2014 Friday Recs - Week Two

Happy Friday! Some reading recommendations for your enjoyment. No particular order and more to come.

I'm starting to see some of my favorite authors appear more and more. Luv that some have been writing for almost a decade 💘

Keep the Customer Satisfied by NyxEtoile, OlivesAwl

And so begins the next chapter in Nat and Clint's adventures in being off the grid. They explore their relationship further, learn how to actually talk, and help out a guy in over his head.

Little Red Dress by bristow

Every time they went on a mission that required some form of fancy dress-up, Natasha Romanoff always wore her little red dress. The funny thing was, she never really knew why. But she had a pretty good idea.

She Was Such A Perfect Stranger ART - Clint by LePeru (Nizah)

FANART: A call-girl AU. Natasha is a very expensive but talented Russian call girl, able to do what you want if you pay for it.

Caveman by Jaune_Chat

When Natasha is captured and unexpectedly goes into heat, Clint gives into his alpha instincts to protect her.

The Son and The Security by corinnemaree

Clint Barton, the President's son, has always had fun with his security detail, but when his father finds out about his exploits, his new security detail, Natasha Romanoff, isn't taking any of his shit. The two don't get along, with Clint messing around and never being a reasonable person. But when things become heated between the two, they might just get along.

Avengers Art Commissions by celtic7irish

Avengers Art #7: Clint x Natasha by colonelrogers

Partners by seekingsquake

"It's just until you're okay." "I'm okay." "I know."

Drakov's Daughter by ohrabbitheart

Ivan Petrovich is not a good man. The Winter Soldier has been a pawn much longer than Pierce could ever imagine. And that love affair between James and Natasha? It's not all you think it is.

The Only Exception by bookmaniac

Natasha Romanoff had never been one to believe in love, but with Clint, she just might be on her way to believing. One shot based off the song "Only Exception" by Paramore. Set shortly after Avengers.

If you are one of the authors or know them on tumblr and they are not properly tagged, please let me know in comments and I'll add them. Please feel free to click the Iriel3000fridayrecs link below to browse more categories.

Newcastle library 2019, an enchanted place

★ Have you read any of the #ZodiacAcademy books? I started the series last year and just finished the fourth book, Shadow Princess the other day! I’ve been listening to the audiobooks, and *trying* to take it slow with them because they’re not all on audio yet. But after that ending, it’s been hard not to dive right into the fifth book (which I conveniently already have on audio 🤣). Give me all the spicy paranormal romances, please. Love this series though, it’s totally addicting. We will see how long I can hold out for this time, before starting the next book. And it feels like the apt time to share my Survive Mercury Retrograde candle from @birrhdateco! This is a limited edition candle that you can get now until the shadow period ends on 2/24. So, if you’ve been considering it, now is the time! You can use my code LIBRARY15 for a discount, too. ★ HASHTAGS //     #bookstagram #bookphotography #instareads #bookobsessed #booksbooksbooks #beautifulbooks #prettybooks #goodreads #bookhoarder #bookstack #bookhoarder #bibliophile #fantasybooks #booksofig #bookmaniac #booknookstagram #totalbooknerd #bookaesthetic #becauseofreading #darkromance #bullyromance #romantasy #birthdatecandles #zodiacsigns #mercuryretrograde #windowview https://www.instagram.com/p/CaQgseOvtWW/?utm_medium=tumblr

BOOK QUOTES

Hello people,

So here I'm starting a post with a book quote from the book I'm currently reading. You too can add yours further. Can't wait to read all the lovely quotes coming in my way. Also, don't forget to mention the name of the book and author!

Book : The Ministry of Utmost Happiness by Arundhati Roy

[applesickness]

