More reading from the writer's room! 📖

[lordgolden]

Bestie help I’m trying to add to my reading list, what was that book you were reading a little while ago that started with a P and was about like, a living building??

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke!!! It’s an amazing standalone with a lot of mystery. The “House” is actually a living labyrinth 👀 I think about Piranesi all the time

Have you read The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey? It’s set in Alaska in the early 1900s and is a Russian fairytale retelling. The descriptions (especially later on) of Alaska seem like you’d maybe love them? Bear in my there’s some *ahem* hanky panky between two characters, and it’s a bit of a strange story overall but interesting.

oooh, no I haven't!? I've never even heard of it, but (hanky panky aside) that sounds right up my alley!!!

My tbr for October to gear up for Halloween!

There's a LOT of books on here so I might end up starting some this month just so I can get through them all. At least a lot of these books are relatively short so hopefully I can read all of them!

Fingers crossed I can still sleep at night after reading some of these 💀

[thewrongshop]

The last book I…

tagged by @bluejayblueskies! thank you!!

Bought: Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel! (it was incredible highly recommend)

Borrowed: Now I Rise by Kiersten White - it's the sequel to And I Darken, which I can't recommend enough!! I read this series years ago and couldn't remember a thing about it, which is a shame bc it's AMAZING

Was gifted: my wonderful friend gave me a copy of Loveless by Alice Oseman for my birthday recently :)))

Gave/lent to someone: probably The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern! (guys. GUYS. if i have one book that I rec to every single person I talk to it's this one. Please please read it I am begging)

Started: The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater

Finished: And I Darken by Kiersten White

Gave 5 stars: ...also And I Darken. folks it's a Good Book

Gave 2 stars: honestly only rated this one as a joke bc my roommates and I all read it for class but The Monk by Matthew Gregory Lewis. not a fan, even if it did give us a good laugh about Gothic tropes

Didn’t finish: I've tried twice and never managed to finish Muse of Nightmares by Laini Taylor (the sequel to Strange the Dreamer, which I absolutely loved). I'm sure it's good but something about the beginning doesn't really grip me

I'll tag @crit20lesbian, @princess-of-purple-prose, and @asexualzoro!

Looking for books to read is just as, if not more, fun as actually reading books

[mbcorvo-author]

I told my father that my shift yesterday evening felt longer than it was because there was little work to do and that I was thinking that for my next afternoon-to-evening shift I would bring a book with me just in case, and he went upstairs in his room and started picking a couple of books from the piles scattered in the room, giving me recommendations even if he knows that crime fiction/thrillers aren't my thing.

I ended up picking one that is set in medieval times, just becaue it fit the tiny backpack I use to go to work. The other one was a Jo Nesbo book that piqued my interest because the title sounded cool, but the other was pocket size so it won.

I started The World of Ice & Fire today, so fair warning! (Block that book tag if you’d rather not partake 👇🏻)

[artofapeach]

I was looking through zoophobia asks and found out you like Danny phantom. So would I recommend to you the webcomic 5 years later. It a fan made crossover continuation of Danny phantom and Ben 10.

YOOOOOOOOO?

That sounds fricking awesome!! I used to love Ben 10 too! And Danny Phantom crossovers are usually pretty good!

The words spill from his mouth before he even realizes he’s saying them. “You can rub against it,” he blurts out. He sucks in a breath, arms tightening around Eddie as the man stiffens against him. “I mean—you can rub against me, not it,” Steve stutters nervously, averting eye contact. Staring at the dumb fucking movie that’s still playing. Steve Harrington has never let anyone fuck him. That all changes during a movie night with Eddie Munson.

Eddie drags his hand up to Steve’s scalp, dully scratching the way he knows he likes. “Okay, I’ll indulge,” he mutters. “If we could have a wedding, what would you want it to look like?” The smile to his bare shoulder is enough to know that it was a good question.

love is stored in a can of hairspray - T, 3.1k, complete

@steveseddie | mseg_21

In that moment, he wasn’t thinking about the money or how it might look to Steve that he knew what hair products he uses or that he drove to another town to get them. He was only thinking about Steve’s defeated look every time someone stared at his hair or commented on it, how he self-consciously tried to fix it at work every time a customer came in, how when they hung out at his house he would hide his hair under the hood of a sweater. But now, parked in front of Steve’s house an hour before their movie night, Eddie does think about what he did- and he seriously considers leaving the bag on Steve’s doorstep and fleeing. It’s too much. It’s too ‘I have a big crush on you and I want you to be happy so bad that I drove to another town and raided the Hair and Beauty section at a store just so you can stop walking around looking like a kicked puppy’. for the prompt “love is going out of your way to do something you know will make them happy”

@ghosttotheparty

“Steve,” Eddie repeats softly. Steve’s eyes look into his, shining like he’s already there, like he’s already floating. “If you want something, you gotta ask for it.” Steve’s eyes flutter, and he looks like he wants to let out a whine, glancing across Eddie’s face again like he’s forgotten where they are. “Fuck me,” he says weakly, and the words crawl under Eddie’s skin like they belong there. “Please. Will you please fuck me?” // or; Steve and Eddie start hooking up and it makes them both happier than it should.

