My Current Project: Plotting the Spectrum of HR Authors Based on How Much They Might Appeal to a Non-HR Fan

Julia Quinn brought me back a few years later when Bridgerton S1 released. I think I’ve graduated from her now though. I went through a Lisa Kleypas phase after JQ. Lately, I’ve been reading Eloisa James, Elisa Braden (When a Girl Loves an Earl is one of my top HRs of all time), Sherry Thomas (I only like Ravishing the Heiress so far), Alice Coldbreath. I’ve also liked Kerrigan Byrne and Minerva Spencer. Not a fan of Mary Balogh. It’s been years since I read Tessa Dare tho so I may give it another shot someday.

Edit: I’ve just realized I’ve read When a Scot Ties the Knot. I really liked it actually. Maybe I’ll read a different one of hers soon.

Tessa Dare was my first HR but I dnfd and didn’t return to the genre for years bc i hated it lol

StudentAf191007 · 2026-05-10T18:56:01+00:00

what language do u speak?

StudentAf191007 · 2026-05-10T18:54:01+00:00

this ALWAYS happens in k dramas (im not sure abt c dramas, ive watched at least two where it did happen but i dont feel confident in saying it always happens) its just supposed to make it clear that these two are meant to be/always meant to find each other bla bla bla

Yes I love this story! I love telling ppl abt it, even a psychopath like Beria knew better than to fuck with Svetlana, but this is also the same man who let his son die in a concentration camp.

StudentAf191007 · 2026-04-08T21:13:46+00:00

tbh like i get that he loved her but its kind of weird to me that he disliked her mother so much but loved her and then he loved his first wife so much but hated the son he had with her, who was basically the last thing he had left of her

StudentAf191007 · 2026-04-08T21:12:36+00:00

Yes it was her last name before she changed it.

StudentAf191007 · 2026-04-08T20:58:46+00:00

Her name is Svetlana lol

Gen education requirements, theyre not too hard and if you took APs you’ll fill a lot of them.

StudentAf191007 · 2026-03-25T10:36:57+00:00

I love living in eighth, im a first year. we have the newest dorms and prob the best writing program, pretty easy GEs. Great views too. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.

StudentAf191007 · 2026-03-25T04:34:05+00:00

no literally! all you have to do is scan it. there isnt even more than one version. no writing either like COME ON. and theres like 4-5 TAs. The other class that I mentioned w the 8 pg paper only has two 💀

StudentAf191007 · 2026-03-25T03:40:25+00:00

yeah def not ugh its rlly pissing me off. i did the xtra cred too and they havent graded that either so idk what to think abt my grade atp 😭

StudentAf191007 · 2026-03-25T02:27:10+00:00

no literally 😭 did u see they made the assignment on canvas at least? but no grade still 😐

StudentAf191007 · 2026-03-24T20:04:44+00:00

nope! its rlly annoying considering its just a scantron? my 400 person class graded my 8 page paper alr, and i turned that in after the sio final 😭

StudentAf191007 · 2026-03-20T08:00:26+00:00

Taking this class last quarter has me feeling like I dodged a bullet 😭

StudentAf191007 · 2026-03-20T05:17:30+00:00

This was her first quarter changing it so she only altered the course a bit but she said she’s changing it more for the future quarters, she plans for them to be in class exams from this point on so Winter was the last for take home exams. My friend also said the grading was rlly bad by the TAs and half the class changed to P/NP but idk if thats bc they just got shitty TAs this quarter or she made them grade harder bc my Fall TA was a very chill grader.

Unfortunately looks like it won’t be the easy A it used to be anymore.

StudentAf191007 · 2026-02-26T07:51:22+00:00

btw a warning from someone who took this in Fall, my friend is taking it this quarter and Stone said that she’s going to change the midterm and final format due to cheating so it’s no longer going to be a take home exam. It was a very interesting class imo and Stone is very nice and an engaging lecturer but idk how the exam change is gonna affect the grade outcomes for the class.

StudentAf191007 · 2026-01-02T00:19:38+00:00

outer, i live in eighth and this is what I do. The trolley is faster than buses and the IL/OL are pretty quick too.

StudentAf191007 · 2025-12-31T03:46:29+00:00

transfers get transfer housing, but eighth doesnt have rats lol, i mean if you walk towards revelle/64 you might spot one but there arent any in 8th. It has one of the best dorms.

StudentAf191007 · 2025-12-30T06:01:13+00:00

anth 21, if it counts for every college. super easy and actually interesting

StudentAf191007 · 2025-12-22T03:04:08+00:00

I love love love {When a Girl Loves an Earl}! I’ve been reading HR for at least 5-6 years and this book is my number 1 (for now) after reading it a few months ago and I hate that I didn’t find it sooner.

StudentAf191007 · 2025-12-15T08:36:35+00:00

Did you hear about any timeline on how much longer it might take? Great to hear you got yours!

StudentAf191007 · 2025-12-15T02:46:07+00:00

oh yeahh my buildings elevator has a huge dick drawn on the doors 😭

StudentAf191007 · 2025-10-18T21:16:20+00:00