Ho letto “Testimone inconsapevole” di Carofiglio da un po’, e ancora non so decidere se mi sia piaciuto o no. Partiamo da un presupposto: mi scuso con la categoria, ma io, purtroppo, con gli avvocati non ho per niente un buon rapporto. Sarà che tutti quelli con cui ho avuto a che fare si sono rivelati dei pomposi idioti, o sarà che ho solo dei preconcetti inutili, fattosta che non li sopporto. Quindi, quando mi trovo a leggerne, non sono mai molto felice. Diciamo che mi sono lasciata convincere dall’idea che comunque c’era un caso da risolvere e quindi fosse una specie di giallo, ma non so ancora. Ho concluso la lettura piena di incertezze. Il protagonista non mi era particolarmente simpatico e non sono ancora certa di volermi ancora interessare alla sua vita, soprattutto sentimentale. Mi è sembrata, per la verità, una lettura un po’ blanda e asettica, ecco. Non ho avuto quel grado di coinvolgimento che di solito ho coi gialli, se di giallo si può parlare. Però la scrittura è davvero pulita e ben curata, e la struttura impeccabile, e questo l’ho apprezzato. Perciò, come faccio con tutti gli autori che scrivono saghe, prima di decidere se mi piace o no, magari ne leggerò un altro, e poi vedremo. . . . #book #books #bookish #bookaholic #booklover #bookmaniac #bookworm #booknerd #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookshelf #reader #bibliophile #letture #leggere #libri #gialli #gianricocarofiglio #testimoneinconsapevole #sellerioeditore #tunabooks #tunalovesbooks (presso Rome, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CESEvaMH905/?igshid=eori3lt2r205

Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston

What happens when America’s First Son falls in love with the Prince of Wales?

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Well, I absolutely adored this book. I loved it from start to finish and once I finished it, I read it again. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a good romance that grows from pure hatred in the beginning.

Alex Claremont-Diaz, the Mexican-American first son of the United States, tolerates Henry, the Prince of Wales, to about the same level that Henry tolerates him, but this hatred soon develops into something else as the story begins to unravel. This feud leads to an altercation that makes U.S./British relations worse. In the wisdom of the Heads of family and State a plan is devised to stage a truce to this feud. It begins as a fake, obligated friendship that soon grows into a deeper and more dangerous relationship that neither Alex or Henry were prepared for…

What I loved about this book…

Henry’s sister, Bea, she has her own struggles but sees Henry clearly and love him for who he is, no questions asked. She respects her little brother and supports him during a time where he has some difficult decisions to make.

The trio, Alex, June and Nora, this little trio are just amazing. I love seeing Alex and June’s relationship as brother and sister but also I like how Nora bounces off them both but is never scared to speak her mind. June is a one of many strong and powerful female characters in this book and I just love that!

How McQuiston portrays, the struggles and heavy decisions that these people in the limelight face. You fall in love with the characters and their stories, you laugh with them and cry along with them. It’s a truly amazing book.

“That’s the choice. I love him, with all that, because of all that. On purpose. I love him on purpose”

Brand New Start by Mainak Dhar This book is all about personal branding which the author delivers it as he intended. Targeted at early career employees, talks about the necessity of Personal Branding which most of us consider taboo. Ever wondered why you lazy co worker gets to have lunch seat near the boss and not you? I have seen lot of my colleagues and friends consoling themselves with answer "Anyways I work hard and I'm the pillar. God and my conscience knows how hard I work. I don't have to showcase myself like that *** does in..Blah Blah" I have been there too. After reading this book, I realise it's the personal branding that was needed and not that God & Hardwork self consolation. I wouldn't be surprised if this book gets included in final year college curriculum. Also,Do not miss the rap intro mentioned in the book!!!

Και τι ωραίο που είναι να μπορείς να πεις σε κάποιον:《Σε χρειάζομαι》.Νομιζουμε ότι ενήλικος σημαίνει είσαι ανεξάρτητος και να μη χρειάζεσαι κανένα και γι'αυτό πεθαίνουμε όλοι από μοναξιά. Τι καταπληκτικό πράγμα να σε χρειάζεται κάποιος! Και τι σπουδαίο πράγμα να χρειάζεσαι τους άλλους και να λες σε κάποιον,《Σε χρειάζομαι》!

