My Undoing

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Gay and Lesbian
by: Aiden Shaw

May 03, 2006
Upon reading the first page of this book I thought I was reading a 'PORN NOVEL', this soon tamed down and just became various stories of Aiden's very interesting, and saucy, life.

Definately recommended, but if you are a bit of a Prude, maybe best to avoid this one!

Distant Shores, Silent Thunder

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Gay and Lesbian
by: Radclyffe

2005-03
Safe Harbor, Beyond the Breakwater and now the best of the bunch (in my opinion). Distant Shores, Silent Thunder is Radclyffe at the top of her game - action and mystery intertwine with beloved familiar characters, steamy passion and wonderful romance. In the third of the Provincetown series we get all the familiar characters - still as sexy and compelling as before, but we are also given the gift of a new love affair blossoming despite all the difficulties. Familiar characters continue to grow and learn about themselves as we learn about them. All in all - perfection.... And did I mention sexy???

Media, Gender and Identity: An Introduction

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Gay and Lesbian
by: David Gauntlett

July 25, 2002
I read „Media, Gender and Identity" during my research about men's magazines. I found it extremely helpful as it offers ideas that I haven't found in any other books. Gauntlett is very open-minded in his approach to this and other topics. Instead of damning phenomenon like the upcoming of Loaded, FHM and Co. he tries to positively explain their influence on society. This is overall the most modern book I have read about the influence of media on gender and identity as it takes in consideration pop music, films and magazines and in my opinion paints a realistic image of the world of young people today.
I can only advise anyone to read this book who is interested in how media influences society. It is written in a very well understandable language ... Read More:

Fated Love

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Gay and Lesbian
by: Radclyffe

July 06, 2005
I was quite shocked to see that no one has written a review for this book to date and I felt compelled to write something.

Having read all of Radclyffes books and enjoyed them all - I want to marry Reece from the Province Town Series :-)
I feel that Fated Love is again another excellent easy read from Radclyffe.
The characters of Honor and Quinn are very likeable (and very sexy - especially Quinn - I kinda like the tall, dark, brooding kind of heroine)
The story is carefully woven and well paced and you do get drawn into the lives of Honor and Quinn and those around them and you find yourself hoping that Honor will take the risk to love again as Quinn is perfect for her.
For someone who has never read a Radclyfee book ... Read More:

Straight

How i loved to read this book. I couldn't actually stand George when i read this. Totally changed my opinion and I was so glad to read the comments about Madonna.....how right can you get it!!

ON a more serious note, well worth the read and not bad like some reviews would make you believe.
