Fictionators

It’s still Friday somewhere, I think. We heard ya! Just another couple of weeks (at the most) until we are back with regular Friday recs. We can’t wait to start recommending fic with full reviews again. Let us know in the comments what you’ve been reading so we can check out all. the. stories.

Kassiah: Last week, I had my wisdom teeth removed. I thought I would only be out a day or so but I ended up sleeping for days. It was nice LOL Because of all the sporting stuffs I’ve been to lately, I’ve had time to read a few things lately. Books: I read Wanted by Amanda Lance, which is about a girl who falls in love with one of the guys who kidnaps her, so not really my thing. I think a lot of our readers will like it, though. I also read Good Guys Love Dogs, which I really liked in spite of its ridiculous title, and Skin in the Game, which I sort of liked LOL

Fic life, I read How to Date a Movie Star by Redtini, which was cute, and Fatherhood, Formula and Other F Words by anhanninen, which I really loved. Did ya’ll see that belladonnacullen has a new story? It’s called Shame and seems like it’s going to be awesome! I also had time to read JiffyKate’s one-shot Little Town, Texas, and liked it so much.

I’m still dropping everything when MrsSpaceCowboy updates Down Home, as well as Deviant by planetblue. I’m looking forward to summer so I can just read, read, read.

LJSummers: Well, I’ve got a host of fic to catch up on, for sure, in the Twilight and Vikings Fandoms. This past week, though, my fanficking appetite has been for A Song of Ice and Fire fics, and my favorite pairing is Sansa/Sandor (San/San). I just love these two. What Little Birds Do by Perelynn gives us a Sansa who is still rather timid as we begin, but who grows into herself and her role of Queen of the North, with Sandor by her side. Get to it, Dog! by soulwriterchick is a short multichapter fic in which Sandor is supposed to deflower Sansa but doesn’t. But he has to marry her anyway. It’s a nice story, with some politics, too. Lovers in a Dangerous Time by Northen is complete and it has an odd premise: Joffrey proposes (to further humiliate everyone) for his Hound to teach his fiancé about how to please a man in bed. Odd, yes. But also quite a sweet story. A Song of Steel by Egleriel. This has not yet completed, and the last update was almost a year ago, but it’s been a good story to this point. Involving and tricky.

MsKathy: I’m still marinating on the latest update from yesterday of OPERATION: Break the Dawn.

I’m also diving in to read stories from authors in the Author’s Studio at TFMU, so I’ll be stepping up my fic reading.

In the book world, I’ve been reading Touch & Geaux as well as some non-fiction.

Katinki: @MsKathy I’m going to be doing the same. I’ve tried to pick out at least one fic from everyone participating in the Author’s Studio. So I have a lot of good fic reading coming up!

I did manage to squeeze in a few re-reads of some of some of my favorite one shots this week. All of them are fantastic, quick reads:

• A Glimmer in the Vein by TallulahBelle
• Be Careful What You Wish For, Lest You Get It by JMaire
• We Were Nomads, Bathed in Concrete by Oxymoronic8
• L’Heure Bleue by Sobiquett
• Settling by theladyingrey42

On the book front, I’ve been re-reading my favorite series by Daniel Silva (Gabriel Allon). I’m on Book 5, Prince of Fire, right now. It’s SO freaking good. There are 12 total right now (book 13 is coming out this July), so I have enough to keep me occupied for a little while at least. If you like action / thrillers, give it a shot. I seriously can’t recommend it highly enough. Great writing and one of the best male leads…. ever.
