What I’m Reading

Note: Although I will try to avoid them, my weekly reading snippets may or may not contain spoilers, so read at your own risk.

What I #amreading: Artificial Heart by T.A. Creech

My favorite lines this week:

✿✿ SUNDAY ✿✿

With a deep breath, he straightened his deep green tie in a nervous little twitch and strode into the squat, beige eyesore that was his new workplace.

✿✿ MONDAY ✿✿

“You want anything?” Travis called back.

“No.” Moving away from the windows, Virgil glanced around in an attempt to find a reasonably clean seat in the establishment. An absolute failure. He gave up that desperate search after only a moment and stood in silence.

✿✿ TUESDAY ✿✿

Travis couldn’t help but chuckle at his partner’s faux disdainful expression. Virgil worked with a whole host of alphas, day in and day out, never once doing anything worse than cock a severe black eyebrow until the other backed off. Travis refused to question such a kindness though.

✿✿ WEDNESDAY ✿✿

“Cease moving,” Virgil growled in his ear. “You are in enough trouble as it stands. Further attempts at foolishness will not be tolerated.”

✿✿ THURSDAY ✿✿

“My hair is not for guidance. I am well aware of what I’m doing.”

✿✿ FRIDAY ✿✿

“No?” Travis breathed, the only thing that kept him present instead of lost in a quaking panic.

✿✿ SATURDAY ✿✿

His mate didn’t snore, Travis suspected Virgil didn’t need to sleep really, but the whirring clicks of his alpha’s air intake apparatus served the same vaguely annoying function. Different, but so much the same.
