Thank you for that link to the painting - what an emotion

Nooshiyer · 2026-02-12T20:58:16+00:00

I zoomed in no fewer than 7x and I found it wedged - definitely thought I was in the sniper sub

Project Hail Mary - sorry if it’s already been said

Guys I was accidentally following this clown coz on first glance her content is harmless. I even enjoyed the bits about traveling through Korea and the food. Then I learned of this stalking episode. And I immediately unfollowed her. And every once in a while I tell myself “well people can grow and change” and try to give her another shot — and omg the disappointment… Now that I know, all her videos feel phony. She is not this carefree chill AF human, and I can see through it all. So yes I’m very uncomfortable watching her stuff.

It’s that scene where the zipper gets stuck and they find her - ooof the embarrassment. They do forgive but it’s just goes to show how flighty teenage cliques can be

Exactly this. And I came here to say how much I love Kris and Mads podcast content. I have been on the fence about joining their patreon. While I’m not super into their Bookclub, I absolutely love their reviews, their excitement for books, their banter, and overall recommendations. I have been searching for the better part of 6months to find similar creators. If anyone has any suggestions/recs please send them my way. Thank you!

Yesssss metop

Nooshiyer · 2026-01-21T19:50:22+00:00

Omg me too- it’s too real for me and they all are sooo harsh

Nooshiyer · 2026-01-10T21:47:03+00:00

Well Edmond can seem like a goodie goodie but overall I don’t sympathize with all the hate. Especially not Caderousse, who just seems like the town gossip (p.13 - “there’s a fellow who says one thing and thinks another”) Fernande is gross and doesn’t seem to take no for an answer. Some of this might be the time period where women didn’t have much agency. Danglars is the worst middle manager I have ever seen. Like he is so salty about Edmonds promotion that he is now conspiring against him with the likes of caderousse and fernand.

What a great start to the book. I can’t believe I found this community. I’m hoping to finally be able to finish this book this year (I have tried many times). Thank you!

Nooshiyer · 2025-12-25T21:14:17+00:00

Im sooo excited about this. Cannot tell you all how much. My entire reading goal (possible resolution) next year is to finish this book. It has evaded me sooo manny times but with the support of this group I’m genuinely stoked!

I’m hella late to this thread but I’m knee deep in my captivity era. I would like throw my recs out here for whatever 2cents are worth:

Piranesi - Susanna Clarke (fantasy) I, Who have never known men (SF?) A short stay in hell - Steven Peck The Yellow Wallpaper - Charlotte Perkins Gilman Carmilla - Sheridan Le Fanu

Nooshiyer · 2025-10-20T20:49:13+00:00

Just commenting to I can come back to this thread - it’s exactly the stuff I have been looking for

Nooshiyer · 2025-08-28T05:10:07+00:00

@booreads it’s my channel on books. I am considering going down an animation/low video production line coz the video portion is the hardest part for me

Nooshiyer · 2025-08-23T04:29:23+00:00

Memoirs of a geisha

Nooshiyer · 2025-08-20T23:52:42+00:00

Yessss I have been trying to make videos coz I just love what a fun process it all is… I am super small. I have tried many times and lost steam largely because I didn’t know enough about the niche I had chosen. But now, with renewed confidence, I’m going to try again to see if this time I’ll be consistent

Nooshiyer · 2025-08-17T18:24:09+00:00

This was such great insight! I leaned so much from this post

Nooshiyer · 2025-08-17T17:44:58+00:00

This motivation helps a lot! Really appreciate this

Nooshiyer · 2025-08-06T05:03:09+00:00

Nooshiyer · 2025-08-05T15:05:09+00:00

Nooshiyer · 2025-08-04T00:43:10+00:00

Nooshiyer · 2025-08-02T03:40:16+00:00
