   Thanks for taking time to come up with so many different and fun games for your sites’ fifth anniversary. I guess everyone found something they liked. Also thanks to every reviewer, who participated and to every publisher and author, who kindly donated so many awesome prizes.

   I would like to have an option to decide, whether I want individual mails or a daily digest. I would also love Flashback Friday to come back (maybe once or twice a month).
   When I want to browse older reviews without really knowing what I’m looking for, then browsing by reviewer is easy. But if I try to browse by given stars, I get the first page with the most recently rated books. The second page looks a bit broken and I cannot go back any further. Don’t know if that’s just my problem. I use chrome at home (no adblocker) and some kind of firefox alternative for linux at work.

   I’d be interested in:
   *Eli Easton – Howl at the Moon
   *Harper Fox – backlist
   *Davidson King – Hug it out
   *Tyler May – backlist
   *Taylor Donovan – Six Degrees
   *Rhys Ford – backlist
   *Amy Lane – backlist
   *Kiki Burelli – Bear Brothers
   *Nic Starr – Rustic
   *Z. Allora – bundle

   I’d rather not get:
   *L.A. Witt
   *Lynn Lorenz

   I love this blog. I love the reviews, how varied and interesting are the books you bring us. I’ve found many interesting new authors here. I love the pools as well, and the guest bloggers. I would like to see more indie authors, because I’m always in the lookout for new things. Also, characters interviews and sneak peaks on new books… That would be great.
   Thank you so much for the anniversary celebrations!

   Today I received two notices of longtime blogs I’d enjoyed closing, so I’m very happy to see Love Bytes thrive! It would be nice to see some movie reviews…so many of the gay-themed movies I watch end up being poorly written and/or completely depressing, so I’d love to have some good recommendations!

   While I’d be happy to receive almost anything (except for what I’ve already read, which I’ll list at the end), these are my top picks:

   Eli Easton HOWL AT THE MOON series
   Z Allora bundle
   Taylor Donovan SIX DEGREES series
   KC Wells MATERIAL WORLD series
   Helena Stone DUBLIN trilogy
   JJ Harper’s COOPER’S RIDGE series
   ROBBIE RIVERTON by Eli Easton

   Please save these choices for other winners, since I have them:

   FINDING JACKIE by Lou Sylvre
   Champion of the Gods series by Andrew Q. Gordon
   The Isle series by Sue Brown

   Thank you so much!

   I love the variety of posts and reviews on the site. There’s isn’t much I would change, if anything. Maybe flashback reviews since I know there’s a lot of good books I misses before I found the genre.

   Riley Hart backlist
   Rhys Ford backlist
   Hailey Turner backlist
   Andrew Grey backlist
   Felice Stevens Backlist
   RJ Scott backlist

   I can’t think of anything I would like to change. I’ve seen more anthology reviews from you, a few audio reviews and I enjoy the guest author posts. If I was forced to pick something I might ask for new author features just once in a while.

   2 Cody Kennedy ecopy backlist title
   3 Kindle Alexander Arc of the Nice Guys Bundle with bonus material

   I think I have most of if not all of Susan Mac Nicol books. The same goes for Andrew Gordon Champions of the Gods (1-4).

    Thank you for this wonderful anniversary month. I enjoyed all the posts and the fun giveaways! I love this blog and i Always enjoy visiting.

    As for a tip or suggestion: I also love to participate in the book of the week/month poll but i would like it if you have a “last” poll of the year (before voting for the book of the year) with all the books that didn’t make it to Book of the Week/Month because sometimes there are books on the list to vote that just were published that week and i didn’t read them that soon but i read them weeks later and found them amazing and that way i can vote for them at the end of the year so these books still get a chance to become book of the year. (i hope i’m making sense LOL)

    I do like the variety you have on the blog
    I do like the idea of throwback reviews – digging out those old favourites that have been buried by newer releases.
    themed weeks – I would enjoy one every once in a while.
    comps – maybe a weekly round up of still running competitions
    Comps – list of winners – even if not a blog post, somewhere we could go to see if we have won on a Love Bytes comp (appreciate blog tours are a whole different entity!)

    Rhys Ford
    Cate Ashwood
    Harper Fox
    Jordan Castillo Price
    Eli Easton – howl at moon
    Katey Hawthorne

    Not these, as got already

    I love how diversity of the books that are reviewed. I’m always interested in debut books from authors. I would love to be able to look at one tag that included all debut books. Thanks for all the fun and games!
