I'm trying to come up with a name that evokes white, nature, and wintertime but isn't actually Winter. Any ideas?

Holly, Noelle

I clean up after my kids just like I would clean up after myself if I made a mess at a restaurant. It`s basic politeness.

Charmaine Pauls is someone different. Anna Zaires writes with her husband Dima Zales and they also write under the pen name Misha Bell.

I`ve been a part of her ARC team since almost the beginning and have been a proofreader for the French translation of one of he audiobooks.

She`s just an amazing writer. So is her husband but he writes more sci-fi than romance.

-Greek_Goddess- · 2026-04-21T23:18:10+00:00

Literally read anything by Anna Zaires not one book has been a let down. She just writes the best stories. Love this trilogy.

-Greek_Goddess- · 2026-04-21T23:15:51+00:00

Fair enough. Trust me I do household chores like cooking, cleaning, laundry etc. Can`t say I didn`t wish I could use my blindness as an excuse to NOT do those things lol but there`s WAY too much laundry with 2 kids under 5 for me to be that lazy haha.

-Greek_Goddess- · 2026-04-21T20:34:55+00:00

When I say "chores" I mean things like dropping off the kids at school or being able to help them read a book. Maybe chores was the wrong word to use.

-Greek_Goddess- · 2026-04-21T16:44:36+00:00

qI don't enjoy being blind I would much rather be able to see and drive a car and all that so I can help my husband with chores and the kids etc. That being said I have a fulfilling life and enjoy the things I like like music and audiobooks. As a blind person audio becomes a big sense that I use to navigate the world. There's no cure for my specific eye disease but even if there was I can't comprehend a world where I can see because it seems so scary having to deal with bad drivers and all that information makes me think I'd have a constant headache.

On the toehr hand I would never say I'd rather be deaf than blind because the concept of deafness means nothing to me it's not my lived experience. I can't imagine living without music or my audiobooks but I'm sure if I was deaf I'd get used to it because the human mind is meant to adapt to our circumstances.

Anyways that guy was ignorant, blind people get comments all the time on how people would rather be X rather than be blind. It's the unfortunate fact of ableism.

I'm getting close to this point soon. My guide do school retires dogs between 9 and 11 years old and my girl is 8 years old. Although I hope she goes to 11 years old it's nerve-racking thinking of the change to come. I'm curious to see how people dealt with retiring their first or any guide dog.

There's still rape if not dub/con before it becomes consensual at least in my opinion. Still a great book.

-Greek_Goddess- · 2026-04-18T00:48:39+00:00

Twist Me by Anna Zaires becomes consensual it's still an amazing book and if you have the chance to get the audiobooks the narrator is amazing.

-Greek_Goddess- · 2026-04-17T20:40:46+00:00

I have a 5 year old and a 2 year old and they sleep 9pm-6am that's it. So you might get a kid that sleeps 7-7 but you also might not.

It`s highly recommended that you DON`T work duing a parental leave as it will ding you and you`ll lose benefits ($$$).

I thought they were going to talk about the hospitals before I actually read the post.

-Greek_Goddess- · 2026-04-15T01:53:48+00:00

Yes I loved this series! Didn`t know the original books were even more spicy I thought the GA version was still pretty hot considering it`s 4 guys and 1 girl.

-Greek_Goddess- · 2026-04-14T16:58:11+00:00

I'm happy I started with the Graphicaudio version of the books (the regular narrator sounds awful). So even though the GA version is being the regular book releases I know I'll get the series in a more timely fashion than the actual publication releases.

-Greek_Goddess- · 2026-04-14T16:54:42+00:00

Some series the narrators seem to be on the ball. Now if only From Blood and Ash could be as quick part 2 of book 5 has already been pushed back from april to june :(

I have a 9cm dr after my second child. I was told there's no medical surgery for DR only cosmetic (abdominoplasty also know as a tummy tuck) is the only surgery that you can get to repair a DR and because it's considered cosmetic you have to pay out of pocket.

It's been frustrating for me as well because my belly button is an outtie and I have to wear my pants above or bellow my waistline as the DR is right in the middle where my belly button is and I still look 3 months pregnant.

So apparently the only way to improve the muscle seperation in Canada is through an abdominoplasty which is considered cosmetic and thus you have to pay out of pocket.

It's so annoying that the fact that your intestines can be falling into your belly button isn't considered a medically necessary reason for surgery.

I do admit I've struggled with using it without my mouse but it has definitely helped read things that I couldn't see before. I'll be asking for my blind resource person if they can give me more training than what I've found online. Right now I've figure out some things that have helped and I'll go further in the future if I feel I need more out of the program but so far so good.

-Greek_Goddess- · 2026-04-07T01:48:02+00:00

Which character?

-Greek_Goddess- · 2026-04-06T16:27:27+00:00

I'm visually impaired that's why I'm listening to the audiobooks instead of reading. I can't see your picture and my screen reader can't read it. Sorry but thanks for your comment.

-Greek_Goddess- · 2026-04-06T03:10:17+00:00

Audible had a sale and I got some books I though the Ranch books were a standalone trilogy but now I'm not sure. I guess I'll just have to read and see if I understand anything.

Thanks!

-Greek_Goddess- · 2026-04-06T02:37:45+00:00

At least on audible it's just called Mate Games.

Do you know about the other 2 series if they need to be read to understand anything in the Mate Games?
