What I've Read

• Claimed by the Orc Prince by Lionel Hart - Don't judge me, this was a fun little bit of porn, and I wanted to add another to the Books I Read in February List 
• Spring in Hell and Everything's Blooming by Blackkat - Star Wars Clone Wars - Ok, this was just an excellent Hurt/Comfort story with Jon  Antilles/Rex the Clone Trooper. It's just dark and wonderful. 
• trade your heart for bones to know by Blackkat - Star Wars Clone Wars unfinished, read to chap18 - Oh, man, this is just catnip. 
• Pretty by astolat - Game of Thrones - Jaime Lannister/Brienne of Tarth - a great little epilogue about Cersei on a great story. 
• "Hey, check it out, there's actually fans": (Dis)empowerment and (mis)representation of cult fandom in "Supernatural" by Laura E. Felschow - This was a very interesting look at the dynamics between cult fandom and producers of the shows they love. The focus on Supernatural was a little light and a little early - I would love to see this author  revisit the show's last ten years - but a very solid entry into my reading. It's in Transformative Works and Cultures 4. 

What I'm Reading

• Still reading Running on Lightning Feet by Blackkat from last week - the last few chapters are getting a rewrite and there's an element of risk aversion to the fact that I don't want to finish it before then. 
• One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston - I am about ten pages in, but this book is charming and I need to get the focus set up so I can get on it. 

What I'm Going to Read Next

• "Renegotiating religious imaginations through transformations of "banal religion" in Supernatural" by Line Nybro Petersen
• "Good and Evil in the World of Supernatural" by Avril Hannah-Jones
• I don't really know - I'm not super inspired about it just today, but I have no doubt it's going to be something by Blackkat
• Maybe I'll just stick my hand into the To Read pile and grab something? Who knows, there's a lot there that I could get into!

Work in Progress Report

• I've signed up for Sock Madness, and the qualifying round sock pattern has just come out - so I now have a bunch of things to get into.

Every once in a while I go on a blackkat rereading spree and it is always a good time.

I am beginning to foresee this in my future. I would love any recs!

[schneefink]

Sure! Star Wars only, or Naruto/others also?

[kitewithfish]

I'm mostly in the star wars side of things but I would happily read a good Naruto or other anime fic, if there's a safe entry point for noobs!

[schneefink]

Great, I'll attempt to make a list :)

Same 😂 it was a whole eureka moment when I realized that I could add the smutty manga I read to my StoryGraph profile.

:D It's published, it counts!

Who doesn't need 'fun with a bit of porn'...as a treat. :D

I have 'One Last Stop' on my to read list, good to hear it's charming.

I love Blackkat so much, just one of those authors you can always reread!

[kitewithfish]

I really liked Red White and Royal Blue, and the ten pages or so I have read of One Last Stop seem like I'm going to enjoy it. I just keep getting sidetracked by other books.

Man, in the last few weeks I have read so much Blackkat that it's almost making me want to get into the Clone Wars cartoon again - it's such deeply *good* writing.
