This Month, I Read: August
Fic recs! Fic recs! Fic recs!Ā
Blame it on the ADD baby, but what I end up doing is liking, and reblogging with a tag- and somehow a few weeks later, when the brain fog has cleared up a little bit and I can gush, tumblrās lost it somehow.Ā
But, I am on Tumblr not just to dump my feelings in but because I love to read and there are so many talented writers who do all of this for free,Ā and I need to tell you I love you,Ā
I LOVE YOU.
Anyway: here are this monthās bookmarks!Ā ā” ā” ā” ā” ā”
Charming, by @taeken-my-heartā Prince Seokjin x Commoner ReaderĀ ~4.5k ā¢ ā¢ ā¢Ā
SummaryĀ āŗ Ā Prince Seokjin was as infuriating as he was beautiful. In line to one day be king, he requested your guidance in the ways of his people. In turn he will make you laugh, give your family fine gifts, and become an invaluable friend. Unfortunately, he will also make you fall in love with him. But the most unfortunate thing of all was his betrothalā¦to Snow White. ā¢ ā¢ ā¢Ā
I listened toĀ āŗ Ā Brea and the Library - Samuel Sim ā¢ ā¢ ā¢Ā
Excerpt I liked āŗ Ā The three of you, friends since you could remember, filled to the brim with laughter, scraped knees, and all as plain looking as could be. This suited you fine, and there was little to disappoint you but short moments of impassioned arguments with your two best friends and a brief encounter with the very silly king and his very silly son. ā¢ ā¢ ā¢ Why you should readāŗ Prince Seokjin! Forbidden love! A castle in the village and youāre the tailorās daughter and you fall in love with a Prince. The author writes like a fairytale. Read it!
Cursed, by @springbeanāā Prince!Jungkook x Witch!Reader ~2.5k ā¢ ā¢ ā¢Ā
Overview āŗ Ā Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall, just as the sun and the moon do. When one rises, many of things follow in its wake until its ultimate fall again. However, since the dawn of time, man has seen to pause fall as much as possible. In the land of Thorinlain, and in its many of kingdoms, the fall and rise of monarchies and castles were but common occurrences. As the ages passed and the days continued on, the mysteries of Thorinlainās mages and solstice bonds became but mere fairytales. That is... until now. ā¢ ā¢ ā¢Ā
I listened toĀ āŗ Ā The Monk, The Lady and the Bastard - Tilo AlpermannĀ ā¢ ā¢ ā¢
Excerpt I likedĀ āŗĀ Ā I was too young to know the signs of a solstice bond. Too young to know of the curse I had been born with. When I was ten, the nightmares began. I would wake in cold chills with fire in my bones. It felt like the room was spinning and on fire at the same time.Ā ā¢ ā¢ ā¢ Why you should readāŗ Itās ongoing! High fantasy! Promise of magic, high stakes and vivid battles. Iām so excited. Bro, you should be too.Ā
Say So, by @jincherie Rockabilly!Namjin x Burlesque!MC ~24k ā¢ ā¢ ā¢
Summary Ā āŗĀ Ā Returning to your hometown for a week is something youāve managed to avoid for three years, but when you can finally put it off no longer you find upon arrival the very thing you were scared of encountering. When the two famous childhood friends you havenāt spoken to in years have returned at the same time as you, you canāt quite tell whether youāre going to be able to make it out in one piece or emerge with a heart more wounded than before. Especially since it turns out the feelings you thought you were over never quite went away. ā¢ ā¢ ā¢
I listened to āŗĀ Mr. Brightside - The Killers, My! My! My! - Troye Sivan ā¢ ā¢ ā¢
Excerpt I liked āŗĀ You know that logically, they canāt be here, but the profiles you can just barely glimpse from this distance are so eerily familiar to that of Namjoon and Seokjin that you think your heart skips perhaps one too many beats. For some reason, your stomach roils with the urge to flee; you just got around to admitting that you miss them, and yet the second you think you might be seeing them, you want to run away? ā¢ ā¢ ā¢
Why you should readāŗĀ Ā I DONāT HAVE TIME TO TELL YOU ALL THE REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD READ IT NONE ARE ACCEPTABLE ANYWAY unless youāre under eighteen because thereās smut at the end in which case please be responsible of the content youāre consumingĀ thereās angst and steam and excruciating almosts, sometimes I had to pause reading to calm down or kick air. GO READ IT.
Tuwing Umuulan, Bumubuhos || When it Rains, it Pours, by @baepsaesbaeā Married Taehyung x Reader ~500 ā¢ ā¢ ā¢
Summary Ā āŗ Some good olā fashioned walking in the rain with the love of your life. ā¢ ā¢ ā¢
I listened to āŗĀ I Will Spend My Whole Life Loving You - Imaginary Future, Kina Grannis ā¢ ā¢ ā¢
Excerpt āŗĀ āThis brings me back,ā Taehyung said softly. āWhat does?ā you questioned. āThe rain. Remember how we first met?āĀ
Why you should readāŗĀ Thereās nothing like short, straightforward fluff to warm your feet on a cold day.Ā
Thatās it for now.Ā ā” ā” ā” ā” ā”
There wouldāve been more but I had the idea to start this past mid-August and then I decided to go back on keto and then I got swamped with work because I need money for mmmm fooooood.Ā
I have my bookmarks for September already, though! Hopefully I have more downtime to just kick back and read. Fantasy and kind words good for the soul. If you liked any of these stories, please send the authors your love and reblog :)Ā
See you next month!