@beetlesandstarss

“You’re gonna think I’m insane," he says, instantly piquing Eddie's interest.  “Try me.”  Biting his lip, Steve reaches over and takes Eddie’s hand. He slips one of Eddie’s rings off, the plainest one, and holds it between two fingers. For a second, Eddie thinks Steve’s just gonna— put it on. Or hold his hand. Both options are appealing. But then, clearing his throat, his face changes from smug to earnest.  “Eddie,” he says, a little louder than necessary. “Will you marry me?”  Eddie’s jaw drops.

@lady-lostmind

Eddie rolls over with a groan. He feels awful. He can’t breath out of his nose, there’s so much pressure in his head he feels like it might explode and his throat feels like he swallowed a cup of razors. He lets out a truly pathetic whimper, the sound catching in his throat as it turns into a cough. He stretches his arm out, feeling around for Steve and is met with cold, empty sheets. He whines again and finally pries his eyes open. “Stevie?”

Eddie looks Steve up and down thoughtfully. He's flushed, cheeks turned a pretty shade of pinkish red. His eyes are a little glossy, sparklier than usual and a thin sheen of sweat is forming across his hairline. His breathing has changed, just a bit; a little shallower, a little quicker, a little hitched. He's none too subtly shifted, so that the blanket is fully covering his lap. It's a lightbulb moment for Eddie, and he grins wide when he realizes. "Oh my God. This is like a thing for you, isn't it?" _ Or: discovering one of Steve's kinks leads Eddie to some discoveries of his own.

“They still had the tags on. And I couldn’t stop thinking about how fucking sexy you’d look in them, baby.” He punctuates the end of his sentence with a kiss to Steve’s cheek. “Oh,” Steve practically gasps, the sound punched out of him involuntarily. “Oh.” And there’s that confusing arousal again. Or: Steve and Eddie try something new.

Fuck, Robin will actually kill him if Eddie dies out here. “I’m fine.” “This is not fine, Eddie,” Steve insists. “You’ll see my dick,” Eddie hisses. “I’m not gonna look at your stupid dick, man.” “My stupid dick? Why is it stupid?” (Or, Steve and Eddie are coerced into going camping together.)

@withacapitalp | towardthesun

He hacked out a few more harsh sounding noises, before he spat into his open palm, taking a relieved breath as whatever was lodged in his throat came out. Eddie would’ve been relieved too, confused, but okay now that Steve was safe. And then he saw what was in Steve’s hand. A daisy. Steve had just coughed up a fucking daisy. And, judging by the completely blasé expression he had on his face as he looked down at it, this wasn’t the first time. ====== When Steve wakes up choking on flowers, Eddie thinks that it might be the end. It turns out to be just the beginning.

Chrissy had thought she’d known what love was. Had grown up watching her parents exchange pleasantries across the dinner table, in the entryway when her father would leave for work. A chaste kiss on the cheek, a gentle hand at the small of her mother’s back. Quiet respect, dignity, poise. Love was something shown only in small glimpses, tiny moments. Never in public. Between a couple and the good Lord. Until she met the boys.

His eyes glance across to Eddie’s van, parked beside his own car, outside the trailer home in Forest Hills. Then he looks back at the trailer. He can ask. He can just go inside and ask Eddie for the lift— and explain that the reason he can’t take his own perfectly fine car is because he’s so goddamn thick between the ears that he’s locked his keys inside, like some kind of moron. The voice in his head sounds suspiciously like his father.

“Woah, man, take it easy—” “M’fine,” Eddie mutters. He scoffs harshly, wipes his mouth with the back of his hand. He’s shaking. “This is kinda normal for me now.” His head’s still half bowed, hair falling across his face like he doesn’t want to be seen. It doesn’t stop Steve from noticing the evidence of tears on his face; he thinks they’re simply from the exertion of throwing up, but he can’t be sure. “Just—just give yourself a minute,” Steve says. “We’ve got time.”
