It's the unicorns' birthday! Everybody dance now!
Boy Meets Boy Reviews is officially FOUR!
Boy Meets Boy Reviews started out as an idea between a group of book reading friends, who wanted to share their passion with the masses! We're delighted that you took the time to visit us! And you've continued to visit for the past four years! We can not only read our books, but we can tie our shoes, count our numbers, spell words and use our imagination! Lose the training wheels, the unicorns are here to play!
We asked our favorite authors and publishers to join the unicorn jamboree and join they did. They joined HARD like a BOSS!
Wait a minute there guys, there are unicorn horns for everyone!
We're bringing back the popular giveaway-a-day! And you know what else we're bringing? Flash fiction-a-day too!
Want a list of the authors participating? Here's a taste: _l_ __st_n, C_rd_n_ C., T_l B___r, J_ck L. Pyk_, M_g H_rd_ng, K__r_ _ndr_ws and _nn_b_ll_ J_c_bs! Hmm looks like we might need to work on our spelling, the pesky vowels have run away!
We have games covered on our site, Twitter and Facebook!
Unicorn Trivia Game Returns!
Rules:
1. The questions will be on LGBT books. We usually have between 3-5 posts a day and the question could be posted on any one of those posts. The questions will ALWAYS need to have the author in the answer, but sometimes we’ll be looking for the title of the book, series name or specific character/moment/item/all sorts of things this year! Unlike last year, there will be more than one question per day, but not all days. Tricky unicorns are tricky. SO STAY WOKE!
ETA: BEGINNING NOVEMBER 13TH! 2.
3. Once you know the answer, you’ll need to tag @BMBReviews on Twitter as well as tag (or type if you can’t find them) the author(s) names. Be sure to include both authors if there are two.
4. Points will be cumulative throughout the week and winners for the week will be announced on Sundays e.g. 5th, 12th, 19th & 26th. The email address you give must match your DSP account to receive the credits.
5. In the event of a tie, there will be a tiebreaker question asked on the following Monday and it will be tagged as such so as not to be confused with the question of the day.
Good luck!
Every Saturday this month, go on our Facebook page to win GRL 2017 swag including signed paperbacks! (Like our page to make tagging the winner easier)

I simply cannot pick one favorite DSP book, that's not fair.
ReplyDeleteA Unicorn Haiku:
Unicorns are great
Unicorns are magical
Spirit animals
DSP has a lot of great titles, we admit! ;D
DeleteThanks for the Haiku, Lisa!
Sounds like fun! :D
ReplyDeleteFavorite Dreamspinner book with a unicorn is The Lightning Struck Heart.
WTH, a unicorn haiku?! Umm...
Psst...I'll tell you a secret... we're a little unicorn mad over here. ;D
DeleteName my favorite Dreamspinners Book? Why, I need a spreadsheet to list down the titles, lol! I think a couple of early Cut & Run books, Marie Sexton’s Coda series,... and many more! I’m not sure there’s any unicorn in there. ;-)
ReplyDeleteAll good choices, Dee! Thanks for visiting!
DeleteFirst, I'd like to greet you a VERY HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! <3
ReplyDeleteFave DSP book? Well, The Last Thing He Needs by J.H. Knight is one of my TOP READS of all time so I think that answers your question. ;) I'm afraid that there's no unicorn there, tho. :P
And here's a simple haiku for you guys...
Radiating with grace,
oozing with sublime beauty,
though it's a wild beast.
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE The Last Thing He Needs (could you tell from my review? LOL)
DeleteThanks for visiting and the well wishes, James!
P.S. Great haiku!
DeleteHappy anniversary unicorns!! My unicorn name is Heather Candy Foal :)
ReplyDeleteFavorite DSP books I have to go back to the early years. Marie Sexton's "Coda Series" as well as Andrea Speed's "Infected" series.
Thank you, Heather Candy Foal! ;D
DeleteGreat choices!
Happy anniversary.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite DSP book is Withered + Sere by TJ Klune. No it didn't have an unicorn :(
There are a lot of Klune-happy unicorns who might've squeed from your choice, Ana!
