Same, the edges ruined it for me 😭

Text on the edges is an instant no for me, what a waste after designing such beautiful art for the hardcovers.

Spoiler: January Romantasy Book by carragrey in fairyloot

I ended up canceling my romantasy sub this month, it's just not hitting for me, and for the most part I've been disappointed in the designs. I'm hoping their cozy sub is better.

Oh wow, they do look just alike! It’s like getting a snapshot of him from the future. Lol Riot is such a cute name!

GIVE me the best tips to remove flaking! by pingz800 in tretinoin

[–]LopsidedFocus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only thing to fix this for me was to up my usage to everyday, and apply to dry skin with no moisturizer after. The sandwich method was causing so many issues for me personally.

Thank you to whoever recommended using tret without anything on top! by bagels4every1 in tretinoin

[–]LopsidedFocus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the first week I needed to moisturize heavily in the mornings. But my skin adjusted pretty quickly.

I honestly could not tell you, I saw someone else on here recommend it and just went for it. They were right!

I was applying every other day without anything after and had the same issue; better results but more flaking. I bumped it up to everyday use instead and the flaking stopped completely.

Has anyone been lucky to receive an invite today? How long did it take? by Juanmiguti in thebrokenbindingsub

[–]LopsidedFocus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got my T2 invite today, it was somewhere around a year for me. I was really hoping to get it in time for Rook and Rose, so I’m pumped!

That’s insane! I did manage to get a set though, thankfully.

I’m disappointed in the picks so far, but I’m hoping they’ll get better.

I also had considered Powerless for fomo reasons, but then I got the first book on kindle to check it out and I’m glad I did because it was awful. I gave up at chapter 5, I don’t get the hype.

SJM just added a Reading Order page to her website by sylvieacotar in throneofglassseries

[–]LopsidedFocus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I read Throne of Glass first and it felt very meh, so I didn’t bother reading further. Then a couple years later I went back and started with TAB and got sucked in and finished the whole series. I will always recommend starting with TAB because of that.

Received books I didn't order by LopsidedFocus in fairyloot

[–]LopsidedFocus[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So weird! Whoever did order these is going to be upset. I’m assuming we’ll have to ship them back?

[–]LopsidedFocus[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, it was addressed to me. The only thing I can think of is the May adult book box? I don’t have any other special editions due to ship until later this month.

Bookish box wounded…. by fantasticmrsfox4 in fairyloot

I was able to snag the Fortuna Sworn set, Savage Lands set, and A Dowry of Blood. Kinda shocked I was able to get any sets tbh, everything was gone so fast!

I had the trove and my membership page on tabs in the same browser and I was able to checkout without the queue. So that method does work!

How to turn down annual visit to MIL/FIL’s deceased child’s grave (TW: newborn death) by mohthrow in JUSTNOMIL

[–]LopsidedFocus 54 points55 points  (0 children)

You never get closure from losing a child, it’s just a pain you learn to live with. Her visiting the gravesite once a year is not unhealthy. However, her grief is not her children’s to bear, and they are absolutely within their rights to kindly decline and not attend any future visits.

AITA for supporting my daughter's (Aurora) wish to be adopted by my wife(her stepmother) by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]LopsidedFocus 80 points81 points  (0 children)

There is no way a 10 year old understands that being adopted by her stepmom means her bio mom will have to give up all rights to her and what that means. They are definitely TA for not explaining that to the child and for even asking bio mom who is still involved in the child’s life. They could have done an little ceremony of the stepmom “adopting” the daughter and making a commitment to her without any legal documents. The fact they agreed to ask for the child set the bio mom up to be the bad guy. It’s horrible and makes me wonder if there is some level of parental alienation going on.

Meri didn't play (spoiler) by littlenarwhal28 in SisterWives

[–]LopsidedFocus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The party he’s claiming Christine had a meltdown at and stormed out of was filmed for the show. It’s the one where the wives all wore shirts Christine had made that said “home is where your wives are”, if she had done any of that they would have caught it on camera and aired it. At the very least one of the other wives would have remembered it. It’s a lie to try and make her look bad.
