Calling all Spirk admirers (Spock/Uhura and Kirk/Uhura admireres too)
i have a story recommendation for you: Surprise from Star Trek: The New Voyages 2
In which Uhura masterminds a surprise party for the Captain, said Captain is picked up bridal style by Spock (as a distraction obviously), cake apparently explodes, Kirk is just in a towel at one point because of course he is, Spock considers fainting and gets referred to as mothers little helper quite a lot, oh and implies that he can hear everything that goes on in the Captains quarters while just doing the deadpan Vulcan thing 😐.
anyway heres some highlights:
Tumblr media
my favorite part about this scene is how unphased Scotty is like yeah normal day
Tumblr media
The Captain of the Enterprise attempted to gather the towel and his dignity around him. Neither seemed to cover the situation.
Tumblr media
Uhura 😘
Spock 🤨
Did i mention Nichelle Nichols had a hand in writing it, no wonder Uhura gets to have such fun
Honestly i bought this book specifically to read this story and it did not disappoint, a really fun read. The book was pretty cheap too so i really recommend it if you can find a copy
now im off to read the rest of the book

These are all amazing books, each with different but important representation, that I both loved and really needed in my life. If you’re looking for a contemporary read for summer time, this is a great place to start 🌈

"The book has seen immediate success in 2023, debuting as a number one New York Times bestselling novel. Readers love the irreverent fantasy world and the witty characters trying to make a living in a villain’s evil lair. Sure, the villain equips the lair with a top-notch break room, HR, and healthcare, but there are still the trappings of a villain’s daily activities, reminding employees they work for a bad guy. If you, too, can’t get enough of this world, read on for eight funny, romantic, and fantastical books like Assistant to the Villain!
The following books like Assistant to the Villain give readers who are eagerly awaiting book two something to read in the meantime. They are a combination of fantasy romance books that have a dash of action, romance, and comedy to keep any Hannah Nicole Maehrer fan happy. I am head over heels for the odd little subgenre myself, so I guarantee these books like Assistant to the Villain will hit the spot."

I'm always reading, and I recently picked up Rick Rubin's book "The Creative Act: A Way of Being". Rubin has been a musician for 40 years and is mostly known for producing artists from Run DMC to Mick Jagger to the Red Hot Chili Peppers. This book is simply his thoughts on the creative process, and these thoughts can easily be extended to life in general. A quote,
"We're not playing to win, we're playing to play. And ultimately, playing is fun. Perfectionism gets in the way of fun. A more skillful goal may be to find comfort in the process."
Highly recommended.

Jay pauses, turning to face Stygian. "Did Techtra leak your secret identity?"
"I—yes. She did."
Green locks with red as hero and villain meet each other's gazes. Jay smiles, feeling something like exhilaration flutter inside him.
"Can we stop this farce, then?"
"I don't—farce?"
"I don't want to pretend to hate you anymore."
"...pretend?"

Do my fellow Hunger Games loving besties have any book recs? I tend to have very fixed interests and I have re-read the hunger games so many times, and I will again LOL! I usually read sociology related books because I struggle to find other fiction series that I like as much as THG. Any suggestions? Perhaps books with Katniss-vibed protagonists? 👀 I'll also take any THG fanfic recs pls hehe

