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 nrseventeen14.1 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. |

A Wolf’s Innocence by MyLadyQueen6.8 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_thewriter7.2 k | 1 ch | Boys Love, Romance, Slice of Life The Story of Ayden Caddell and Rylan Huxley. |

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:

Many stories in one.
