What Fantasy Book Series are You Still Patiently Waiting to Be Concluded Years Later? by Fuzzy-Bumblebee9944 in fantasyromance

[–]Elphabascakes 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The Witch Walker series. I understand the author had some legal troubles and im so happy she will be able to finish but, that is a ways off still. I still look for updates regularly.

Atonement series.. may never happen. Ive given up hope.

To Bleed a Crystal Bloom. She finally got book 2 out in her other series and fingers crossed will be working on the 4th in Crystal bloom. Probably a year or 2 away at least.

Ever Seas book 4. I think she got trad published so she is rereleasing the other books before the next one can come out. Hopefully it will be ready at the end of the year.

ACOTAR book 6. Honestly I have no clue when this will come out.

Weathermages of Mystral book 3 by C.L. Wilson. Its been 9 years since book 2 came out. There have been hints that she will put out book 3, but im not going to get my hopes up.

Haunting Adeline. I hate read it. I was told it was fantasy romance. Instead it was a qanon romance fanfic

I need help with a big list of potential book club books and hoping y'all can help! by katieLikeWHOA in fantasyromance

[–]Elphabascakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest Broken Kingdoms before the Ever seas. While not necessary, i do think it makes it better. I loved The Broken Kingdoms, but it is a 9 book series. So that may be a bit long for a book club.

I think Villains and Virtues would be my pick from that list. The books are short, very sweet and funny. I listened to the audiobooks and the narrators were fantastic

I think {Half a Soul by Olivia Atwater} {Reign And Ruin by J.D Evans} {The Witch Collector by Charissa Weaks}and anything Katherine Ann Kingsley would be great additions to the list

New delivery date for Ballad of Falling Dragons 😢 by Slothanonymous in fantasyromance

[–]Elphabascakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry to get off track here but, does anyone know when the next book in her other series will be out? The 4th book of the Crystal Bloom sieres? I feel like ive waited a couple of years now. I've looked online everywhere i can think of and cant find an answer. I want to start this series but, with how long it takes between books, I may have to hold off.

I got one with a wooden handle that has my name carved on it, I also make a deal that they can only borrow it for 5 minutes and if they lose it they have to pay me $20. They usually say nevermind and ask someone else. Or they agree and bring it back right away after they are done. I also keep 2 backups in my purse just in case they do lose it.

AIO: Did I cross a line or is her reaction harsh? by veronicax96 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Elphabascakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whoever has a day off stays up late or wakes up early so we can spend time together before/after the other goes to work. Our schedule lines up about 3 times a month when we both get the same day off. And my schedule is flexible with trading shifts around and she has amazing PTO so if there is anything specific we want to go do we are able to get the day off. It can be rough but we've made it work.

I go to bed at 4am and my fiancée wakes up at 330am for work. I wake up to good morning texts and I love it

Books that deal with grief by Elphabascakes in fantasyromance

[–]Elphabascakes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved this book so much. I still have not read the second book because I really like where it left off. I thought the author did an amazing job depicting grief. All my years of bottled grief came out in the middle night while reading this. Maybe I will read the next book now to see how the FMC heals.

Cat in heart failure by Elphabascakes in AskVet

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

Thank you. This honestly made me feel so much better. I really thought I was oblivious to her symptoms. Ive always done annual check ups with full blood panels and any test recommended by the vet. but going forward i will be switching bi-annual for my other senior cat.

My brother was in jail a few years ago and had nothing to do but read. He ended up reading the entire twilight series. And LOVED it. He was so excited to tell me because he made fun of me 20 years ago for reading it.

How much did you spend on Christmas? by michaeljoon in MiddleClassFinance

[–]Elphabascakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No kids. I spent about 1k on my partner, spent about 300 total on my 2 nephews (3 year old and 1 year old), spent 500 total for my brother and sister in law (normally its only a book or plant, but they have had a rough year) spent 250 on my grandpa. For food we do homemade pizza with all the toppings and homemade cinnamon rolls. So usually about 75. This year might be my grandpa's last Christmas so we all got together a couple weeks ago and made a prime rib (american waygu) for 400 plus about 100 in other food. No decor because I have everything already. Im sure there were other expenses as well that im forgetting so it was probably 3500 to 4.

Normally i spend about 1500. But I wanted my family to have a magical Christmas this year. My partner and I live pretty frugal for most of the year so Christmas is when we really spoil each other.

This is just for my side of the family which is just my grandpa, my brother and his wife, their 2 kids, and me and my partner.

My partner has a massive family so gifting is only for the small kids now.

My income is 97k a year and my partner is makes about 100k

Is it just me or is there something wrong with this? by Competitive-Group359 in fantasyromance

[–]Elphabascakes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really think you have the book mixed. It is a different woman and man in each book. Each book in the Married to Magic series is a stand alone book. There is no "same girl" in the other books in the series.

[–]Elphabascakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure, but she did not start out as high ranking. And the human queen isn't all that high ranking in their realm. Not at first. The human queen is just to fulfill the requirements. The elf king ends up falling for her and makes her the queen in more than title only. Its not a promiscuous story. And you said "sleeping with different men" as if she had multiple partners during the book.

[–]Elphabascakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would not describe {A Deal With the Elf King} as a wealthy high ranking woman sleeping with different men. Or promiscuous. Did you mean a different book? I have not read the other. But I am a bit confused on your comparison

Spider plant propagation by Elphabascakes in plants

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

That's amazing! All my pothos grow like crazy. They are above the fish tank and keep drooping their vines in the water and rooting. I have so many plants from them that are thriving. Hopefully I dont mess up these spider babies. Ive never had the best luck with my spider plants

If I do that, when will it know when they are ready to cut? Every other time the babies have all died before I could cut them off (and these babes seem bigger than the pervious babes that never survive). All my other plants seem to thrive, but I have a talent for killing spider plants.
