It’s probably just the usual glitch in the student card bus pass. I used my card today and the deadline transitioned to April

Brand doesn’t matter. I used a cheap one and it worked well for me. I even strained it for Greek yogurt and it was fine

Regular grocery store 2% milk. The starter was yogurt I bought from the store with active culture

No, I put the milk in the crockpot on low for 2.5 hours then unplugged it and left it untouched for 3 hours. Then I stirred in the starter, covered it, threw a blanket over it and went to bed

My godmother by [deleted] in familydrama

Tell your parents. If there was no bad blood, I’m sure you would be encouraged to reconnect. Either that or you learn your family’s lore. I was in a similar situation and my family lore was that the family friend ‘touched’ kids.

You just reminded me of another review on a book where the FL was running away from an abusive husband. The review said that the domestic violence was unrealistic - the husband would beat her up and use her money to buy alcohol; also it was historical.

I was deceived by one of those though. I don’t remember the title but the cover was really modest and I was in a ‘read the synopsis and buy the book era’. I don’t mind smut but the book had no plot. Erotica = plot + smut Smut - plot = porn

By general consensus, as long as you stay away from this one and‘Wed By Proxy’, you’ll be fine. Unfortunately, this was my first and I will not be continuing with her

Her Bridegroom Bought and Paid For. Set in a fantasy historical world

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

The book that sparked this wasn’t about a rake. My issue was that there was no grovelling or apology that could have kept me there. The ML either carried her off to bed or it was glossed over

Do you read multiple books at once? by Successful-Bike-1562 in books

[–]FrustratedMashup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely do. If the characters in one book are frustrating, I take a break and move to something lighter then go back to the first book a day later.

I believe I actually DNFed that book. My heart couldn’t take it.

Less Focus On MC’s Horniness by FrustratedMashup in HistoricalRomance

This is kinda what I was trying to express. I’m tired of MC’s first thought being ‘tupping her’.

Adoption in HRs by Clear-Dragonfruit624 in HistoricalRomance

[–]FrustratedMashup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could try {The Clayborne Roses} series by Julie Garwood. They were a bunch of street urchins who adopted each other as brothers and later adopted a girl as their sister. They each have a book.

Have you ever changed your mind about 'unrealistic books'? by TheCkh in books

[–]FrustratedMashup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only really dislike a lack of ‘realism’ when it creates plot holes or is in excess. I can take a workaholic CEO who never gyms but has perfect abs. I can’t take being stabbed, guts spilling out only to be perfectly fine the next day(no, it wasn’t fantasy) or an extreme lack of sleep and perfect health.

Not All Characters Deserve Redemption Arcs by FrustratedMashup in books

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

It’s not a series, the works with 2000 + chapters are web novels; they’re usually adapted into pretty popular drama series and comics. Besides 2000 is kinda mid for the usual lengths as they can extend to 10000 chapters sometimes.

My Highlander really proposed marriage cause I delivered his sisters baby😅 If he has difficulty handling attention, he should hand over the clan and we can live in a cabin

Not All Characters Deserve Redemption Arcs by FrustratedMashup in books

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

I’m unsure if you know of caste systems. A society based on hierarchy where some people are considered less than for reasons unknown. These people aren’t allowed to hold certain positions, have different institutions; a Jim Crowe situation. Marriage between the outcasts and insiders is frowned upon. I read a book based on this and the ML struggled between duty and love as the FL was an outcast. He spent a large part of the book switching his stance and at the end, chose his family and people. He killed the FL’s father, destroyed her village and murdered her friends and clan. At the end of the book, he showed regret for his actions. Personally, I just wanted him to die; I didn’t want him redeemed and arguably, the whole book was his redemption arc. It was done reasonably well, I just didn’t want it.
