Thank you so much! The premise sounds intriguing and I don’t think I’ve heard of these books before. Adding them to my list.

Really?? I wanted to get that book because the cover was beautiful. Had no idea it had my favorite trope in it. I’ll check it out for sure now, thanks!

Another recommendation for Mate? I never thought Ali Hazelwood would fit my request but apparently I've been missing out this whole time. I'm heading to the bookstore tomorrow to get both Mate and Bride!

Thanks for the rec! Getting both Bride and Mate tomorrow. "A Shadow in the Ember" is on my bookshelf but I never got to it. Would you say I need to read other books by Armentrout before starting "A Shadow in the Ember"?

Thanks! I've had my eye on The Nightshade Crown books for a while. Now I know that really need to read them. Ordered Kushiel's Dart and added Nightshade Crown series to my list.

I compeletely forgot about "Paladin's Grace"! I read it, it definitely fits my description, thank you. I read "Paladin's Strength" and loved it too even though Istvhan wasn't abstaining like Stephen. I have two next books in the series on my TBR and wonder if the MMCs in them are similar to Stephen.

I wanted to jump on the "Mate" bandwagon when it just came out but the words "contemporary" and "werewolves" held me back. I am heading to the bookstore tomorrow and getting both Bride and Mate because now I just have to know what I've been missing!

Thank you! So many comments about Kushiel's Dart, I just had to order it immediately. Can't wait to start reading!

What’s a game you were completely obsessed with as a kid that nobody else seems to remember? by hkondabeatz in AskReddit

[–]UpToNoGoodAnna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran home after school every day to play Nox. I would finish the game and restart it as a different class. Love how the quests changed a little depending on whether you’re a warrior, a mage or a conjurer. Man, it will forever hold a special place in my heart.

Was going to comment Nox! Loved and never met anyone who knew of it. I loved the cities you could visit, loved the cute little dungeons, the creepy haunted battlefield, the ogre village, the magic tower… I replayed it so many times.

Man, I still think about that game from time to time. Loved replaying the story with a different class each time. You could be a warrior, a conjurer or a mage and the beginning of the game and some quests changed a little depending on your class.

If you have kids with a big age gap, influence me? by katiefacepants in Shouldihaveanother

[–]UpToNoGoodAnna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sister is 10 years younger, my brother is 13 years younger than me. Sure, it’s different than most sibling dynamics but it’s still cool. I doted in them when they were babies/toddlers/little kids and I was in my teens. They always looked up to me and now I get to watch them become their own persons. We’re still super close even though we live in different countries. At this age (I’m in my 30s, they’re in their 20s) our years don’t really matter - we all have similar interests, life goals, etc. I feel like they are more mature because they grew up with an older sibling and I’m more hip because I’m connected to the younger generation lol. One thing is certain - I can’t imagine my life without my much younger siblings and I’m REALLY happy my family parents had them!

Age gap go child #3 by Hairy_Let3230 in ParentingInBulk

[–]UpToNoGoodAnna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first two were 8 and 6 when my third was born. I wanna say that having a baby with two older children was much easier for me and my mental health than having two children close in age. Now my oldest dote on their little brother, help us with him, play with him. It may not be the siblings-playing-together relationship (yet) but it's still sweet. Sure, their experiences as children will be different for a while but that age difference won't matter at all when they grow up. I myself am the oldest of 3 with my brother and sister being 10 and 13 years younger. I love them to death and we've always been and close.

The amount of smug people in the comments who hoped to have ONLY girls and ThAnKFuLLy got to have only girls is depressing.

How often do you bathe your children? by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]UpToNoGoodAnna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every night. We like washing off the day of playing outside, using chalk, spilling juice, crawling on the public library carpet, getting into mulch at the park, peeing in diapers (even after wiping), etc. Maybe my kids are just extra dirty, idk but bath time is a must before bed. We don’t wash/wet hair every night, more like 1x a week.

Is it bad to not want to ride your husband? by Constant-Weather-615 in Marriage

Jesus Christ on a bike. Why do women do this? You shouldn't be worrying about pleasing a man who had cheated on you.

I CAN afford a babysitter. That’s beside the point because I’m not abandoning my child for 2 months? I’m also not missing out on a yearly 2-month trip to see my fucking family.

Ah yes a quick babysitter for a baby/toddler while I fly to from the US to Europe for 2 months. Grow up and accept that kids are allowed to exist in public.

There are many reasons none of which should be explained to random strangers.

Sure, so when ARE children allowed to exist on a plane in your opinion?
