What I'm Reading  

What did you recently finish reading?

Lower Ed: The Troubling Rise of For-Profit Colleges in the New Economy by Tressie McMillan Cottom
Meh. A bit disappointing, but honestly just not my area.

Network Effect (The Murderbot Diaries #5) by Martha Wells
As expected, this was a delight! Highly recommend this sci-fi series.

Kinky Boys Series 1 & 2 by K.M. Nuehold & Nora Phoenix
Quickish, fairly basic and enjoyable reads. Nothing all that special, and a very light touch when it comes to the kink, but good for those nights when I wanted something a bit mindless.

Notable Fanfic Reads:
-I'll wrap up my bones, And leave them by [archiveofourown.org profile] LunaCanisLupus_22 (Teen Wolf, Sterek)
-The Rematch by [archiveofourown.org profile] ravenna_c_tan (Harry Potter, Snaco)
-Desire Unveiled by [archiveofourown.org profile] Frayach (Harry Potter, Drarry)

What are you currently reading?

Cry, the Beloved Country by Alan Paton
My current audiobook read for my daily walks and when I'm cooking/cleaning/doing various chores. So far, so good.

In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto by Michael Pollan
Current non-fiction read. Interesting enough so far, but not much that I haven't read from my other recent books on this topic.

The Heretic Doms Club Series by Marie Sexton
I've read the first 2, and have the 3rd on my Kindle. 4th is supposed to be coming out within the next month Sort of a darker/grittier BDSM series from an author I generally enjoy, and I quite liked books 1 & 2, so I'm hoping the rest are good as well! Though I've a feeling book 3 might not be my fav.

What do you think you’ll read next?

Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal by Mary Roach
Next non-fiction read! I really liked the first two books I read from this author, so finger's crossed this one is interesting as well!

Breathing Lessons by Anne Tyler
My next Pulitzer Prize winner that just came in through the library.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by JKR
I'm doing a reread of the series in the second half of this year, and I think I'm going to try and do book one in the next week!

Fanfic:
-What We Pretend We Can't See by [archiveofourown.org profile] gyzym (Harry Potter, Drarry)
-Golden Boy by [archiveofourown.org profile] trilliath (Teen Wolf, Sterek)
-[community profile] daily_deviant Banging Birthday fics!

I've been thinking about re-reading the HP books too. (Maybe I already told you this, I'm having a deja vu moment.) Especially the last two, which, except for a few crucial scenes, I know I haven't fully re-read since the day they came out.

I've done one proper re-read since getting involved in fandom ~6 years ago, and it's a very different experience rereading them after being so immersed in fanfic and fanon. I'm really looking forward to reading them again!

I've been loving your Sterek recs on tumblr!! I've found myself diving back into some of my favorites because of you <3 Also, I really want to read the murderbot series. Everyone has said they really enjoyed them so excited to see for myself!
