Sunday reading recap (21-Jul-2019)
shout out to past me for being smart enough to plan a 4-day weekend. excellent job. I’ve been reading and I re-watched The Losers. 
Go, Petunias!
Tumblr media
(There was a kink short fiction giveaway a week or so ago, and while I was picking up the RJ Moray novella I also got these 3 others that looked interesting. The RJ Moray and the Carly Marie were my favs.) 
Pretty Boy (Misha Horne) - novella
Cuffed (Andi James & Lila Wilde) - short story
Skin Deep (Carly Marie) - novella
Million Dollar Daddy (A Santa Rita Doms novella) - RJ Moray
Kneading You (C.S. Poe) novella, one of the “Lancaster, New Hampshire” stories - loved this cute story about the town handyman & the librarian saving the town’s library. Also, putting marshmallow vodka into hot chocolate is a frickin’ GENIUS idea and it made me make some adult hot chocolate. But I had dark rum in mine.
Fly Me to the Moon: Volume One (Fly Me To the Moon #1-3, Emma Barry & Genevieve Turner) - I read another of this series, set during the [fictionalized] US space race, several months ago and liked it well enough that when this collection went on sale I scooped it up. I quite enjoyed the it although the final novella had the ‘hero knows she’s the one for him & won’t take no for an answer’ trope which I don’t love but it didn’t sink the overall enjoyment of the other stories.
Star Dust - divorced (scandalous!) single mom moves next door to handsome single astronaut.
Earth Bound - the engineer in charge of everything & the brilliant computer programmer - both devoted to their work + the mission, also can’t steer clear of one another
A Midnight Clear - a sorta prequel story to a supporting character couple we meet in the 1st book - ultimately it did OK but like I said, not fond of the trope. 
turn back into stars (crinklefries) - 56K, Stucky, ice skating AU - rivals-to-partners/fake-boyfriends-to-friends-to-lovers - fuffy, the right kind of cheesy, delightful
Three-Man Advantage (Tripping #2, Ariel Bishop) - EXCITINGLY I won a giveaway this author was running and had to pick a player shirsey and so I had to reread this to decide which player I wanted. (It was Sasha). This is my fav entry although I love the entire series.
Holding (Tripping #3, Ariel Bishop) - yep, I’m doing a series reread. I love this bff/roomates-to-lovers because it uses the ‘you broke your wrist & can’t jack off, want me to help with that?’ trope 😍😍😍
Plus I read over 194K in shorter fanfic! (I love that now I can easily track EVERY SINGLE THING I read on AO3, oh my god, my data nerd heart is so full of joy!) The two I want to shout out are
Come On-A My House (odetteandodile) - which is an entry in a lovely shrunkyclunks series - in this one, Bucky & Steve move in together. Bonus points for the title referencing such a great song.
My Boyfriend Calls Me Daddy, Too (cydonic) - a hot, sexy coda to a great fic where houseflipper Bucky falls in love with single-dad-next-door Steve
