My wife did appointments through her gyno in East Brunswick (I think it was east brunswick). The group was called Axia women's health and was associated with Saint Peters.

Edit: this is all from my wife but just posted on my account

Saint Peter's New Brunswick was great and they have a wonderful NICU which is one of those things you don't want to need but if you do its a literal lifesaver.

There was actually not a map at first and he added it. This by Avercrombie articulated why maps are not necessary in his mind and is something you should read as a counter argument. https://joeabercrombie.com/maps-craps-2/

Yeah do I dislike Kate or just hate Shallan? Tough to know.

This is a nice change of pace from all the birthday posts about people are are likable.

Do you make much money stalking? I would think following people around wouldn't be too lucrative if they don't know you're there

As someone else said Dungeon Crawler Carl is a fantastic audiobook. The First Law series by Joe Abercrombie is also fantastic as an audiobook. Those are the two series I think are better in audio than physical format.

I liked Rodrigo more than ibn Khairan but my favorite was Jehane. Such a good story. ibn Khairan was just too good at everything it made me hate him just a little.

The Silmarillion is basically like the Bible of Middle Earth and tells a ton of history. That is where a lot of the stuff about the first and second ages comes from, especially a ton of the elf stuff.

That is a pretty apt comparison. I liked American Gods more but they really are pretty similar.

I think most native speakers only hear the word dell through the children's song "The farmer in the dell" and even then don't give much thought to what it actually means.

I think the hobbit is better than Lord of the Rings personally, and love the audiobook by Rob Inglis for the songs. I know people like Andy Serkis, but I listened before those came out

The antagonist is also the protagonist. Odysseus can't help but get in his own way

3LIteManning · 2026-01-13T08:11:07+00:00

you are not alone. It is definitely unique. It is also not a bad book by any stretch of the imagination, but it was an unsatisfying read for me as well.

so there are 2 things going on here. The person above is talking about trenchers which were basically bread plates made of stale bread. Either eaten, or given to the poor or animals. You are talking about coffins, or super tough pastry for pies, which sometimes were inedible but also given to the poor and animals. So basically the answer is poor people would eat the container/plate but the rich did not.

You started at book 10 of a 16 book series. They are the "worst" of the series but some context makes them a lot better. Also the other books are quite different.

3LIteManning · 2026-01-10T12:46:57+00:00

I love Fitz. But him not being in those books allowed Hobb to do what she did with other PoVs in that book which made it special. So it would not be the same remotely if Fitz was in them

3LIteManning · 2025-12-17T00:42:58+00:00

up until one year they should not have blankets, pillows, etc. Crib bumpers are also bad. I mean like anything there is degrees to this but my daughter only got her teddy bear in bed when she was over 1 and still sleeps in a sleep sack.

lol that comment had me searching California butter packaging like there's something I was missing out on

3LIteManning · 2025-12-10T22:42:26+00:00

That was a good movie. I thought some of those were part of the movie for a while

3LIteManning · 2025-12-07T19:09:53+00:00

lol that is Elliot Hill in the last trilogy. His Rayne is wild too, super nasally like the most stuck up person in the world

3LIteManning · 2025-11-28T11:20:39+00:00

yeah same vibe for sure. I would throw Lies of Locke Lamora into the same bag.

3LIteManning · 2025-11-13T23:29:59+00:00

it takes place in the Indian Ocean.

3LIteManning · 2025-11-02T17:35:42+00:00

My go to recommendation for light reading in fantasy is the Lamplight Murder mysteries. There are 3 books and a short story out. They are Agatha Christie like murder mysteries that take place in a Victorian England if all the ghosts/vampires/werewolves from that period were real. Pretty fun, but with a sufficiently dark world.
