#ReadingList

January 2025 FanFic✨

Welcome Everyone! It's been a long time since I've posted anything on Tumblr and for this year, I wanted to start posting more fanfic recommendations to share my love for the authors, instead of being in the shadows and for more people to enjoy them. I will try to post every month the fanfics that I've read (which hopefully I stick by 🤞🏼) but for January, I have mostly Jungkook fanfics so hopefully you enjoy the list and have found something you also love❤️

The majority of fics are 18+ so MINORS DO NOT INTERACT.

JUNGKOOK

The Corporate Equation by @someonegoood 🦷🔥❣️✍🏼

-this is in a corporate setting with jungkook as the CEO and y/n as the head of HR. Grumpy x sunshine trope, but really cute because we get to see jungkook slowly but surely softening up to y/n no matter how hard they try to deny it🤭

Neighbor Blunder by @awrkive 🦷🔥🌶️❣️✍🏼

-now listen to me, this is really good😭 I really love the dynamic between oc and Jungkook especially now with the new update👀 He's a gentleman, he doesn't beat around the bushes and sets his intentions straight to oc. I'm really excited about what happens next and will be lurking on AO3 for new updates because I cannot wait

ctrl+alt+delete by @muniimyg 🦷🔥🌶️👅

-obviously, I need to add in a social media au because they are really quick to read and this one is no exception. OC is an OF content creator and jungkook is a youtuber. Both of them are really funny and the interactions with their fans are really cute as well!

Playing the Part by @goldenchimmy 🌶️

-this was really good! it was such a nice build-up to the smut scene which is just perfection. Jungkook's such a gentleman and I need more of him please😭

True Love by @lovieku 🦷🔥🌶️

-this was really cute because OC's a simp for Jungkook and I would be too. It was also so heartwarming that they were able to find comfort within each other when OC would get panic attacks and show each other acts of love

The Love Prognosis by @awrkive 🦷🔥🌶️❣️

-A fan favourite of course 🫶🏻 I related to this a lot (the unrequited love part😶) and just being there for the person you love even if they're not with you, but will ultimately hurt Jungkook in the process. highly recommend it if you haven't read this and the drabbles because they are also extremely fun to read!

Teach Me How To Love by @kookooluvr 🦷🔥🌶️✍🏼❣️

-Another fan favourite because it's just THAT good. everything's going good at the current update of them going to Jeju but I'm ready for the angst that's about to commence😭 Ultimately, I just want Jungkook to finally have his girl fr

The Farmhouse by @solecize 🦷🔥

-the plot was something different from the fics that I usually gravitate to in January. this is a friends to lovers, set in a small town where OC is restoring her grandpa's farm and she reunites with her childhood friend. I love every little aspect of this fic because it deals with grief, growing up, and love. I love the subtleness of Jungkook's love for OC in the beginning where he helps her out in the farm, but it slowly grows toward the end, this is just such a wholesome read!

YOONGI

Love & Lullabies by @ktownshizzle 🦷🔥🌶️

-DILF yoongi because it needs its own warninggg. this was also a really cute and heartwarming read. in every part I read, their love for each other just grows and grows. give this fic some love because you won't regret it!

NAMJOON

Empty Box by @moni-logues 🔥🌶️

-I had hope for the ending but alas this fic does not have a happy ending 🥹 this fic does contain infidelity which I would typically stay away from but I gave it a chance and wow. the writing is really beautiful and rich, you can feel the pain both Namjoon and OC go through throughout their journey which leaves you feeling like you've also gone through the waves of their relationship. The plot feels realistic which makes it 10 times more painful

Unraveling the Enigma of Stupidity: A Review of "The Psychology of Stupidity" by Jean-François Marmion

I remember the moment I added “The Psychology of Stupidity” to my cart. At that time, I was surrounded by people I deemed “foolish,” caught in situations that felt equally absurd, all perceived through the lens of what I considered collective ignorance. With questions swirling in my mind—“Why do people act foolishly? What is stupidity, really?”—I decided to purchase this book, hoping to find some…

That Night of Graduation by @smartkookiee 🌹🌸 🌺

After a stupid game of Truth or Drink you are convinced into telling everyone about the time you and Jungkook hooked up together the night of college graduation. A missed connection that you and Jungkook hadn’t even talked about. Bringing up some unexpected feeling that you hadn’t realized had been lingering between the two of you

Truth or Dare: Kiss a Friend by @dailynnt 🌹

During the game Truth or Dare, Jungkook kisses you so hard that you can’t think of anyone else but him. But it doesn’t seem to mean anything to him. To forget about him, you start talking to someone else, but Jungkook won’t let anyone take his place

