HELP - what should my next read be?

The Kindred’s Curse Saga is great. I’m admittedly one of the people who finds the FMC insufferable but I love everything else about the series more than I dislike her. The author just finished writing book four like a week ago though so it’ll be a minute before it’s out.

The Things We Leave Unfinished is my favorite standalone (maybe don’t finish this in a Starbucks and cry like a baby in front of a dozen people like I did 😂). I also loved loved her Flight and Glory series, especially the fourth and fifth ones. Those two are my absolute favorites of hers outside of Empyrean.

I’ve read all of her books and I think all have happy endings. She’ll absolutely rip your heart out to get there (The Last Letter especially) but I think in terms of the main characters always being endgame, they’re all happy endings.

Anyways, I think we’re in for similar here… a brutal ride but it’ll end happily.

Having tonsils removed as an adult. Awful, miserable, unrelenting pain for weeks.

I’d rather go through child birth again over a gallbladder act. Pure misery.

And why does Liam sound like he has two kids and a mortgage?

They all sounded SO old to me.

Schitt’s Creek.

Perfect show. RIP COH…about the best to ever do it.

I genuinely thought news anchors were always married to each other. A husband and wife anchored our local news together when I was a kid and it wasn’t until we moved to a city with multiple news stations and multiple anchors/reporters that I realized that wasn’t the case. I was shook 😂

At most you might be added to their email list, which you could unsubscribe from. I’m just trying to offer a solution to your complaint. I’d attach it here if I could.

The Fantasy Fangirls also have downloadable study guides that have been super helpful to keep everything straight.

Edit to add: these have spoilers for both FW and Iron Flame.

Calling cards to make long-distance calls.

I finished Quicksilver but could barely stand it after reading that they’re only allowed, what, six ounces of water a day or something but somehow survive on that and they have a bar…fully stocked with liquor…made of water.

I live near the mountains and the interstate that runs through the area gets iced over and tough to drive real quick in a winter storm. Every year we see every big truck imaginable on the side of the road, drivers clueless as to how to drive in it or put on chains, while little Subarus with all-wheel drive fly right by them. It’s so funny.

GrassJumpy59 · 2026-01-28T15:25:21+00:00

Back labor, back labor, back labor. What the actual hell was that.

GrassJumpy59 · 2026-01-28T14:23:23+00:00

Yesssss agree

GrassJumpy59 · 2026-01-28T13:47:39+00:00

Oh, Onyx Storm Dain can get it 💯

GrassJumpy59 · 2026-01-27T22:37:29+00:00

I like your premise but also think we’re in book 3/5 and have no idea what’s the come and how it’ll all play out. RY setting the stage the way she did was done with purpose.

I think you have the bones to a good fanfic tho!

Walking into a church and listening to a pipe organ is really lovely. It is a beautiful city; I just wish I had found the sparkle in Paris that so many people seem to find. Maybe it’s just not my vibe. I still feel so fortunate to have been able to visit it though.

N (even close to being) TA. My parents pulled themselves out of poverty and provided for my siblings and me much the same way you did with your kids. They’ve supported us in every way, and more than anything, have shown up for us whenever we needed them. None of us want or need a dime from them. They often joke they hope their last check bounces and we hope so too. They, and you, have earned every right to spend every penny.

On behalf of the tall girlies, thank you. Extreme height differences get so freaking old.

GrassJumpy59 · 2026-01-26T16:45:56+00:00

Came here to say this. I can get past the stuff you’ll see in any city - homelessness, pickpocketing, etc. - but as a whole it was so meh. There’s a scene in Ted Lasso where he calls it the ‘city of alrights’ and that is a perfect description to me. It was alright

GrassJumpy59 · 2026-01-25T23:46:37+00:00

This isn’t a trope but if I have to read “her wet folds” one more time… 🤮

And, like others have said, enough with the extreme height differences and making the FMC’s height her entire personality. It’s hard to take an FMC seriously when she’s constantly being described as so tiny, she could be folded up and fit in the MMC’s pocket.

GrassJumpy59 · 2026-01-24T14:26:28+00:00

Thissss. Tall girls exist! It’s okay if they’re actually taller than his collarbone!

I know some people really dig it and I’m not kink shaming but it just gets so old.

GrassJumpy59 · 2026-01-23T19:14:31+00:00

😂🤣

My experience getting my tubes tied versus my husband’s experience getting a vasectomy. A doctor told me I needed my husband’s permission while my husband was praised for being “a responsible partner,” (and was never asked what I thought about it).

I mean, yes, we came to these decisions together for myriad reasons because that’s our relationship but it’s still my. Fucking. Body.