DeleteThanks for visiting!
Happy Anniversary.🎉
ReplyDeleteOne of many favorites from Dream Spinner is KC Wells Collars and Cuffs series. I did have a Unicorn. My dad won it for my mom and she gave it me years later. The Unicorns name was Maggie
Maggie the unicorn sounds like she was well loved!
DeleteThanks for the well wishes, Angel!
Angela:
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th Anniversary to you all :) some of my favorite DSP books are The Shearing Gun by Renae Kaye, Frog by Mary Calmes, The Last Thing he Needs by JH Knight and The Way Things Are by AJ Thomas.
My Unicorn name is: Nightshade Sparkle Horse
Great list, Nightshade Sparkle Horse! Thanks for the well wishes!
DeleteAs someone else wrote, my favorite books are also Withered + Sere by TJ Klune.
ReplyDeleteAnother Klune fan! Yay! Thanks for visiting Louise!
DeleteFern Celestial Reins that is my unicorn Name :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your anniversary. One of my favorite DSP book is Rattlesnake by Kim Fielding.
Laura05
Thanks, Fern Celestial Reins! Ah yes, Rattlesnake by Fielding is a phenomenal read!
DeleteOr so I've heard. ;)
Beyond the Surface by Felice Stevens
ReplyDeleteI'm no poet
But you didn't know it!
Great choice! Thanks for the words!
DeleteI can't pick a favorite DSP book - there are just too many wonderful ones. But I do love TJ Klune's Tales from Verania series and there is most definitely a unicorn in those books. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHere is my unicorn haiku...it's been a while since I tried anything like this...
A magical beast
You spark imagination
And share your beauty
Another one for Klune! Great haiku, Jen! Thanks
DeleteHappy Anniversary! My favorite DsP book is probably Upside Down by Andrew Grey.
ReplyDeleteThe unicorn won
His hooves and horn shining bright
Danced happily
Thanks for the well wishes, Jen!
DeleteAndrew Grey would certainly be on some of the unicorns' faves lists.
Wonderful haiku!
My favorite DSP book is Damon Suede's HOT HEAD! No unicorn in it, but Tali Spencer's THICK AS THIEVES has a pretty funny (and sexy) plotline involving a unicorn horn. This reminds me...
ReplyDeleteUnicorn shifters
Can only touch virgins? But
They must reproduce!
--Trix
--Trix
Heh! Great haiku! And great classic choice of Hot Head!
DeleteThick as Thieves remains a Unicorn Mafia favorite and unicorn rec to many readers!
My favorite DSP? Probably Amy Lane's "Chase in Shadow"
ReplyDeleteFour hooves and a horn
Don't mess with me when riled. I know
How to make my point
Thanks for the haiku! We <3 it! Great DSP classic too!
DeleteJust one book? Let me see... Family of Lies: Sebastian by Sam Argent is the first one that comes to my mind..
ReplyDeleteUnicorns have dreams
They are soft, sweet and happy
Sparky dreams to share
Wonderful haiku, booksandmore!
DeleteSam Argent? Great choice! We have a diehard fan among the ranks!
Congratulations to you from Helleborine Dainty Eyes (unicorn name)One of my favorite DSP book is September by Robert Winter
ReplyDeleteAHPG
Thanks for the congratulations, Helleborine Dainty Eyes! Cupcake went nuts for September! Great choice indeed!
DeleteHello from Rose Rainbow Nose!!
ReplyDeleteMy fave DSP (from one of my fave punlishers) is Cole McGinnis series by Rhys Ford
Suze
Hiya Rose Rainbow Nose! Can't go wrong with Rhys Ford!
DeleteMy unicorn name is Fern Sweet Horse. :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite DSP book is probably Tell Me It's Real by TJ Klune, but I do love his Verania series, where there is a unicorn for sure. ;) Also, I can't not mention how much I love all of Mary Calmes books.
My haiku:
Prancing through the woods,
Sparkling, flowing, long white mane,
A horned creature
YESSSSSSS Calmes! :D Another vote for Klune too! ;)
DeleteThanks for the haiku, Fern Sweet Horse!
