I've been meaning to write a post like this for ages, because I wanted somewhere to try and work out what I'm looking for when I read m/m books, and why I like some and find others just meh, despite them having good reviews from many other people.

My caveat is that I'm pretty specific about what I'm looking for in a story, and I'm greedy - I want it all! Characterisation, plot and place all have to work in the right way for me to love a book, and it's not to say that they don't work in other ways that other people will love when they don't work that way for me. And vice-versa - it should be unnecessary to say, but I'll say it anyway - the books I adore might not work for anyone else in the same way. And all of that said... here's:
