked… See what I did there? *clears throat* Sorry… What I meant to say is that our calendar is jam packed for the coming months. I’ve been careful to leave a few free days here and there for any surprise new releases, but we’re already booking dates through December 2014! :O

I’m keeping the “Request a Review” page open, but I am plenty stocked for new and exciting books in the coming weeks and months.

I’ve realized two things:
1. I might need to retire from my weekly guest post at BOM Books in 2015
2. I might need to bring in an intern and a contributing reviewer next year

Thank you to all the subscribers of The Smutsonian for making this naughty little blog big enough to be considering such things!

Next week we’ll by hosting an Indie Author Spotlight on Patricia A. Knight, the talented author behind the Verdandia Series. We’re going to explore the new and exciting world of ‘Choose your Own Adventure’ Erotica with author Erzabet Bishop. We’ll posing more reviews from the BDSM serial series ‘Brie‘ by Red Phoenix. We have a sneak peek of FOLLOW from JA Huss, an awesome giveaway, and all kinds of additional shenanigans will ensue!

Weekend Updates 8/9/14

What a week! The Smutsonian continues to grow – We officially have over 9,000 email subscribers! No pressure, right?

We got word from the powerhouse known as JA Huss that we’re on the cusp of the reveal for her Super Secret Mystery Project… The Smutsonian is all signed up for both the Cover Reveal & a Review of whatever the Mystery turns out to be… I have high hopes!

The best thing to happen to Twitter in a long time: RandomHouse challenged the internet to re-write the blurbs for famous books using emojis using #emojireads. The result was kind of spectacular, and it got everybody talking about their favorite books, which is always a good thing. Some of my favorite examples:

In other news: I’m giving a standing ovation to Dani (at GoodReads & My Fiction Nook). Her witty comments and reviews are always pointing me toward new and exciting MM titles, but I’m extra impressed with her amazing & amusing review of BAMF, the new MM Erotic Romance from S.J.D. Peterson. She said the one thing guaranteed to get my attention:

You know how sometimes you’re walking along and you get your face smacked by a giant cock?
No?
Huh.
Well, this book is like getting your face smacked by a giant cock.

Sold. Dani wins the internet this week!

The Winner was announced for last week’s Giveaway – Blair Smyth will be receiving any book of her choosing from the library of Shay Savage. Thank you to everyone who entered, and a huge thank you to Shay Savage for offering one of her books!

Twilight…

I have not read ANY of the Twilight books, nor have I seen the movies…

I’m not going to pass judgement on a series I’ve never read. I figure, whatever gets people interested in reading is a great thing. Personally, I don’t read teenage characters. I prefer my MCs to be adults with adult-related angst. Plus, I read Erotica and underage sex doesn’t do anything for me. I still love vampires, but I’ll stick to the ones who don’t sparkle…

Oddly enough, I have read a bunch of books which started out as Twilight Fan-Fic: FSoG, Beautiful Bastard, Wallbanger, & Gabriel’s Inferno among others…

I’m still working my way through the Brie Series, so you can expect a few more reviews for Red Phoenix‘s D/s Serial.

I’ll be doing an extended Spotlight on new author Kitty Mulholland & her Fierce & Fabulous Anthology.

I’ll also be checking out Monster from Ben Burgess – Erotica from the male perspective, written by a male author… 

We’ve got some exciting things coming up – more giveaways, author interviews, and lots more reviews on the sexiest books on the planet! We’ll be participating in in a few Blog Hops over the next few weeks and we’ve got a few more cover reveals

We’re going to help promote the new super secret mystery project from JA Huss, but don’t tell anybody, cause it’s a secret 😉

And since you’ve asked – and I live to serve – I’ll be picking up a few more MM Erotic Romances! Feel free to tweet me if you have any more requests!