The Shift Key: Book 1 of Key Connections
Summary:
Humans have long since roamed the Earth, but beside them there has always been... The Others.
As the first human to work for Ironside Security's cyber division, Raina knows she has a precedent to set. With a shiny new degree and the knowledge that she is the best at what she does, it should be easy so long as she follows the rules.
One assignment is all it takes to ruin her carefully made plans.
What happens when a stubborn techie and a surly tiger cross paths?
Soren had thought the hardest part about becoming the Warden of the Northern region would be keeping his temper in check. Then when people start mysteriously disappearing, his responsibilities put the one person he thought he'd never see again directly in his path.
One mistake could send her back into his memories.
Preorder:
This is my first book and as of right now I'm shooting to have it done by end of year! Please check it out, and enjoy the first ever excerpt below the cut!
Excerpt:
“Soren, just because no one else has physically touched the cameras, doesn’t mean that they can’t just hack the cameras.”
She was back around, hands flying across her keyboard before she could get anxious over how he would take that news. She was already in the midst of pulling up the information on each camera stream access when she heard the sound of something breaking.
Temen’s following gasp but lack of reprimand confirmed that it was probably Soren who had caused the ruckus, as Raina couldn’t imagine Temen letting anyone else get away with it.
Raina felt more than saw Soren come up behind her, her back heating with his proximity. His shadow fell over her shoulder, and she fought down a shiver when he gripped the back of her chair and his knuckles brushed her back.
“Rain, I need you to explain exactly what you mean by that.“
She hadn’t been so close to a man since her brief stint in the dating scene during her undergraduate studies, and she rationalized that was why her entire body suddenly felt like her skin was far too tight.
‘Oh I need you far, far, away from me,’ she thought to herself as she turned her nervous energy into her job.
“What I mean,” she started quickly,” is that if you wanted a truly isolated camera system you should have gone a little more old school and kept it to physical tapes. Downside to that would be the endless reels you’d need to keep confidential, but then,” she said, beginning to punctuate each word with a quick snip and enlargement of specific text-
“-you wouldn’t have this problem.”
Before them were a series of IP addresses that Raina had surmised did not match anyone currently allowed access to the feeds.
She had thought jumping ahead of the curve and showing him the problem would get him out of her space faster, but instead he leaned far enough in that she could feel his hard stomach against the back of her head. Suddenly he was close enough that she could smell him: clean, woodsy, and something that was utterly Soren.
The unexpected familiarity of it broke something in her, the crack beneath her rib cage as sharp as any bone. This was why she hadn’t wanted to come back. At sixteen she had been afraid she couldn’t live without him. Now she was twenty six, and once again she wanted nothing more than to turn into his arms and bury herself in him.
Worse, he wasn’t even in his furry form.
“You wanna translate for me?”
She could practically feel the bass in his voice, the rough under current of his near constant growl rolling through her and making her nipples peak against her will.
There was one haunting second where he leaned in impossibly closer, the heat between them suddenly stifling, everyone else forgotten to her human senses except for the shifter caging her in. She felt trapped in way she couldn’t decide if she loved her hated.
When she saw him brace a hand beside her keyboard, she fought not to think about how the too sharp tips of his claws would feel against her skin.
She was a scant second away from embarrassing herself in front of her entire team when she managed to find the will to bring her chair back in a hard spin, jumping up and knocking him off her.
He was, of course, staring at her with a shit eating grin. Those bright blue eyes of his were shining with the same heat currently burning through her body, so she opened her mouth and killed it as brutally as she killed.
“Translation? Those are all the times someone has accessed your security feeds without your permission.”
The smirk finally fell off his face, but it didn’t make her feel better.
“Who?” he questioned.
Raina eyed him for a second, trying to decide the best way to approach the situation.
“Right now I just know that the feeds were accessed, the who will take more time,” she told him truthfully. She had automatically ran the addresses as soon as they were tagged as unknown, but they had all been fake.
Evidently having finally decided it was safe to join the conversation, Temen said asked “How much time?”
Raina understood the severity of the situation given the fact that the creeps they were looking for where in the people snatching industry. It was a time sensitive situation, and as Raina ran through the possibilities in her mind, the options were not looking pretty.
She could do it for sure, though requesting the necessary access to certain databases would take time. That was what she couldn’t accurately gauge, as her first instinct was to bypass those databases to get to what she wanted. One route was right, and one was illegal.
She knew the right thing to do, though.
Her mouth had barely opened to tell them it would take 5-7 business days to get the proper clearences before Soren was once again demanding her attention. He was in her space in seconds, large body moving with grace.
“You can do it now cant you?”
From inches away, he looked down on her, gaze sure.
So she sidestepped towards her team lead like a coward and shook her head.
“No, I can’t-“
“Can’t or won’t?” he pressed, moving forward.
She threw up her hands in defeat, as if that would stop him.
“Soren its not legal for me to-“
“Legal?” he bit out, voice dropping into something less human, “Since when have the rules ever stopped you?”

I saw you love red, white, and royal blue and I've just gotta ask you: have you heard of Burn the House Down by Kenna Jenkins? It's an alternate history novel abt the 1st woman president and her secret sapphic relationship/bearded marriage with her mlm best friend. It also includes a subplot about arson at the White House, ft. An entirely queer main cast and really fleshed out characters, and has a really satisfying ending!
I actually never heard of it before but thank you for sharing this with me!! I'm 100% going to check it out (i love when they give us politics and queers in a book hahaha)!
