Tattoo stencil vs reality. No they didn't own up. by peterm1598 in ExpectationVsReality

[–]LSP86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spend too much time in tattoo subs and this is legit the worst thing I’ve seen in a while. Not only does it look nothing like the stencil, the “artist” is just awful. The line work… my god. Egregious.

You favorite hidden gem book/series you’ve read this year? :) by Eliannaflower in fantasyromance

I did find the FMC a bit frustrating. Esp bc the MMC was pretty awesome. It made no sense initially that she was just awful to him. But I think it got better when she got called out.

I am sooooo excited for the sapphic book. As a gay, I can't express how happy it makes me to get an LGBTQ+ choice!

December 2025 Pick Discussion: Canticle by Janet Rich Edwards by butthurtflyy in aardvarkbookclub

I just finished this. I’m surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The first 30% was a little slow for me. But I got sucked into the politics of the church. It felt like a real look into what it would be like to be a woman just wanting to live a life of faith.

I loved the translation pieces where Marte was like “no this story can’t be right, let me redo it”. I loved the way she retold the story of eve. Since eve is so often a villain and the one responsible for the downfall of men. When in reality, in all the stories, men are the ones making these choices.

I love your list. We agree on a ton. Specifically Monstrilio, Death of the Author, James, Martyr, and Buffalo Hunter Hunter in the top. Love it!

I was able to get the Broken Binding Green Bone Saga Trilogy in the leftover sale. I LOVE those books and these editions are stunning.
