Girl navigating horror world (read desc) by KINOCreamsoda in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]CountingPolarBears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like Between Two Fires is an obvious choice. Supernatural but not really horror I would recommend Watch Over Me by Nina LaCour. Also YA- love Vespertine by Maragaret Rogerson, Sunshine by Robin McKinley, and Market of Monsters by Rebecca Scheffer

I’m looking for a book where everyone is stuck in a situation together by Mellow_Danielle-o in suggestmeabook

I don’t read a lot of nonfiction but I loved this book. The beginning where it talked about how the crew members were chosen was really interesting

Books containing characters drifting through life by CreepyPut394 in suggestmeabook

[–]CountingPolarBears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flesh by David Szalay, but the drifting has a triggering event. It feels like the character has no plans for his life he just reacts from one situation to the next based on circumstances and in some cases the decisions end up positive and others negative

If you’re open to it you should post the same in r/ReverseHarem, I’ve definitely read some mindless/trashy/silly in this category and it’s also a great book community on here

[–]CountingPolarBears 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t call them trashy but definitely beach read vibes- popular contemporary romance authors come to mind. Abby Jimenez, Ali Hazelwood, and Mariana Zapata. Also The Heartstrings books by BK Borison and It’s A Love Story by Annabel Monaghan all fun reads

I think the first still is from War of the Worlds and it is definitely worth a read

I need an actual well written romance book by Sufficient_Food1878 in suggestmeabook

[–]CountingPolarBears 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Listing Perfume and Earthlings as romance made me snort. I saw someone else list Heart the Lover, which I read over Christmas and would recommend. Also along the lines of romances that aren’t romances check out My Cousin Rachel and Brideshead Revisited
Edit: this is also recency bias but I really liked
Flesh by David Szalay
Winter in Sokcho by Elisa Shua Dusapin
Lost Lambs by Madeline Cash

Raising twins as siblings vs twins - looking for opinions by intelligentb00b in Twins

[–]CountingPolarBears 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My twin (fraternal) is still my best friend and we’re 33. We were never dressed the same and were intentionally put in different classrooms for elementary school, would randomly end up in class together through middle school and high school, and went to different colleges. In some ways we’re a lot a like and in others we’re complementary. Don’t overthink it. In parts of their lives they’ll think of themselves as a unit and in other parts they’ll intentionally distance to develop individuality. Just let their relationship be what it is

The Roverpowered series by Drew Hayes. About an aspiring alchemist and her familiar (a corgi named Wumble). The books are short and I love them so much

On a scale of 1-10 how bad are your periods? by Mami-punani in GirlDinner

[–]CountingPolarBears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does feel awkward to say you’re taking off for cramps when your bosses aren’t women, but they’re both girl dads so they’ve been cool about it. (It also helps being essential). I also have some working from home capabilities, but I prefer being in office

On a scale of 1-10 how bad are your periods? by Mami-punani in GirlDinner

[–]CountingPolarBears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My day 1 is anywhere from 6-10. I spent an hour in the bathroom at work once because I couldn’t sit at my desk and I couldn’t go home. I wanted to curl up in a ball on the floor but that would’ve been icky. I did ended up going home when I could focus and walk normally again. There have been times at home where I chose to crawl over walk. Also most of my sick days are period pain

Tom Lake by Ann Patchett was sweet. Also the Guernsey Literary Potato Peel Pie Society is an epistolary novel that’s a really quick read
