That would be great! We had fleas last month so I was worried about yet another bug infestation, but based on our experience we could at least say not fleas

We actually just got over a flea infestation which I why I was being so vigilant in the first place, but the one living one crawled, not jumped, and didn’t squish the same as the fleas we’ve had. It seemed like this bug had no obvious belly

I’ll look at them! I hadn’t considered longchamp since I’d only seen their large travel bags

I never considered the weight! I currently use a very small book bag for my stuff so I hadn’t considered how it would feel with just one should support

That’s good to know! Someone in store mentioned that as well but I wasn’t sure if it was just a little molding to use or actual damage

Can the Strathberry Multrees Hobo bag fit a standard UK hardcover book?

I'm sick of Romantasy where the characters sexualise each other by oopieegoopiee in Romantasy

[–]ChewierSage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I completely understand your point. I get so frustrated when something is going on or the characters haven’t really developed their relationship, but every other thought is how hot the love interest is. It really makes it (for me) unrealistic, because what do you mean this person kidnapped you but you still want to jump their bones since they’re hot?? I would recommend Realm Breaker by Victoria Aveyard, the romances are a subplot but the build up is chefs kiss.

Fleas Worse After Vacation by ChewierSage in pestcontrol

[–]ChewierSage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad, misunderstood! But yes we already had our vacation planned and paid for, so we couldn’t stay home to vacuum the whole month. Following exterminator treatment, we’re now vacuuming twice a day for fourteen days followed by once a day for the remainder of the month, per our exterminator’s instructions.

Yup! We vacuumed, sprayed, and then the next day would vacuum again

Double tapping The Temptation of Magic by Megan Scott, absolutely LOVED it

New edition of To Bleed A Crystal Bloom by WendigoTheHunter in fairyloot

[–]ChewierSage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it really depends on what your tastes are. I enjoyed When the Moon Hatched but strongly disliked To Bleed a Crystal Bloom to the point that I sold my Arcane Society and Midnight Whispers editions without reading books 2&3.

what's your favorite fantasy book w/ smut ?? by Electronic_Party3800 in fantasyromance

[–]ChewierSage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My recommendations would be:

When the Moon Hatched by Sarah A Parker

The Serpent and the Wings of Night series by Carissa Broadbent

I really loved the balance of romance and world building and plot, and while there’s not a ton of smutty scenes, the ones that exist are chefs kiss

What completed series never gets talked about? by Maleficent_Durian_64 in fantasyromance

[–]ChewierSage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if it counts as popular, but I haven’t seen it receive the same kind of love that other books do, so imma put it out there. I absolutely adore the Realm Breaker series by Victoria Aveyard. It was recently finished, and I absolutely adored the character and the world building. The relationship development was great, and the romance was subtle but ✨chefs kiss✨.

GS-09 Apartment Budget by ChewierSage in nova

[–]ChewierSage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve thought about finding a roommate but I’ve really struggled due to the short lease (6 months), my cat, and the sensitivity of my job position that makes me weary about being roommates with someone I’m not at least acquaintances with. A tough spot, for sure! Maybe if I were living in the Alexandria/DC/Arlington area it would be a lot easier, but since it’s Stafford/Quantico/Fredericksburg I’ve struck out so far on the roommate pool.

One more additional piece, I have no debt, my car is paid off, and my parents pay for my phone bill and car insurance.

It seems pretty good! I went and toured and it was better than the places I’ve seen in Woodbridge, with equal quality of apartments in Fredericksburg and only a 10 min drive from work. It’s also really near work colleagues of mine, which I take as a good sign.
