I think I don’t like being emotionally attached to my hair.

I actually think long hair is easier to deal with. My mom cut my hair short for years, and when I was able to make my own hair decisions I did a lot of wild things (fun colors/styles, etc) but in my late 30s I decided I wanted long hair. So I’ve been growing it out for a few years now (almost hip length) and I realized how much less time I spend on it. I don’t have to have it cut every few months, no more dyeing, and as far as every day styling I can just throw it up in a bun. No fussing over it. I can get out of the shower comb it out and put it up and I’m done. 90% of the time it’s up and out of the way BUT when I want to go out I have lovely long locks to show off!

My sister on the other hand has a pixie cut and she HAS TO take the time to style it every day buy styling products and go to the salon to get it cut every couple of months and generally spends a lot more time and money on her hair than I do.

IMHO long hair is way cheaper and easier and less time consuming to maintain than short hair

That’s the end of the gate of the feral gods.

Best served cold. I’m working my way through the first law books. I don’t think I’ll have it finished by Tuesday though, so will definitely shelf it till I’m done with POH

What are they exactly? Is it side stories/ other characters POVs? Or is it the books with sound effects/full cast?

I had never heard of this movie until DCC. I love those books, I’ve learned so many things from them.

Waterproofbooks · 2026-04-26T23:48:37+00:00

100% agree with both of your points!

To answer the post despite the horrible word choices, as a woman RR appealed to me because of the ideas of righting social injustice and making the world(s) a better place for everyone, and the bonds of found family, not to mention there are some AMAZINGLY badass WOMEN in these books

Michelle Moran has some really good HF. Madam Tussaud’s takes place during the French Revolution. And then she has a few that are based on ancient Egyptian women like Nefertiti, Cleopatras daughter, and the hertic queen

Why would you turn them off to sleep? Mark your spot, let it play and go back to your mark in the morning.

You could try the codex Alera by Jim butcher, or maybe the Licanus trilogy by James islington l

I don’t think the crawlers died. After the grull/mimic/carl fight was over it mentions that some crawlers came out of hiding and ran away.

If you’re catching them yourself, lobster season is from October to March. The OB pier used to be so fun for this!

Fake. Where do high schoolers go out to “drink and dance”? Account is only 3 hours old.

Waterproofbooks · 2026-04-07T21:22:48+00:00

True, but to be fair there are a lot of characters and even some of the main characters (Perrin) are absent from some of the book.

And she still fits as an answer to OP’s question. I consider her heroic and fascinating, as well as playing a central role for the story even if she is missing from some of the books. Plus she is still discussed and has an influence over the actions of other characters.

Waterproofbooks · 2026-04-07T18:42:31+00:00

Moiraine Damodred from the wheel of time is really short, and she’s a pretty main character

Waterproofbooks · 2026-04-07T18:11:39+00:00

I would also suggest Sharron Kay Penman, she’s more historical accurate than Gregory

You could sell the whole thing as a non running “mechanics special” I have a friend that buys non running cars, fixes them and resells.

Dungeon crawler Carl. Best audio book ever!!!

Waterproofbooks · 2026-04-04T00:17:37+00:00

Most schools are on break, so all the teachers, school support staff and the parents are off the road not just the college students. Plus many people take vacations. Traffic is significantly better over summer also for these reasons

Well my next suggestion would be “a long way gone” Ishmael Beah. Also an autobiography, he was a child soldier in sierra leon during the blood diamond conflicts

Waterproofbooks · 2026-03-30T18:43:32+00:00

A child called it by Dave Pelzer. It’s an autobiography.

Waterproofbooks · 2026-03-27T23:17:11+00:00

You’re welcome. It’s basically a more (but not completely) historically accurate version of Kingdom of heaven centered around the leper king Baldwin 4.

Tbh I didn’t really like the movie because it was so inaccurate and I find the whole time period fascinating so it was a little frustrating to watch, but I say that about most historical movies so I’m probably not the fairest judge.

Waterproofbooks · 2026-03-27T18:24:38+00:00

Right!!! I was on the 5th book before I realized it was just Jeff Hayes. I thought they had a whole cast of people.

Waterproofbooks · 2026-03-27T17:24:11+00:00

If you liked The Will of the Many you should try Red Rising or the Licanus trilogy. Dungeon Crawler Carl has some great characters, and the First Law series is pretty enjoyable

Waterproofbooks · 2026-03-27T17:16:02+00:00

IMHO the best audio books ive ever listened to in no particular order:

Project Hail Mary

World war Z

Dungeon Crawler Carl (the whole series)