Happy Anniversary. One of my fav Dreamspiiners is the series by Anthony Q. Gordon, Champion of the Gods . . . and of course there are unicorns in it. - Purple Reader,
ReplyDeleteTheWrote [at] aol [dot] com
Oh something to check out! The magic words was activated! Thanks for the well wishes, Purple Reader!
DeleteFavorite DSP book? Well...that's hard to say since there is so many great books and authors to choose from.
ReplyDeleteI'm horrible at poetry and the thought of coming up with a Haiku seems painful. But here goes:
Rainbows and glitter,
Prancing and dancing through glades,
Unicorns we are
Not painful at all. It read very well. Thanks, H.B.!
DeleteDecided to give it try, it was at lest fun at trying:
ReplyDeleteLight of the white moon
Unicorn prancing with pride
Aglow in silver
- Purple Reader, TheWrote [at] aol [dot] com
*claps hooves* That was marvelous! Thanks Purple Reader!
DeleteHi from Nightshade Darling Legs here (LOL!!!). Happy anniversary, guys! I love your reviews, I can always count on them when I need a laugh. <3
ReplyDeleteI have too many favorite DSP books but one I've re-read a few times this year is Making Nice by Elizah Davis.
Thanks for the well wishes, Nightshade Darling Legs!
DeleteMaking Nice hmm? I'll go check out more about it since it's a fave! Thanks for the rec!
Your anniversary haiku challenge inspired me to keep going, and after some of the news in the RW, I thought I'd share another haiku:
ReplyDeleteIf only we could ...
Heal this hurt, troubled world with
a Unicorn's horn.
- Purple Reader, TheWrote [at] aol [dot] com
Unicorn haikus are the best to help deal with RW news. Thanks again Purple Reader!
DeleteThe THIRDS series :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a fan fave for a reason! ;D Thanks for sharing, AM!
DeleteTHIRDS and Cut and Run series....love them both
ReplyDeleteI'm Peachy Charming Girl :)
Unicorn farting
Rainbows are sparkling on high
Spear me with your horn
I tried lol :)
Another for the THIRDS and Cut & Run series! Thanks for the haiku, Peachy Charming Girl!
DeleteMy favorite DSP book is Acrobat by Mary Calmes.
ReplyDeleteAs for my haiku, here goes:
Magical creatures
Sparkly, shiny, and pretty
Fly free unicorn
Well, I'm definitely not a poet, but I tried!!
Whoo great job, Nica. And Acrobat is certainly one of my fave Calmes! ;D
DeleteSRAL
I have almost 1000 Dreamspinner books (not that I've read most of them yet), so picking is almost impossible. I really like Charlie Cochet's THIRDS series and Jacob Z. Flores Warlock Brothers of Havenbridge series started me on the path to my current Kindle addiction.
ReplyDeleteWe can't fault anyone's eBook addiction! Thanks for commenting!
DeleteI’ve never written haiku before, but I’ll give it a try. ;-) This is more or less the current condition here.
ReplyDeleteRain falls down tonight
The riverbed is flooding
It’s cold outside
Thanks Dee! Loved it! Thanks for visiting!
DeleteCan't pick a favorite DSP books, but I remember reading I think Amy Lane first from DSP - Promise books and Talker books specifically.
ReplyDeleteMM classics! Thanks for sharing sxswann!
DeleteUnicorn haiku?? LOL!

Dejamew@centurylink.net
Hooray for another Rhys Ford fan! Thanks for the haiku!
DeleteMy favourite Dreamspinner book is...hmm, how about Empty Net by Avon Gale, Clear Water by Amy Lane, 18% Gray by Anne Tenino, and the Marshalls series by Mary Calmes.
ReplyDeleteFirst the most important part, My unicorn superhero name is Tulip Sparkle Head. Pleased to meet you.
ReplyDeleteFavorite book (No unicorns, however.) would be A Casual Weekend Thing by AJ Thomas. Loved how complex the characters were.
High on a clifftop
Mane blowing in the cool wind
Sun reflects off horn

Gary The Unicorn
