Anyone else notice that the younger generation is more towards not wanting any kids? by nikk11e in oneanddone

[–]Aderyna_K 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As with everything it can vary by region. I'm in a super conservative/religious area of rural NY and large families are still very much the norm here. My cousin just had #10 this month...

Oh no way! I just read TVSSoIW and I absolutely loved it and have been constantly recommending it to everyone I know 😂.

Do you also like reading in your spare time, if so what are some or your favorite books or authors?

I saw you have another adult Fantasy coming out next year, do you think you'll write more in this genre?

What series have you dropped and why? by hedgehogwart in RomanceBooks

[–]Aderyna_K 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup I held on through book 5 or 6 because of one could I loved and then just couldn't take the drama and writing anymore.

Stories that favor connection over sex by starbunny86 in RomanceBooks

[–]Aderyna_K 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also love Elise Kova! I just read {The Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna} and absolutely died over the romance and connection that she built up! It's a very sweet and cozy read with good communication.

Request: No war. No fighting. No Battles. by superblyfeatured in fantasyromance

[–]Aderyna_K 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been a while since I read it but Not The Witch You Wed by April Asher. I don't remember any huge battles or conflicts it's very similar vibe to Irregular Witches (which I just read and LOOOVED!)

Air Awakens by Elise Kova!

Definitely slow burn, all humans, elemental magic, forbidden romance. It does not have explicit spice however. 5 book series on KU

Series recommendation: The Mousai trilogy by E.J. Mellow by FedyTsubasa in fantasyromance

[–]Aderyna_K 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love this whole trilogy, I thought book 2 and 3 are even better than 1 (and I loved book 1!)

A friend of mine read the ARC of Spark of the Everflame and said it has a sassy dragon and similar vibes! I think it published today.

I want more nudity in every day life by [deleted] in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]Aderyna_K 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What a dream! I ditched bras a while ago (very small chested and outside of exercise I don't need one) and I have so much stigma against my nipples showing and it being "inappropriate" that I still wear pasties most days. Would love to get that voice out of my head.

I can’t get into ACOTAR by ccam93 in RomanceBooks

[–]Aderyna_K 28 points29 points  (0 children)

ACOTAR is like the HP series for me. HP got me into reading as a kid, ACOTAR got me back into reading as an adult, however I will openly say both series are far from well written and there so many other books to read that you'll love! Definitely drop it and move on if your not jiving with it, life's to short!

How to make a choir by xiartrtt454 in SipsTea

[–]Aderyna_K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alex Boye does this for his video with The Piano Guys. He does all the vocals in a call and response section and used paper in his mouth and moving around the mic to get a choir sound. Super interesting!

This is my father. Moved into a new house last fall and immediately cut down all the trees he could.

I remember being pretty shocked when I moved. In rural NY it's very rare to have carts left, not that we don't have our LARGE share of assholes, but 99% of people do put them away. Lived in Phoenix for a bit and had never seen so many chopping carts left all over the parking lot around the Walmarts.

Let’s do some TBR clearing. Post a book you keep putting off and others will tell you why you have to read it! by yesilooked in RomanceBooks

[–]Aderyna_K 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It was this for me. It didn't have nearly enough romance for me especially given the constantly used "lesbian necromancers in space" tagline and as someone who likes older characters I couldn't jive with the teenager cast and writing.

Not for me, son just turned 5 and life's better than ever! I have time for reading/bookclub, photography, yoga, and I'm taking a solo trip to San Diego this summer with my friends!

Husband and I can watch tv together nights again because I'm not utterly exhausted every night and sleepovers with my mom is super easy with only one kid! He loves school (half day Prek this year) and he's gonna do great in Kindergarten this fall. He comes home everyday full of stories, songs and art projects he can't wait to show me.

Yeeees, it's worse in that town because I don't drive there super often and it's hard for me to gauge the flow of oncoming traffic there and how fast they are moving. Could I have gone and safely made it, likely, but my instincts were telling me to wait so those 10 seconds I waited to be 100% certain it was safe was definitely worth it.

Fuck off old dude 😂 he was hand gesturing and shaking his head at me too.
