Hello our lovely, way too hot people!
We are gathered her today to..... talk about our new feature on Way Too Hot Books.
Every season has it-topic and this year it looks like taboo fantasy of every high school girl is coming true! Well, at least in books.
We decided to join the hype, so welcome to our
Autumn Taboo!
What does that mean?
Considering that all of us girls gathered around Way Too Hot Books are in one way or another involved in school or teaching, for us love affairs between students and teachers is greatest taboo of them all.
What will we do?
Read.
As you can see, we found some books that are talking about this topic. If you know for book that fits to what we're looking for, don't be shy and tell us. If you're author and you have book that talks about student/teacher relationship and you'd like to be part of this, contact us. If you're fellow blogger and you like this idea, join the fun. Just as a sign of your support, link us up in your posts and leave comment here. We would love to hear your thoughts and read your reviews.
How long will this last?
We do not have strict timelines, but we're hoping that we'll manage wrap up everything until the end of November.
Way Too Hot Books is part of Rachael Wade's new book blog tour and you'll get a chance to win e-books of her Preservation series. Leah Reader and Evan Revees will answer some of our questions ( if you want us to ask them something specific, let us now). We'll try to get more goodies for you.:)
Also, If I Stay by Evan Reeves is featured tomorrow here, so stay tuned.
We really hope that this will work out and that you'll join our conversations.
Much love,
Glass & Iva & Purple & Red

Great titles here, I've heard good things about Losing It and Gabriels Inferno! Keen to hear what you guys think of your Autumn Taboo books.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jeann. Be sure to stop by when we post reviews, I'd love to hear other people thoughts.
DeleteI read Gabriel's Inferno and Losing It and enjoyed both of them. Both of them deal with college age students, so I don't the taboo is quite as bad as having an affair with a high school age student. There's no problem with being of legal age, but there is the problem of propriety. On the Island is technically about a student and his teacher even if they are removed from society.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out some of these other reads. I've always adored the cover of Want! It's just gorgeous, but I think it's had mixed reviews. To participate are you asking that a blogger chose one of these reads and then review it on their blog?
I didn't know that On the Island was about that too. Thank you.
DeleteI liked Losing It, it was fun read, but I remember that I had some issues with plot. I'd have to read it again.
I agree, it's a bigger deal if it's high school students, but it's more because of age difference. So far I had impression that those books approach to the subject more seriously. College age students and teachers affairs on the other hand are more along the lines of melodramatic romance novels. Whole point of the book is a love story, there is very little consideration of social aspects.
Yes, you can pick any book with this type of premise, it doesn't have to be one of the books we posted here. Also, we will have something like "what I think about this" posts, so you can do that too if you want. We just ask bloggers to link us is their posts as little sign of support.
Ha, that's a great idea! This taboo topic is definitely the big thing right now. I think S. Walden has a novel with this topic as well. I think it's called Good. I own the title on my Kindle, but since I haven't read it yet, I really don't remember what the synopsis contained, but I think it was something about a student-teacher as well.
ReplyDeleteI hear great things about Unteachable which I, personally, didn't enjoy that much and it was a DNF for me. I loved Gabriel's Inferno which was a little on the dark side, but a more intellectual novel I guess. Also, Losing It is superb! Loved that it made me laugh so much. It's a great novel, in my opinion. I hope you girls have fun :)
Thank you, Siiri. I hope we will be seeing you around more than.:)
DeleteI added Good to my TBR shelf on GR, you are right - it is about student/teacher relationship. If you decide to read it, I'd love to hear your impressions.
I actually started reading Gabriel's Inferno when it first came out, but I DNFed it. I think I wasn't ready for something like that back then. I'll have to give it a try now.
Lot of my Friends read Unteachable and they all have different opinions, so I'm afraid to even start it, but I have to - next week hopefully.
Thnx Sirri:), feel free to join the fun! Btw. I have Good by S.Walden too, but I also didn't know it's about student/teacher relationship. Now I have to read it.
DeleteI finished Unteachable a week ago and liked it, even though I must admit I expected more after all the hype. I liked better Gabriel's Inferno, because of the poetic writing- loved it. I agree- Losing It was a fun read, but out of these 3 teacher-student books, as far of the plot and writing style is concerned, for me, it would be on the last place.
i love the gabriels series, but i will be looking out for losing it xxx
ReplyDeleteYou'll enjoy reading Losing It. Thank you for stopping by, Emily.
DeleteCool haul. Hope you enjoy everything :)

