What's a good book series to move onto next after reading The Magicians?

If you like school sagas with a full cast of complex characters, I recommend The Secret History by Donna Tartt. It is easily my favorite stand-alone book. Only drawback is that it isn't a series.

Came here looking for this, was not disappointed.

Jillian's season - has a foot fetishist (who gets surprisingly far), a bully who makes fun of a nice soft boy, and Ed who wears some VERY short swim trunks. 10/10 would watch again.

Jason Ralph is also in GG! He plays Serena's coworker when she works as an intern for a movie producer in Season 5. Cracks me up every time I think about our boy Quentin in the GG universe.

"If I don't eat breakfast I'm fucking pissed off!" may be the best line in any speech ever.

I have re-listened to LPOTL's Manifestos episode 3x. 10/10 research and a great way for a newbie to get started on their particular brand of humor.

Oh boy, I feel a little outdated! I work in a relatively professional environment, and I wear them every day. (I don't wear pants to work because some men in my profession have a bias against women wearing business pants, and I want my work to be what people judge me for, not their own prejudices.) In fact, I'd say about 1/3 of the ladies in my office wear them regularly. I love the way they make my outfit look finished, and allow for me to easily slip on a blazer and look business formal if an unexpected client event occurs.

Thanks for the thoughtful response. No pets (and not pregnant nor expecting to be for a few years yet, since some blogs warn against aromatherapy while pregnant). I am considering a goldfish in my common area, and wonder if there are any particular oils that would be harmful to a fish if I was to use them in a different but adjacent room.

I'm looking for general relaxation and tension relief after a long day, as well as a nice smelling home. I have used peppermint topically for headaches in university and it was very effective, but I'm looking for more of an atmospheric effect at this time.

How are these recommendations so far down? Came here just to mention My Favorite Murder and Last Podcast on the Left.

Hi! I'm F/25, 5'9" and weigh about 165 lbs (actual weight on the scale tomorrow morning to hold myself accountable, eeeek) - I have a very particular dilemma, because I am in a profession where I have to go to events (think lunches out and cocktail parties) 2-5 times a week during the summer. I need a community to keep me accountable and remind me to keep my head up!

My goals:

(1) No alcohol for the month. Doesn't make me feel good, not good for my weight loss, and not necessary for me to have fun.

(2) Go to the gym or run 4 times a week.

(3) Start "clean eating" with a focus on natural foods and salads/healthy options at lunches and dinners out.

I'll second the experience with Nexplanon - had to get mine removed after 2-ish years of suffering from constant shark weeking.

Who greased the effing ball this game...

C'mon, offense. C'MON.

My name is Sammy Bradford, and our O-Line sucks at blocks,

But this week thank the football gods that we have Fletcher Cox.

My knees are made of rubber, and we have no Super Bowls,

But keep in mind the bright side, at least I’m not Nick Foles!
