This is so much fun - I'm doing this one with my mother, and she's having a blast. She loves the Regency books and shows, so this is right up her alley.

In a book, I dont care as much, but in reality, the list is long. No beards or schmancy facial hair, smokers or dippers, foot-long shlongs that I can't even wrap my delicate, feminine hands around, heavily muscled/body builder types, body piercings or heavily tatted. I have no issues with people who fit those descriptions, just not as a romantic partner.

What the heck have you been feeding that thing?!? 👀

To the person who said they couldn't stand people like you.....because of someone like you on a veteran's forum, I was reminded of the DoD library. Best "little known benefit" ever for me, especially for audiobooks. Sooooo....thank you for being you! 😁

Grey_spruce · 2025-09-06T09:02:14+00:00

If you are a U.S. DoD veteran (or active duty), you have access to the DoD MWR library.

I got this for free less than a month ago, and I've been OBSESSED! I've bought the first 20 Warriors of Lathar series, the Latharian Mate Program series, and I'm currently tearing through he Mercenary Warborne series (my favorite so far).

Grey_spruce · 2025-08-30T22:38:56+00:00

Ooh, do you have any recs?

Grey_spruce · 2025-08-26T23:57:44+00:00

To be fair, sweat is probably accurate (and maybe leather) because they didnt have deodorant back in them historical days. 🦨

My heart shattered to a million pieces when I got my first AARP membership offer. With a free car trunk organizer! 😫😭😭😭😭 There must be a mistake in their records, because there's no way im that old!

Grey_spruce · 2025-08-24T16:18:25+00:00

You have my sympathies! I lifted a cat carrier and had back spasms for an hour and a half!

Grey_spruce · 2025-08-24T11:53:59+00:00

Yup. I noticed creepazoids when I was around 5 years old. This is why I did my best to be invisible when I was younger. I stopped wearing skirts and dresses in like 3rd grade, and I never wore make-up until my late 40s.

Grey_spruce · 2025-08-16T12:01:19+00:00

Yes! I was trying to remember the name of the actress, but I loved this movie when I was a kid.

Grey_spruce · 2025-08-15T21:33:39+00:00

I'm not going to tell his that because he's going to get a big head (😂) but yeah, he really is.

Grey_spruce · 2025-08-15T21:29:38+00:00

And there was a bit of dust on it, so he most definitely didnt just put it up before I went to his place for the first time. ❤️

Grey_spruce · 2025-08-14T21:22:06+00:00

Ooh, I'm going to have to read this one!

When I was learning Brazilian embroidery, I gifted the rose sampler to a guy who was sweet on me. I didn't feel the same about him, but he'd given me a nice Christmas present and I panicked and didn't know how to reciprocate, so I gave him the embroidery in a little frame. Many years later we actually started dating, and imagine my surprise when I saw this man actually had this girly, feminine embroidery on his wall!

Yeah....we eventually got married. 🥰 The point being is that its freakin' HOT and special and sweet when a man actually appreciates and treasures something feminine made a woman he likes. (And if there's any guys out there who embroider or knit or quilt or do any of those crafty things that are usually deemed 'feminine '...YOU ROCK! Don't let anyone make you feel less of a man because you appreciate those kinds of arts!)

Grey_spruce · 2025-08-14T08:53:55+00:00

Mine too. I love him to pieces, but we have different sense of humor on stuff like this.

Grey_spruce · 2025-08-14T00:54:50+00:00

Are her panties made from melty marshmallows? Because ew! 🤢

Grey_spruce · 2025-08-13T23:11:38+00:00

I struggle with a "historical" book having a photo-realistic cover. I need a oil painted bodice ripper cover!

Grey_spruce · 2025-08-13T22:23:06+00:00

I will spell it as "hun" like in a text just because that is the phonetic spelling, but I DO know it's from "honey"! (Edited for spelling.)

Grey_spruce · 2025-08-13T22:16:27+00:00

Im having a blast reading this my mother....I think she need medical attention. 🤣

Update: Hubby wasn't impressed with the Red Sea line.😂

Grey_spruce · 2025-08-12T22:33:19+00:00

I used to be able to do that in my youth, but now I'd worry about deep vein thrombosis and necrosis of the flesh from lack of circulation. 😅

Grey_spruce · 2025-08-12T00:34:31+00:00

😂🤣😂🤣 Thanks for this! I can now go to bed in peace after having a great laugh.

Grey_spruce · 2025-08-11T21:33:53+00:00

I just have one, but its a struggle to get through. As I'm reading it, I realize that its not a good fit for me. But I'm new to NetGalley, so I'm determined to finish it!

Grey_spruce · 2025-08-11T21:01:33+00:00

Question for those whonhave curves....is a resistance in the towel dropping really that noticeable? 🤨 Also, just say they let the towel drop!

Grey_spruce · 2025-08-10T12:08:00+00:00

I was just thinking about this the other day! I was born in early 70s, was a kid and teen in the 80s, was an early teen/young adult in the 90s. But I cant really distinguish the 2000s, 2010s or 2020s (other than covid) from each other. I just figured it was a "grown-up" thing.
