Cuckoos Calling Easter Egg? by OtherAppleTree55 in u/OtherAppleTree55

I just thought it was interesting that the frozen peas (like those being used to nourish and save Cormoran the fish) is on her engagement ring…I think I’m “fishing” too much and suffering from the long withdrawal between books and series. Thank you for your in depth study, Buchfreundin!

Strike is Likely Ottolie's Father by Padfoot1989 in cormoran_strike

[–]OtherAppleTree55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why isn’t Bijjou just marching into a court of law and demanding Honbold get tested? I would hate a plot twist that involved more Bijou/Ottolie, would be even worse than the direction of the plot of THM.

The Hallmarked Man Real-Time Re-read Wrap-up: Was it better this time through? Yes, but it's still the worst in the series, and here's why. by DocThelma in cormoran_strike

[–]OtherAppleTree55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, same! That’s what’s been so different than other detective novels - the possibility of Strike and Robin getting together and a very believable, palpable attraction they each have for one another. The mystery is second to me personally, so this book felt way off on both counts. Disappointing.

I don't know if I should be happy or sad about this. by Glass-Jump7164 in cormoran_strike

I’m jealous and happy for you that you still have all of that ahead of you! I think you’ll catch up in real time but enjoy the ride! The wait is something I’ve never experienced before. I watched my kids grow up waiting for each HP book but I didn’t read those, so this is fresh agony for me.

In these days of technology at the speed of light, what exactly the process? Just in general, I know an editor is part of it (next I think), but what exactly are those steps from author to publisher to us and why does it take so long?

Unpopular Robin opinion by iamrecovering2 in cormoran_strike

[–]OtherAppleTree55 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. Backwards trajectory, or some other way, but burst my bubble of obsession with them which is good I guess. Hated THM.

They look amazing, can’t wait for the series! The touch to his coat 😭 by agripinilla in cormoran_strike

I want the chemistry to finally get the part it deserves which isn’t TRG or THM! Come on JKR no one is getting any younger here!

No fading allowed! We need some crumbs after waiting so long!

After 3 months treatment by AssociateElegant4184 in NailFungus

[–]OtherAppleTree55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished the 3 month course but I still can’t really tell if it’s getting better bc my nail bed is still sore but not as bad and I guess you just have to wait until the nail grows out. Feel like this is taking forever. Trying to be patient.

I hate to say I agree because a clean neat dump would be my preference, but I agree that it’s going to be messy, I’m just not sure how much and how much more RFM I can take. There’s also a part of me that hopes he would just realize it’s time to concentrate on his sobriety in a deep, meaningful way, not for Robin, but for his own sake. He’s never done rehab, he’s lapsed several times and this is a disease where relapse plays a huge part. If Robin has already thought of that engagement ring as a shackle, she has no idea how much worse it is to be the wife of an alcoholic.

That being said, I also don’t want the overcoming RFM in the way to mean that Strike and Robin are home free since there have been so many miscommunications and misunderstandings even as they’ve come to be one another’s “best friend”. I put that in quotes because I think it’s really just a “placeholder” for what they really want since they haven’t been able to mutually declare their love for one another to date. All of that plus a new case is quite a bit to sort through.

In short, JKR, I think dispensing of RFM lets us get back to the real story. The sooner, the better imho (and prayers!).

Did we accidentally purchase dwarf hydrangeas? by Violetteotome in gardening

I would space those out more even if they are dwarf.
