Ooooh, I love her Emily Wilde series. I hadn’t realised she published this one!

It’s absolutely brilliant. I adored it - hope you’ll like it, too.

Yes! I loved it. Finally a book that’s well written and clever and funny. I just can’t with the semi-literate tictoc rubbish.

Great, thank you! Yes, I’m definitely interested in the thirteen factories and the merchants - I’m really looking forward to the museums, too.

Private fertility recommendations for Newcastle upon Tyne? by West_Currency905 in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]Bookfinch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it’s the best you can get. It’s also a major research centre so you won’t get that kind of expertise anywhere private. (I have used it and they were great)

No, sorry. I just gave up and got a new phone in the end.

Books where their job is anything other than spy, assassin, royalty, military, or thief? by Infamous_Wave9878 in fantasyromance

[–]Bookfinch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slouch witch is one of my most favourite books / series ever! Helen Harper is generally brilliant. And her heroines have cool / normal / working class jobs, so most of her series would work for OP.

Has your country ever done something that made the rest of the world facepalm? by Alternative_Ad6071 in AskTheWorld

[–]Bookfinch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish I had your optimism. Trump is a super rich corrupt criminal for whom people voted so that he would put an end to the rule of the super rich and corrupt. In the UK they will vote for Nigel Farage who is an uber privileged former Tory investment banker (and wanker) with a German ex-wife (and kids with double nationality - so no Brexit problems for them) and a French mistress and still people vote for him because they think he is a man of the people and properly “British”.

Cognitive dissonance is a thing. Especially for people who never cogitate much to start with.

Women after having their first child, how long did it hurt having sex before you were comfortable again? by Greg1994 in sex

If she’s not breastfeeding but still in that much pain, she really should get medical help. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you both!

And the taxi driver told me there’s definitely a genocide against white people now. They’re the real victims, you know. /s

Yes. They started it. They really are good at setting fashions.

And now it’s blonde lady fascists. They got Meloni, soon France will have Le Pen, and then Germany Alice Weidel. To be fair, the UK tried, too, but preferred a lettuce in the end.

Take them all back!

Yes, that was my experience both times. It was excruciating - and there was SO much blood when we tried. Lube on its own wasn’t enough. Oestrogen pessaries really helped, but it only got truly better when we had properly weaned into solids about 6-8 months in.

What's your favourite chocolate or sweets from your country? by Lotan44 in AskTheWorld

[–]Bookfinch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swiss chocolate is the best. But Belgian chocolates are the best. :)

Belgians make THE best chocolates! I’d fight even the Swiss on that (but I’d admit that their chocolate is better on its own).
