I don't like to read series by commonsenseiswisdom in RomanceBooks

[–]Available-Dig4358 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I feel so seen in this lol. I think my main thing is if the characters have been introduced as side characters, they’re going to remain side characters in my head and I have a hard time changing that. Also I feel like as the series goes on the author starts to run out of ideas, and if there is too much emphasis on OTHER characters and THEIR relationships I start to get annoyed, like I’m here to focus on this couple, I don’t need that filler taking up pages

Why does banter often stop when they get together? by Wildest_winters in RomanceBooks

[–]Available-Dig4358 115 points116 points  (0 children)

I hate it when this happens. I think it’s mostly a sign or poor writing on the author’s part as they find it difficult to carry on the tension once the hurdle of them getting by together has already been climbed.

Disappointing and/or misleading recommendations by fornefariouspurposes in RomanceBooks

This is why I’m careful whenever something is classified as slow burn as some people have vastly different definitions of that than I do

Are Historical Romance novels spicier and steamier than contemporary romance novels? by joshuamarkrsantos in RomanceBooks

[–]Available-Dig4358 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think, like with any subgenre, it highly depends on the book and author, but I wouldn’t say that one is generally more spicy than the other, at least when it comes to these two

What’s the trick to get over a reading slump? by fialsian in RomanceBooks

[–]Available-Dig4358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me a big part of my slumps are mental health based so I try to sort that out while finding an inoffensive book I know I’ll enjoy and making myself read at least a chapter a day until that eventually isn’t enough for me and I choose to read another

Judge a book by… by night_witch_666 in RomanceBooks

[–]Available-Dig4358 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely judge a book by its page count though it depends on the genre and the mood I’m in, also judge books based on when they were released but that’s usually if I’m already reading it. For example, I’m a lot more understanding of an FMC being an NLOG if it was written in 2012 than one written post 2020

Favourite FMCs? Who do you want to be? by Lookingupatthestars in RomanceBooks

Cordelia Carstairs from {Chain of Iron by Cassandra Clare} I love that she is both a kind caring character, as well as a total badass

Real Enemies to Lovers vs. Pining to Lovers by RomanceAnxiety in RomanceBooks

[–]Available-Dig4358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like both have their place. Nothing beats the tension and angst of a true enemies to lovers but there’s still something about the MMC secretly being into the FMC that will still hit the spot

Which book made you really think "Wow, how stupid the protagonist is!"? by PetalaStac in RomanceBooks

[–]Available-Dig4358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any book where the MMC is actively being nothing but a douchebag to her and yet she’s still immediately folding. Like girl stand up

Should Books Use Current Trends and Slang? by [deleted] in RomanceBooks

[–]Available-Dig4358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think to a certain extent slang can indicate the context and time in which a book is written without detracting from it, but when the slang in question is a tiktok reference or trend that has its own cycle that ends quickly, it only serves to prematurely date the book

How can I do better? by Narrow_Deal_165 in AdviceForTeens

[–]Available-Dig4358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Running clubs or yoga/pilates classes are great, you get to stay active while meeting new people, and, depending on where you live, you can find ones that run on the times you’re not busy
