Reading & Rec List of the month

Since I didn't read anything Irish-themed this month, I thought I could at least make this end-of-March rec list a little green!

Supernatural Fanfics

Something like that an untitled drabble by @chapeldean (Dean & Charlie)

Untitled therapy drabble: a conversation between Sam and Dean, set after 15 x 18, by @starcrosseddeancas

As a captive: a rewrite of Appointment in Samara by silver_penny that is ethereal and makes you reflect on life and death. (Dean, Death, Tessa)

Are You Okay: a short fluff piece about a hunt gone slightly wrong written by @octoberclidan (Dean x Reader)

Helping: love this canon slice of life by @starlitesky set late in Kelly's pregnancy (Castiel & Kelly)

They were roommates: Drunk Cas cannot hold his tongue about anything including his feelings. A fun little Sastiel piece by @posingasme (Castiel x Sam)

What Goes Around Don't Come Around (or Maybe It Does): The light and the warmth that Crowley deserves by @rauko-creates that I discovered thru the First Sentence Game (Dean x Crowley)

In the Woods (Soulless!Sam edition): by @amemipiacitu. Castiel is still captive, and Dean is still mute, but this version of the story is darker than anticipated. First chapter was written for the Weekly Prompt Challenge (WPC) of the Fanfic Lounge.

Plain sight: AU about a kidnapping that has a lot of twists and turns for a shorter fic! By @luci-in-trenchcoats (Dean x Reader)

Untitled outline by @queerstudiesnatural where Dean uses his words as much as he can… This is lovely 🥰 (Dean x Castiel)

Untitled Lily Saunder pitch set after 15x18 by @sailorsally that gives me Little Mermaid’s vibes (Dean x Castiel)

Prompted: a reread because @bobwess is a master at bloody hurt/comfort short stories (Dean x Castiel)

Not related to Supernatural

Microfiction about someone (Anghim) fond of climbing ☺️ by O. Westin /@microsff

Murdered by Mr Hand Man: My first My Hero Academia fanfic read! (I don't even watch the show or read the mangas..) Shigaraki Tomura coming into the real world to murder you. By dino_boy on AO3. Courtesy of the Fanfic Lounge WPC.

Nobody Likes The Duke Of The North: A fic also written for the @fanficlounge by @verobatto that I should have read a little sooner, but that I discovered thru the First Sentence Game (Original work)

I also started to read two paper books: American Gods by @neil-gaiman and Douze coups de théâtre by Michel Tremblay (around 20 of his stage plays are available in English I don't know about his novels, tho).

Have a good time, and make new friends between the pages!

Tres Belle Belles

  The Stratford Festival production of Michel Tremblay’s masterpiece Les Belles-Soeurs, superbly directed by Esther Jun featuring Lucy Peacock & Seana McKenna, along with a cast of another 15 women, is amazing. I saw a production of this play in the early 80’s but my memory was only of the basic action: pasting stamps into booklets.  Wait, “pasting stamps” you think? Yes ‘pasting stamps’ was…

Je dois lire Les Belles-Sœurs pour une de mes cours et je l'haïs !

C'est juste de chicaner et des vieux femmes parlant à propos de leurs voyages au Urope et les Îles Canaries et leurs filles et le shopping. Et il est pour la plupart slang alors tous ce qu'on lis est écris différent de normal même maintenant au Canada.

Il y a aussi trop des personnages ! On n'a pas besoin de quinze personnages dans cette histoire, peut-être huit mais pas quinze !

Mon dieu si vous pouvez, donnez-moi la chance.

New-Ish ocs

Eve Dearly ( OUAT ) – Henry's twin sister, was adopted before Regina could get both babies, ran away from home and wound up in Storybrooke, the only person other than Henry to age or to realize that time is passing, adopted by Angel Dearly

Gabriel Whittaker / Klaus White ( OUAT ) – Snow's twin brother, Regina tried to have him killed in the Enchanted Forest and he's believed dead but he survived, lost his memories but is sure that if he can just meet Snow, it'll all make sense

Taken in by the Dumas family (Angel Dearly in the Enchanted Forest) and still lives with them in Storybrooke

Livana Gold / Amaris Pan ( OUAT ) – Peter Pan's daughter with a witch from Oz, she wants a child for bloodline magic & Peter basically wanted this child because he thinks if he sacrifices a child's heart from his own bloodline it will extend his own immortality, her mother found out about Peter's plans and went to Rumpelstiltskin for help, they make a deal for a protective charm in exchange for the child's name, the charm is designed that if she's ever in danger it'll bring her to him so he's raising her in Storybrooke, she ages at the same pace as Henry thanks to the charm

