1. Newly completed BL novels on Scribble Hub (January 2022)

Here are the novels that were completed in January 2022!

		What If I Love You? by nrseventeen 14.1 k | 10 ch | Boys Love, Drama, Romance, Slice of Life Sometimes people play the same part for too long. It's like they are living in an old skin. They grew accustom to it. And even if it became unbearably tight you can't shed your skin. You can't change who you are. You can't make people see you in a new light. Especially if it's someone who took care of you from when you were a kid. But what if I'm a grown-up now? What if I look at you not the way I used to? What if I love you?
		A Wolf’s Innocence by MyLadyQueen 6.8 k | 1 ch | Boys Love, Mature, Supernatural Sixteen year old, Josiah Brooks, ran away from home fearing his life. He tried forgetting his past by moving on and building something for him within a fantasy industry but it came with a price. His happiness was put on hold when his pregnancy test came back positive and with a lie from his ex-best friend, he made his way back home just to find his baby daddy is actually his mate but he wasn't ready for no commitment other than the one he had towards his quadruplets.
		How We Became by LOST_thewriter 7.2 k | 1 ch | Boys Love, Romance, Slice of Life The Story of Ayden Caddell and Rylan Huxley.
		Sharon’s Whisper by JohnDoe9838 4.6 k | 1 ch | Adult, Boys Love, Drama, Girls Love, Romance In a miserable small town far away from everything, in a dying pseudo-convent in the middle of the forest, one who thought to serve her Lord ends up falling into temptation after seeing her step-brother naked.

2. The banner chibis!

Did you see the chibis on our heading banner? Do you know where they come from? Such a mystery~ 😏😏

In every BLBL Newsletter, we dedicate a corner to showcase our staff's incredible artistic talent and give a shout-out to a handful of beautiful BL couples from novels featured on our very own Scribblehub! σ(≧ε≦ｏ)

This month's chibis are courtesy of these lovely and hardworking artists: oofcat and Killokii!

Have you read enough BL novels to guess which books these cute and adorable chibis are from? There's no punishment for guessing wrong! But if you guessed correctly before the big reveal you might just receive a cookie! 🍪🍪🍪🍪

Now, drum-roll please! 🥁🥁🥁

		Uncontrollably Fond of You by MyLadyQueen (Vanessa Nicole) 110.7 k | 85 ch | Adult, Boys Love, Comedy, Girls Love, Mature, Romance, School Life, Slice of Life Review by UM3: Uncontrollably Fond Of You! What a way to sneak in a hint on the lead’s personality (●Φ ౪ Φ●) if you are a lover of something sweet, sticky, salty, sweaty, stiffed, and snugged~~~ do poke around… I lingered longer than I had expected (̷ ̷₌̷ ̷ㅇ̷ ̷ᆽ̷ ̷ㅇ̷ ̷₌̷ ̷)♡ *ahem* it may be slightly confusing transitioning from one set of story to the next, but if you pay attention to the change in POV and the names of the characters, you’ll be set! I had to backtrack once or twice to catch the jist of some sentences but all’s good! It didn’t stop me from satisfying my fujoshi heart! Thank you for such electrifying scenes ♡ Summary: Spoiler Many stories in one. #1 - Love Born Within Two Days #2 - It Begins and Ends with Us #3 - Unrequited Desire #4 - My Little Bunny #5 - My Love For You, Never Died #6 - Social Desire #7 - Sweet Like Honey #8 - One Kiss and I'm in Love #9 - Fragments of our Treasured Love #10 - Sis Loves Me Way Too Much #11 - Blind Desire #12 - My Mischievous Mate #13 - Find You [collapse]
		Human, Where Are You Touching Me by iamaducklingwriter 38.9 k | 46 ch | Boys Love, Comedy, Fantasy Romance, Smut Review by UM3: Hmm, I’m actually a little lost for words… in a good way! in a good way! in a good way! Good things much be said thrice! Hehe. There are just too many I want to share but I don’t know where to start…. maybe the typical gong/ shou tropes?! a bowl of vampirism, a plate of modern entertainment, a blend of abo-like marking possession with blood lost in between?! Wait! I’m not done! A twist of some interstellar-tech travelling, and of course some spicy hot poundings to tie everything together… I’m stuffed by the time I’m halfway through the meal (๑✪ᆺ✪๑) and yet I can’t drop the fork ^^/ give it a taste and join me in stuffing ourselves, after all, if you’re here reading this, no one can help you now you’ve both legs in this rabbit hole ¥…¥ *ehhehhhehhe!* Summary: Spoiler A cute 'straight' shou, Lee Yun Gyeong, was betrayed by his own colleague and his ship was sucked into the blackhole. Fortunately, he is survived and saved his soldiers due to his bearing as a pure-blooded vampire. However, due to exhaustion of power, he fell from the sky and was thrown into World no.2 also known as the 'Ancient Earth' where he thought had already ceased to exist. There he met our coffin faced Gong, Movie Emperor Han Jungsik. He loves no one but his cat! What would happened to our Vampire Shou and Catlover Gong? •Happy Ending •1v1 •Fluff •Cats [collapse]