I love this new feature, and yep I noticed this trend. I can handle the college ones the high school..not so much :)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean - it has that ick effect. We will see how authors approached to that topic.
DeleteYeah, the high school ones are too icky for me. I read one book with that as the plot and it was too much. I'm not sure if I'll join in, my TBR pile is pretty crazy, but I'll be watching your posts.
ReplyDeleteNow you got me curious - which book? Can you remember the title?
DeleteWoha I love new feature girl ;) I haven't read any of these though but I'm planing to read Unteachable :) But I cannot believe you haven't made me read something with this twist, but then again you really love me so you go straight to father/daughter thing ;P Kidding by the way we can put Easy and Slammed there, not quite but still :)
ReplyDeleteOh, honey, I have to scare you with heavy stuff before I get you to read something "mellow" like this.:)
DeleteI'm planning to read Unteachable this week, so how about buddy read? We haven't done it since Lumatere Chronicles.:)
I've been thinking if I could include those two, but they are still different. There is forbidden romance base, but it's not such a taboo. I don't know jet, I'll have to think more about it.
You little evil thing! Don't forget that your whip is with me currently. ;) Sure thing babe, I'll squeeze it in :)
DeleteYes they are different but at some points they touch this subject :)
Hahaha, don't worry I have a spare one - mean little thingy!;D
DeleteBut I loved Easy and firs Slammed book so much - I'd have to write about them!:D
Of all the books in the post, I've only read Unteachable :) And I loved it. I wanna read more books with this theme, especially if the student is in high school. For some reason it seems more interesting that way.
ReplyDeleteI really liked The Truth About You and Me by Amanda Grace, but there's nothing erotic in it, so I don't know if it works for this blog.
It doesn't have to be erotic, as the matter of fact, I'll post my review of The Truth About You and Me during the week.
DeleteI know what you mean about being more interesting - I'm guessing it's more taboo because of age difference.
Wow, didn't know they were so many. I used to fancy my philosophy teacher **drifting off on a thought**
ReplyDeleteMy friend used to droll over one of our professors on college and he wasn't hot or young - she told how she was attracted to his "smarts", LOL.
DeleteWhat a great feature! I haven't read any of the books you've got listed, but the covers have me super curious about them. I think I would enjoy college themed ones, but the highschool variety may be pushing a few many taboos for me to enjoy. I look forward to seeing what this feature produces!
ReplyDeleteI think in the and it's all about what is social acceptable.
DeleteMaybe you should read Losing It and Easy.
Hahaha this is actually a pretty awesome feature! :D
ReplyDeleteI've had my eye on Unteachable for a while because *gasp* it's a good NA! (from what I've heard)
I've heard the same thing - let's keep our finger crossed. Let me know if post reviw, I'd love to see what you thought about it.
DeleteThank you, Rashika.
Wow! There's a lot of these! You should consider "The Truth About You and Me" by Amanda Grace, if you're wanting recommendations. (: Some of these look amazing-- The Yearning. And Want. And Unteachable-- they all look so good! Awesome new feature, girly! (:
ReplyDeleteI read that book - review will be up tomorrow.
DeleteThank you, Megan. I hope I will be seeing you around.
That's a fun idea and I'm impressed with how many books you have found. I'll look forward to your reviews. Unteachable is on my to-read list as I have heard fellow bloggers raving about it.
ReplyDeleteTurns out I've just barely scratched the tip of iceberg - I thing I found at least 10 new books since yesterday.
DeleteThanks for including WANT. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat, thank you Stephanie.:)
DeleteI've already read The Low Notes, which I really liked! Thanks for this list. I'll definitely be checking these out.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. I hope we will be seeing you around.
DeleteThanks for including The Yearning on your list. Not sure how many of these go down the high school student rather than college track. Hope everyone enjoys the fantasy!
ReplyDeleteCheers

We will see, the whole point is to see what is the difference between those two groups of novels.
DeleteThank you for stopping by Kate.:)
OH - Ainslie Paton just reminded me on Twitter - Tampa by Alissa Nutting. Although that's closer to Erotica, not erotic fiction. Mighty uncomfortable read.
ReplyDeleteWe have no problem with that, but this book looks really disturbing. Now I have to read it. It looks like something Selena Kitt would write.