Malia Constantine ( Titans ) – bisexual british witch bitch, youngest member of the original Titans, didn't handle the group splitting up well and went a bit off the rails, now running cons to alleviate her boredom

Veronica Bacall ( OUAT ) – Jessica Rabbit

Zoe Giardi ( Glee ); x Mike Chang – Kendra (Del Monico) Giardi's eldest child, cheerio, not part of the Unholy Trinity but friends with them, interested in trying out for Glee but her mom would hate it (so she convinces her mom that she should join to make sure Uncle Will isn't having an affair), Quinn would hate it (so she convinces Quinn that not only should she join but so should the Unholy Trinity so they can keep an eye on Finchel), and Sue would hate it (so she convinces Sue that the four cheerios should be her spies), but honestly she just wants to vibe

The Witching Hour ( Teen Wolf ) – extensive supernatural/hunter family verse, characters are still being named but currently have 16 characters cast

Originally part of the Calaveras, one man saw a young witch girl about to die in a witch burning, killed everyone who was part of it and then adopted her More defectors joined, not all related but consider themselves a family Hunt monsters, not the supernatural (would hunt Deucalion or Peter, would also hunt Kate & Gerard), take in kids whose families were lost to the supernatural world (supernatural kids whose families were killed by hunters, also hunters whose parents were killed by supernatural creatures, also kids who aren’t either but whose parents died in the crossfire) Travel wherever they’re needed but home base is in Argentina

[shesamreads]

Not quite as many as January, but still not bad! A better mix of genres, though it's interesting that I read mainly romance in January, and not as many in February.

I have a few still going (Wool, Head Like a Hole, A Light in the Dark, Never Caught, others probably), that I will hopefully finish up in March.

Notes :

all links lead to the goodreads page of the book, mostly because i like to look at book cover art ;

list features authors/books that i love (T. Kingfisher, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Ursula K. Le Guin, the collections from the British Library Tales of the Weird, etc.), but also a few that i don't like and some that i have not yet read ;

if upon seeing that list the first novel you check out is by Stephen King's you have not understood the assignment ;

not all of those are strictly horror stories, some are 100% science fiction (Brian W. Aldiss' Hothouse for instance).

top 9 books

oh god this is me exposing myself as an "almost exclusively fic reader" i am so sorry dsfkjbdfsdfs. i tried to make a list!!! also some of these aren't even in english i'm sorry again? i used to read a lot more as a kid/teen but once i stumbled onto fanfics it was over for me. anywayyyy, thank you @gayarthur and @eddiebabygirldiaz for tagging me! this is in no particular order, just some that have stayed with me over the years for various reasons:

vampire academy series by richelle mead

heartstopper series by alice oseman (can i include graphic novels??)

pays sans chapeau by dany laferrière

persepolis by marjane satrapi (can i include comics???)

red, white and royal blue by casey mcquiston (literally the only book i've read, with heartstopper, in the past couple years lol yikes)

cassiopée: l'été polonais by michèle marineau

les belles soeurs by michel tremblay (do plays even count lmao??)

listen. i know i need to read more books. and i swear i have actually read a lot as a kid/teen, it's just that a lot of them weren't that memorable i guess? sdfkjdsfbn. and also a lot of what i've read is actually french canadian stuff, soooo. i do read fics everyday tho, if that helps.... 🤡 gotta take some notes and make a to read list tbh

hmm for tags what about @paperstorm @tawaifeddiediaz @oliverstaark @disasterdiaz @aziraaphales @evelyns @henwilsons @laurabenanti @bellamyblakru @lightasthesun @rewritetheending @nymika-arts (no pressure, as always)

Dark Matter: A Ghost Story (Michelle Paver, 2010)

A Head Full of Ghosts (Paul Tremblay, 2015)

I’ve read 73 books this year. Many many books I did not finish and abandoned (i always get between 50-200 pages in to give it a real chance but I don’t believe in reading things I don’t enjoy), so ive actually consumed quite a bit more than 73 books. I did read a lot of dumb, trashy horror and thriller novels. Sometimes I don’t have the energy to read something intelligent and just need something easy. But that really bumps up my read count.

Favourite Albums:

Every year all I listen to are the same albums on repeat and I have a really hard time getting into new music. But this year I was especially into:

Joanna Newsom - Divers (previously I did not enjoy this album of hers but I have come around to it)

Shirley Collins - Adieu to Old England

Shirley Collins - Sweet England

#i always hate posting these too early for what if i see another great movie tomorrow to add to the list but i think i'm pretty safe... #will likely not finish a great novel in two days either
