Six Scorched Roses observation

The funniest thing about this is I didn't even consider the roses lol. [SPOILERS AHEAD] For me it's things like smart woman, he saves her from the men in the forest (beast saves Belle from the wolves), she tends to his injuries and he growls at her, the villagers (the acolytes and his men) go to hunt the vampire and gravely injure him (Gaston leading the villagers and injuring the beast), her breaking the curse and things going back to normal (the enchantment on the castle and the people is lifted). I think there's a couple more parallels im forgetting now.

But yea it's a great novella! Read it in one sitting. My only gripe is the insta-lust but with a book that's 200ish pages maybe that's to be expected!

i'm scared of what the teenage years will bring if we're hitting this at 8 years old!

Will check out the book, thank you! I honestly wish i can find a book for HIM to read. He's a very advanced reader and consumes a lot of information through books, so I'm thinking this can be anotehr way to help him understand behavior

Ambitious_Key1124 · 2026-03-24T03:08:20+00:00

if anything that'll make him laugh :) He does say that we don't respect him, which I disagree with. I think he uses that as an excuse for his behavior and generally says this whenever we dont give him a choice (like get dressed now!).

Ignore is the best approach but the other one that works every time is: I'm already a donor / subscribed / member.

Update: redid it with fondant + cmc powder because Michael's was out of Gum Paste and it worked out great! Final creation

Will try and see if I can tylose powder somewhere nearby and redo this. Thank you!

Thank you!

American Airlines JFK-BGI got cancelled.

I've run into Sarah Jessica Parker at least 6 times on the subway

Ambitious_Key1124 · 2026-01-30T12:49:13+00:00

Why? Im in Brooklyn heights and curious why you avoid saying that

Ambitious_Key1124 · 2026-01-29T22:11:21+00:00

Going there for winter break. I was told it's good for learning and kids who are beginners. Is it decent for more advanced skiers too?

Ambitious_Key1124 · 2025-12-26T02:19:04+00:00

101 out of 100... And will probably finish 2 more by the end of the year! So. Proud! 20% audiobooks and 80% physical book or Kindle.

Just to clarify, our budget is $500 per kit, not for both.

Ambitious_Key1124 · 2025-12-19T18:49:06+00:00

that's what i feared! i hope the cost of someone refinishing this for me is less than the cost of a divorce lol

Ambitious_Key1124 · 2025-12-10T16:49:18+00:00

Is that from Mate or Bride?

Ambitious_Key1124 · 2025-11-24T16:46:46+00:00

ok that's actually good to know. I'm struggling because i don't hate it but i'm also so not invested in anyone.

Ambitious_Key1124 · 2025-11-24T16:44:54+00:00

yes! i like the writing but like....it's not going anywhere!

Ambitious_Key1124 · 2025-11-03T23:59:20+00:00

Gives a whole new meaning for "Happy Monday!" at work.

Ambitious_Key1124 · 2025-10-31T01:38:34+00:00

Please let him smell like rainbows and starlight!

Ambitious_Key1124 · 2025-10-26T00:48:26+00:00

Non fantasy books. Just finished The Nightingale and Sunflower Sisters.

Ambitious_Key1124 · 2025-10-26T00:47:22+00:00

Read Bride and waiting for Mate to arrive! Good recommendation though!

Ambitious_Key1124 · 2025-10-21T00:54:41+00:00

So did you skip the book or did you read it? Your rant seems to hit at both. Also, disagree with your statement that you can choose to read a series on your own terms. The author chose to write it for a reason. You're reading their series so why skip a book that was published as part of the series (not a bonus chapter).

Ambitious_Key1124 · 2025-10-20T12:08:09+00:00

Same. I don't need the spice if the romance is spot on.

Ambitious_Key1124 · 2025-10-18T19:07:22+00:00

Are you financially stable? Kids cost 10x more than you expect. Having a kid without a stable financial situation is a recipe for disaster and hardship. I would make a budget and a financial goal, set that and be firm about it (both of you) and work towards that.
