If you haven’t checked out Goodreads or the M/M Romance group you should take a look.
What is Goodreads?
“Goodreads is the largest social network for readers in the world. We have more than 4,600,000 members who have added more than 130,000,000 books to their shelves. A place for casual readers and bona-fide bookworms alike, Goodreads members recommend books, compare what they are reading, keep track of what they’ve read and would like to read, form book clubs and much more.” (source: Goodreads)
What is the M/M Romance Group?
“The #1 resource on the internet for M/M Romance fans, this group has something for everyone.
- Book and Series Discussions
- Daily Updates on New Releases and Author News
- Book of the Month Group Reads
- Reading Challenges
- Author Info & Writing Discussions
- Erotic Photos
- Games, Contests & Quizes”

The group currently has 2700 members, and they estimate they’ll have 3000 by mid June. They are also the top 20th most popular group on Goodreads which totally kicks ass when you think about the fact that this group is based on such a small niche market. Definitely a sign that readership and love of the genre is growing.
As a reader of m/m romances, I only wish I had more time to hang out there. If you’re a reader of the genre, you should definitely think about checking out the M/M Romance group.