The Monogamy Monologues by @kpopfanfictrash 🌹🥀 🌺

The year? Some point after college. The occasion? Namjoon is getting married and the Rich Man’s Crochet Club has convened once again. Somewhere between the drinks and the laughter, everyone has the same realization: Jungkook has never been in a serious relationship. In the name of all that is holy (Overwatch and booze), the club’s mission is revived. Now though, their goal is much more perilous. Now, they aim to find Jeon Jungkook a girlfriend. (Part of The Rich Man’s Crochet Club series)

-> The Virgin Volume 🌹🥀

It takes place before RMCC and is the story of how Jungkook lost his virginity.

nothing like us by @focusonkayjay 🌸 🥀

To help you escape the relentless barrage of blind date requests and the unsettling advances of a creep in the office, your arch-nemesis, Jungkook, boldly declares during a company holiday retreat that you’re in a relationship with him—an audacious statement that couldn’t be further from the truth. Stunned and confused, you’re certain that your rivalry with him is far from anything resembling love. Yet, as the retreat progresses, you start to question whether the "fake" in this "fake relationship" is truly present in the room with you.

shot glass full of tears by @focusonkayjay 🌸🌹🥀

When your beloved cat suffers a small injury, you're left with no choice but to call your ex-boyfriend, who just so happens to be a veterinarian. But when you see Jungkook for the first time in five months, the weight of the past comes crashing down and suddenly, you’re left wondering if walking away from him was the biggest mistake of your life. Meanwhile, Jungkook, desperate for a second chance, sees this as the moment he's been waiting for and with a heart full of lingering feelings, he’s determined to set things right and show you the love you truly deserve—if only you’ll let him.

pour some sugar on me by @yoonia 🌹

Being stuck in the kitchen of your aunt’s bakery late at night is the last thing you had in mind when it came to preparing for Valentine’s day. Although, being stuck with your archenemy, and the most overbearing person you have ever known, teaching you how to bake your aunt’s secret recipe is the exact opposite of what you’d ever have in mind. As the kitchen grows hot, however, you cannot tell whether it’s from the ovens or if it’s something else burning between the two of you. As the night progresses, you cannot help but wonder which one would melt first once you are done. The frostings? Or you?

Hold on to me by @kooklovee 🌸🌹🥀

Your husband forgets your second anniversary. What starts as disappointment and heartbreak soon spirals into doubt—about your love, your marriage, and whether he even sees you anymore. But when Jungkook realizes his mistake, he’s willing to do anything to prove that his love has never wavered. Can he make it up to you, or is it already too late?

Lunch Break by @borathae 🌸🌹

“Min Yoongi is many a thing in your life. Coworker, superior, best friend and beloved long-term boyfriend. Yes, that’s right. You are dating your boss. It’s a lot easier than it sounds. You get to live together, get to go to work together and get to spend lunch break together. Problem is, Yoongi decided to wear his pretty blue button-up today and this shirt has a rather lethal effect on you. Thankfully, he has his own private office.“

before we shatter by @caramelkoo 🌸🌹🥀

dating an idol is fun, they said. having a family with one is fun, they said. Until you're falling face forward because of your reality. A reality where Jungkook dreams of a future and a reality where your own future is collapsed.

webbed heartstrings by @focusonkayjay 🌸🌹🥀

For as long as you can remember, Jungkook has been the biggest flirt when it comes to you. Despite being the campus heartthrob with a trail of admirers and girls dying for his attention—his focus has always, inexplicably, been on you. You wouldn’t exactly call yourselves friends, not with the way he shamelessly flirts and constantly pushes your buttons, but there’s no denying the way he gets under your skin, making your heart race in ways you wish it wouldn’t. When you finally give in, after enduring his endless date requests and ridiculous antics, you expect something special, maybe even something perfect. What you don’t expect is to be left disappointed and hurt in a way that blindsides you. Little do you know, Jungkook’s time is split between charming you and saving the city. And while you’re questioning everything, Jungkook is desperate to prove that his feelings for you have always been real, even if his reality is anything but ordinary.

Chess of Ice by @jimlingss 🌸 🥀 🌺

Jeon Jungkook is a rising star, aka. hockey captain of a team heading for the Olympics. The last thing he expects is to begin a whole 'nother sport, holding a broomstick in his hands, sweeping the ice and throwing dumb stones towards a target. As if that wasn't bad enough, his love life is about to turn into a game of chess as well... and you're his opponent.

Perfect Plan by @joons-cinnamon-bun 🌸🌹🥀

Life has a funny way of throwing you off course. After enduring the heartbreak of infidelity, you find yourself diving headfirst into meticulous planning, determined to control every detail of your life. But on your 29th birthday, you realize things haven’t unfolded quite as you imagined. So, in a bold attempt to take back control, you craft a new plan: have a baby. And who better to ask for help than the one constant in your life —your close friend Namjoon? Drama ensues.

