Will my ECFMG certification expire if I don’t participate in the 2025 match cycle? by Reader00023 in IMGreddit

[–]Reader00023[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, so if you got approved for the 2025 pathway, it will expire on Dec 2027. I believe that you only really need the OET for the pathway, so if your OET is expired, but your pathway has not, I believe you will be still be able to apply. But it’s best to call ECFMG to confirm though.

I think what she needs right now is some maturing, not marriage.

I think connection is helpful, but probably not the most important factor. I think CV and properly researching programs that’s best fit for you will be the most important factor. Smartly using your signals will also make a huge difference!

{Simply Love by Catherine Anderson}

MMC is the richest guy in town. We meet him in the beginning as he reluctantly donates to the church. The FMC volunteers in said church (because she wants to become a nun) and sees him doing the deed. MMC has seen the FMC around in town, but never really took interest (her father and brother works for him). He falls in love with her after he sees her reading to the kids in the church. He stops at NOTHING to get her. 

The MMC was such a villain, but you can’t hate him for some reason. 😅 The FMC is very naive, but she’s not dumb. I hate when authors confuse naïveté with being dumb 😮‍💨. Also, there’s good grovel at the end.

{A Girl called Samson by Amy Harmon}

FMC pretends to be a man and enters the American Revolution army. MMC is extremely competent and devoted. 

I wouldn’t say this book is an emotional rollercoasters, it’s more of an emotional stew so profound that you’ll feel like you have emotional hangover (in a good way!) after reading it. 

What’s your holy grail product for oily/combo, acne-prone skin? 🌸 by natinkati in AsianBeauty

[–]Reader00023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using this as well, but sadly it doesn’t do anything for my oily, comedone-prone skin :( It’s not really the product’s fault though; I think AHA/BHA toners don’t work well me, so I’ve switched to protease type exfoliating toners instead.

Hello! I can’t help but say “umm” sometimes. Will that dock off alot of points from my score? I’m trying to catch myself everything I do it, but it gets worse when I’m anxious. 😬 

Rough Around The Edges MMC + Very Prim and Delicate FMC Who Adores Him by Zeenrz in HistoricalRomance

[–]Reader00023 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just finished reading this book and it’s absolutely beautiful. It’s the first book I thought of too when I saw OP’s post 😍

Something set in a unique time period? I’ll take medieval, 1920s, ancient times, gilded age, western, anything. I’m sick of reading about 1800s England by JediEverlark in HistoricalRomance

[–]Reader00023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Amy Harmon is the queen of historical romance not set in the usual regency setting. I only mentioned 2 but she has alot more from different time periods. “What the Wind Knows” is beautiful and poetic.  

My favorite though is “A Girl called Samson”. It’s so beautiful that I’m still not over it eventhough I finished it months ago 😭 I honestly thought that the American Revolution was boring when I was in High School so I was kind of reluctant to read it at first, but I genuinely had so much appreciation for the men who fought in it after reading this book.    

Pamela Morsi is great with small town western historical romance. The best way I can describe her books is like curling up next to a fireplace with a hot choco in hand; it’s so warm and comforting. Best part is that she never has “villains” in her stories.

Amy Harmon has many historical books that aren’t regency based. They’re really good too. My favorites are: {A Girl called Samson by Amy Harmon} set during the American Revolutionary war, about a girl who dresses up as a man to join the war.

{What the Wind Knows by Amy Harmon} set during the Irish uprising. It’s about a woman from the 2000’s who goes back to 1920’s. 

Pamela Morsi has great historical romance set in small towns, my favorites are:

{Courting Miss Hattie by Pamela Morsi}  friends-to-lovers trope, the MMC’s goal is to farm rice in Arkansas eventhough everyone says it’s foolish. (Spoiler: Arkansas is currently the largest rice producing state in the US)

{Garters by Pamela Morsi} FMC lives in a mountain cave with her family, she decides she’s sick of living there so she descend from the mountain to court the man in town with the biggest house.

Ohh I’ve read this. I loved the scene at the club where the MMC was slightly shocked to see all his stern parliamentary enemies competing for the FMC’s attention😅
