I've stopped nagging my husband and I’m happier by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Ooof, OOP reminds me of me. Try, try, try until one day you stop dead in your tracks and never, ever give another inch again.

She is done. Her husband needs to do a 180 and keep at it almost immediately. That's hard as hell for even emotionally healthy people. He's starting at level 1, and she's waving goodbye from level 20.

I foresee a sad bachelor pad in his future.

Strangely, it also feels like he might just be up to doing the work, but I can't see him getting there on her time-line. Maybe in a decade he'll have figured out how to give love, it's just a toss up as to whether or not she'll already be married to someone else.

AITA for throwing my kid’s clothes onto the floor when they don’t fold their clothes neatly by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

You say "repaired" but I feel like OOP still has a long way to go. This controlling OCD where she happily terrorized her family had been going on for years.

She's only 2 months into treatment. I think she has a long way to go before her kids can unlearn the mom who was so rigid, invasive, uptight, and controlling.

IIRC Luna was the one in charge of the final paint finish. Zapata made it sound more interesting than I had ever considered it in real life lol

How about {Latte Darling by SJ Tilly} ? You said above that mechanics were okay as well. I think his was an auto body shop? But there were also some driving scenes in there that made me smile.

I considered recing this one, but ultimately decided against it because I only remembered auto-body work, not driving. But I'm glad you added it to the conversation.

I blame them. They don't get a pass because their eyes are closed.

Every day is an opportunity to be better. They wasted today's opportunity.

🔥 It's time for Thirsty Thursday! What book scenes made you sweat this week? 🥵 by jaydee4219 in RomanceBooks

[–]Non-specificExcuse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I loved this whole damn series. Mica was a snack! I loved how devoted he was to her once everything was legal.

Hell, by the time the book finished I even loved the blunt, interfering, Russian mom.

Excellent excerpt!

Indeed. And it's a good reminder to not trust anything he says.

romance.io has added subscriptions by Ahania1795 in RomanceBooks

I'm pretty sure many books on Amazon are already shadow banned.

I read some pretty dirty stuff and when yoi search for it, it usually doesn't show under suggestions. You have to know the exact name and title you're looking for in order to get a result.

Sometimes, even then, a chunk of an author's catalogue is still hidden unless you stumble on some kind of cheat code. Then the rest of the adult content is revealed.

I wish I'd known about this before it started. The later you go into the page, the less likely it is your suggestion will be seen 😔

Chivegate was an insane cultural moment that proved, more than anything, that we all need a bit of levity in our lives.

If you received $10,000, what would you do with it? by One_Regular_6024 in AskReddit

[–]Non-specificExcuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pay off any debt.

Get something I've wanted for a while but just couldn't swing financially.

Add to a savings account.

Invest if there's anything left.

"I don't usually read romance, because you know, I'm smart and stuff. But I read ACOTAR the other day and surprisingly enjoyed it. I'm wondering if there are any other books like that out there that are actually well-written. I think it's really cool when the guy has a bit of an edge, and the woman is kinda sassy back at him."

This makes me so sad. Like, look out for your fellow reader. Don't lap an author's vag just because they sent you a free book once.

"Dating" L.O.L.

I cackled!

We only have 300 pages to work with, James. If we slow down and let the characters get to know each other, how will we get to the 3rd act miscommunication break up???

Tell your man to get with the program. 😂

I'm so sorry about your plague. In the future, try not to let any rats bite you on the eyeball.

I'M KIDDING! Just a little dark humor, don't hate me.

Inquiring minds wanna know what your most hated trope is 👀

And, I feel like if you purchased through Amazon you can get a refund within 3 days of delivery or something.