Something about you by @ahundredtimesover 🌸🌹🌺

You and Jungkook have been friends for a decade. And while he’s the charming and dependable, often reserved boy-next-door, he’s also just been a friend - a constant in your life, a part of a whole, and someone who’s seen all the flawed and probably unattractive sides of you

The price of desire by @dreamersparacosm 🌸🌹🥀

What starts as business turns into something far more dangerous; it’s a game of seduction and sabotage, of whispered secrets and stolen moments. He wants more than carefully curated press releases and polite smiles. He wants you. And he doesn’t care what it costs

Parasocial by @youthguk 🌹🥀

Everyone in your circle knew that where there was you, Jungkook wasn't far behind. It was just your natural state of being - together. Your relationship had this beautiful, messy way of coloring outside the lines of typical friendship. But somewhere between algebra homework and growing pains, his protective streak went from "adorably concerned" to "intensely involved in literally everything."

Every Breathe You Take by @focusonkayjay 🌸🌹🥀 🌺

Nine years ago, an argument tore apart the unshakable bond you shared with your childhood best friend of 15 years, Jeon Jungkook, leaving behind scars too deep to ignore. Now, nine years later, unforeseen circumstances have brought you back to your hometown, Busan from Seoul, and fate forces you to reunite with him.

Sharing the same tight-knit friend group means constant, unavoidable encounters with Jungkook... each one stirring up unresolved tension, bittersweet memories and... regret. Torn between the idea of mending what was broken or keeping your distance, you also carry a dark secret: the real reason you’ve returned to Busan, a truth you’re determined to keep hidden at all costs.

stuck with you by @focusonkayjay 🌸🌹🥀 🌺

Jungkook’s a hopeless romantic—emphasis on hopeless more than romantic. From the moment he first laid eyes on you, he swore he heard bells chiming, like the angels from above were giving him a cosmic nudge. But he’s always been the awkward, nerdy guy—the one who blends into the background—while you? You felt like a dream way out of his league. Fate, however, had other plans and now, you’re his roommate and living with you—in all your effortless glory—is equal parts chaos and heaven. The only challenge? Keeping his ever-growing feelings in check. That is—until a cocky fuckboy with not-so-pure intentions sets his sights on you, and suddenly, just loving you from the sidelines might not be enough.

All This Time? by @jimxnslight 🌸 🥀

Another day, another boyfriend caught cheating. You’re hardly surprised, but before you can even process another one of many betrayals, your best friend Jungkook offers a solution: a blind date. The twist? The guy Jungkook has in mind might not be a stranger at all.

Jungkook is your roommate. Did everyone tell you it’s a bad idea? Yeah. Did you still think you could handle it? Yep. So here you are, trying to keep your promise that 'you’ll never fuck another fuckboy again.' Good luck with that.

he looks like an angel but is a devil- well that's what your kingdom thinks. he is also the blessed leader of tribe "lav"; even a leaf cannot move without his permission but here he was in-front of you on his knees. while the whole tribe bows to him- he only bows to you. now, there are two paths presented to you- marry him & return his love or refuse & watch him conquer your father's kingdom. power is an evil yet a tempting apple-and now its in your hands- are you going to take a bite; taste the sweet poison or will you use it to tempt others? its an evil world with evil options.. do you think you can handle him?

2024 - Things Add Up

A little bit of everything adds up to a lot.

After reading very little during the pandemic, 2023 was the year I really got back into books. So when 2024 kicked off, I was curious if I'd be able to keep up the pace.

This was especially so as my personal and professional life didn't play out how I had hoped in 2024. So it's been satisfying to look back on my #yearofreading and see I still read regularly throughout the year. At times the reading material was lighter than others. There's no doubt that listening to a half dozen audiobooks has boosted my list. But 2024 was also the year I took on some much longer and more substantial books, such as 'Dune' and the 'Three Body Problem' trilogy. So overall, it was pleasing to finish with twenty books, one more than last year.

My full 2024 list is below, not on to the books of 2025.

Fiction and Novels

The Three Body Problem - Cixin Liu

The Dark Forest - Cixin Liu

Death's End - Cixin Liu

A curse of blood and wolves - Melissa McTernan (audiobook)

Just Stab Me Now - Jill Bearup

Cobalt Blue - Matthew Reilly (audiobook)

Dune - Frank Herbert

Ready Player One - Ernest Cline (audiobook)

The Kaiju Preservation Society - John Scalzi

The Hobbit - J R R Tolkien (audiobook)

Trouble with the fake boyfriend - Holly Renee

Uglies - Scot Westerfeld

Mortal Engines: Infernal Devices - Philip Reeve (audiobook)

Graphic Novels & Comics

Robotech: Invid War - Bill Spangler, Fred Perry & Tim Eldred

The Martian Chronicles - Ray Bradbury & Denis Calero

Robotech: Invid War - Aftermath - Bruce Lewis & David Lanphear

Non-Fiction

How to Decide - Annie Duke (audiobook)

What if? - Randall Monroe

J.R.R. Tolkien - Humphrey Carpenter

Guilty Pigs: The weird and wonderful history of animal law - Katy Barnett & Jeremy Gans