★ What was the last fantasy book you read? What did you think? No big deal, just featuring the stunning @illumicrate edition of This Woven Kingdom by @tahereh, from the January box! This is one of the prettiest books I’ve seen. It has an exclusive naked hardcover, digitally printed edges, and is signed. I know we always rave about covers and edges, but I especially love the spine of this one (swipe to see!). The simplicity of it with the border resembling stitching is a beautiful offset to the rest of the book. Have you read this one yet? I’m excited to read something different from Tahereh! ★ HASHTAGS //     #bookstagram #bookstac #booklover #booksofig #booksofinstagram #bookpics #booknerd #goodreads #bookstagrammer #booksofinsta #bookish #booksbooksbooks #bookcommunity #igreads #bookmaniac #booknookstagram #totalbooknerd #bookaesthetic #becauseofreading #stencilededges #illumicrate #illumicratejan2022 #thiswovekingdom #taherehmafi https://www.instagram.com/p/CaPpofNlvYL/?utm_medium=tumblr

FIVE AUTHORS FOR BEGINNERS

The key to reading is not only what you're reading, but also who has written it. To know if you're comfortable with a particular writing style and relating to what you're reading. So if you're a beginner or simply want to start, then this post is for you. (In no particular order)

1. John Green

Don't complain about his book if you haven't read them. Yes, you heard me all right. He writes really well and the language is pretty easy to grasp. His stories involves young adult romance, drama, fiction and hope (like a necessity to us). There's no way you could put down his book before reaching its end!

2. Khaled Hosseini

Now you may find his novel lengthy if you're going to judge his books with their cover. But the stories he brings to you will not let you put down his book before you finish it. No, I'm not exaggerating, his books are addictive. He presents his character so finely yet distinct, he truly brings world at your expense!

3. Liane Moriarty

If you're someone who loves to gossip then she's your man, sorry woman :P. Her books revolves around social drama and has helped me with my social awkwardness. She builds a story around each character of hers, it gets only interesting! Also provided she does a fine job with suspenseful stories.

4. Rainbow Rowell

If you're into romance then you should definitely give her a chance. Her character are so innocent that you'll yearn for them in real life! She has such a different style of writing and her books will titillates you, making you blush, smile, gush and cry, all at the same time.

5. Mitch Albom

I heard you, you aren't into heavy novels. You should (even if you're not into reading yet) read him once. He has all the answers to your existential crisis. His books majorly deals with philosophical fiction and gives you life lessons worth remembering! His books are short and could easily be adjusted in your busy schedule.

Ho deciso di leggere Accabadora perché Michela Murgia si è presa prepotentemente un posto nel mio cuore ed era davvero giunta l’ora di farlo. Con il mio proverbiale ritardo, ovviamente, perché mai sia che io le cose le faccio quando è il momento. [prima o poi me lo tatuo: meglio tardi che mai!] Sicuramente molti sapranno già di che cosa si tratta e, se non è così, vi invito a immergervi nella lettura anche solo per scoprire chi è Accabadora; solo questo potrebbe valere la storia. Ma questo romanzo è molto di più. Finito di leggerlo mi è venuto in mente solo una parola: magnifico!
Intanto per lo stile: ci sono frasi talmente belle che avrei voluto sottolineare tutto. Si percepisce una cura nella scelta delle parole che trasmette tanta delicatezza, la lettura di questo libro è una vera carezza per l’anima. Le protagoniste sono due donne con un rapporto davvero speciale. Entrambe sono personaggi molto affascinanti, emblematici e ricchi di sfaccettature. Si fanno amare davvero perché sono proprio vive! C’è anche una forte connotazione antropologica in questa storia, che presenta la realtà di un piccolo paese dell’entroterra sardo, con tutto ciò che comporta: credenze, tradizioni, superstizioni. Ed è una realtà interessantissima da esplorare per chi, come me, ne è curioso, ma anche se non lo siete: ogni fatto, per quanto ordinario, è comunque degno di nota perché partecipa a creare quest’atmosfera un po’ mistica, e a rendere più chiaro il quadro globale. Leggere questa storia è un po’ come viverla. È una storia che merita davvero tutta l’attenzione di cui è stata oggetto: a me ha fatto venire tanta voglia di andare dall’autrice, abbracciarla e ringraziarla per aver portato nella mia vita una vagonata di bellezza e grazia in un momento in cui ne avevo davvero tanto bisogno. . . . #book #books #bookish #bookaholic #booklover #bookmaniac #bookworm #booknerd #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookshelf #reader #bibliophile #letture #leggere #libri #michelamurgia #accabadora #einaudieditore #tunabooks #tunalovesbooks (presso Rome, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAnzN0IHSWB/?igshid=13xscdyhyllku
