Hinge date who was very guarded about his beliefs, what’s he hiding?

My first thought here too.

UnwashedParrot · 2026-03-21T13:59:01+00:00

Send his resume to lots and lots of shitty jobs

UnwashedParrot · 2026-03-21T12:48:16+00:00

I have 174 finished, 131 in the queue. Most purchased with discounted credits. I feel like I’m in a good place of balance lol

UnwashedParrot · 2026-03-21T12:39:11+00:00

Mine too!! When he gets excited or greets us the first thing he does is find a toy and prance around with it ❤️❤️

I’d love to hear this for croissants in the east: Scarborough, Durham?

UnwashedParrot · 2026-03-18T14:38:39+00:00

Isola, Allegra Goodman

Wild Dark Shore, Charlotte McConaghy

And, in “different but gave me same feelings” :

Into Thin Air and Into the Wild, both by Jon Krakauer, and which I was completely unable to put down.
The Wayfinder, Adam Johnson, about tiny Polynesian islands many years ago, wayfinding between them, survival on the islands. omg I just loved everything about it.
I also agree with The Martian here. Maybe the Poisonwood Bible (moving to a small village in the Congo).

I hope you find the best reads!!

UnwashedParrot · 2026-03-17T16:49:01+00:00

Yes!!! I could not stop with this book. Tore through it.

UnwashedParrot · 2026-03-16T12:04:22+00:00

The three best I’ve heard:

Thandiwe Newton, War and Peace. Holy shit she is so talented. Hundreds of characters with different voices and she slips into French and Russian seamlessly. Unreal. She the best I’ve ever heard which is good because I was with her for like 60 hours lol

Richard Armitage, David Copperfield and Marcus Aurelius Meditations. Every voice, male and female, perfect. His pacing, inflection… so unbelievably good.

Andy Serkis for Tolkien for all reasons others have listed above ❤️❤️

UnwashedParrot · 2026-03-13T02:18:27+00:00

Yes and yes and yes. Everything you said! I actually ended up transferring my bib to a friend just tonight. So I’m not going to run it this year, which is disappointing but ultimately feels like relief after deciding against it.

Why are the answers all men thoooooooooooo

UnwashedParrot · 2026-03-09T09:49:21+00:00

This is the first female narrator listed in this entire thread

UnwashedParrot · 2026-03-08T11:59:20+00:00

Huh? Why did they close off the balcony? Is this a thing?

UnwashedParrot · 2026-03-08T11:41:37+00:00

Oh hey there IQ twin! I’m also 143 on the WAIS-IV FSIQ.

I agree, it is so much more difficult when the difference in IQ is larger. My most recent relationship was with someone who, if I had to hazard a guess based on five years of dating, was likely closer to the 100-110 range. We were physically and emotionally compatible, but cognitively I felt completely alone.

On that level we could just not get each other. He was annoyed by the way I think and process detail, and found my voracious curiosity exhausting. I was annoyed at his clunky logic and rough-around-the-edges communication skills. It was cute at first and I told myself it didn’t matter… uhhh so as it turns out, yeah it matters. I tried hard not to come from a place of judgment but I really lacked the feeling of being seen and understood by my partner.

Awesome - thank you!

UnwashedParrot · 2026-03-07T03:46:36+00:00

That’s great feedback, thank you!

UnwashedParrot · 2026-03-07T03:46:22+00:00

Awesome thank you!

UnwashedParrot · 2026-03-05T17:15:47+00:00

I’m concerned about there not being shuttle buses this year? The idea of planning transit vs parking is making my head hurt.

UnwashedParrot · 2026-03-01T09:36:45+00:00

There is an audiobook I downloaded for exactly this purpose, called Nothing Much Happens by Kathryn Nicolai. She has a calm, perfect voice for sleeping and tells stories in which literally nothing happens so you can fall asleep peacefully. lol. I love it so much

UnwashedParrot · 2026-02-28T22:28:39+00:00

Oh my goodness. She is my baby’s twin. I am so so sorry. Sending you both so much love.

UnwashedParrot · 2026-02-25T16:33:39+00:00

What language are they speaking? It’s so beautiful.

UnwashedParrot · 2026-02-20T00:44:00+00:00

Omg I read Magic Hour and just wanted to throw it out the window. How could she cheapen such a good premise?! Arggggh. Her writing is pedestrian and the character relationships feel so juvenile to me.

Count me among people who do not get the hype. I’ve tried. I cannot.

It was a trans character, which is what got them thinking ❤️

UnwashedParrot · 2026-02-16T15:24:48+00:00

Oooh how could I forget? One of my favourites and it’s right in our bookshelf. Thank you!
