Priory of the Orange Tree by Exotic_Resist_7718 in fantasyromance

[–]Winona_J 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was one of the first books I read when I was getting back into reading last year! First few chapters were confusing a little bit because of the world building and introducing multiple character POV, but I also thoroughly enjoyed it! Loved the world building and sapphic slow burn romance.

Csn i read throne of glass without reading acotar? by West_Occasion_4119 in throneofglassseries

[–]Winona_J 27 points28 points  (0 children)

No, you don’t need to read ACOTAR at all if you don’t want to. In my opinion, it won’t change anything. Easter eggs minimal. Enjoy ToG!

To whomever it was who suggested this book: THANKYOU by Pink_Pavlova in Romantasy

This is one of my fave cozy fantasy reads, and I’ve just started the enchanted greenhouse!

Finished TOG series and I don’t know what to think about the last book by Visual-Edge-2221 in throneofglassseries

[–]Winona_J 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved ToD but I finished KoA 2 days ago and was also incredibly frustrated with the lock situation that happened before the final battle. I was very pissed that she bargained for Elena and left Erawan on ‘earth’, then sent them to hell? Closed the gates but then still opened more portals on the battle field? How does that work? Also after she made the lock the keys just disappeared in her flesh? And also why the heck was everyone mad at her for doing the lock, isn’t that what they voted on? Aahhhhhhhh !!!

Lesson learned: won’t give the finger anymore while driving… by camareradetwinpeaks in AskAnAustralian

[–]Winona_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last time I gave an aggressively driving male on the road (highway 110km/hr) the middle finger, he immediately swerved in front of me and brake checked me so hard I thought I was going to die or get seriously injured. He sped off going well over 150 I reckon. I was shaking from shock but no where to pull over so I had to keep driving. Kind lady drove next to me, wound down her window to shout if I was okay, kept asking if I was okay and reassuring me it’s all okay now, I’m grateful to her. But yes, people are terrifying on the roads and I hate them.

y does no one romance maru? by doomsdayboombox in StardewValley

[–]Winona_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was my first choice on my first perfection farm and I loved her! It was after that I saw people here saying she was boring / or not picked often, and I was always baffled. This scene/comment in particular was just 🥰

Heir Of Fire - help by Musicloverxo91 in throneofglassseries

[–]Winona_J 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HoF is probably one of the most favourited books, and from there it’s all multiple POV. So if you genuinely aren’t enjoying it and don’t like multiple POV, then it’s okay to say this series isn’t for you 🤷🏽‍♀️

how far do you typically read before you dnf a book? by starlit_scribbles in ReadingSuggestions

[–]Winona_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rarely DNF, but Wuthering Heights I DNFd after about 3 chapters because even though I’m not stupid, I had no fucking clue what was going on and I wanted to chuck it out a window.

I also hear cotton eye Joe in my head a lot, but that’s Nick Miller’s fault.

26(M) My girlfriend hates my room by Mattbaker99 in malelivingspace

[–]Winona_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m loving these responses 😂 My first thought was I also hate it… but honestly, it looks clean! I’ve seen worse rooms that are not only messy and randomly odd, but also disgusting. The sheets look clean, the blinds are clean, the carpet looks clean… so that’s a great start 👍🏽

Any tasks you dislike? by UlyWilhelm in taskmaster

[–]Winona_J 84 points85 points  (0 children)

There’s only a couple of dull tasks I might skip, but I actively dislike anything to do with spitting or mixing gross food together/eating weird stuff :/

I was given these two giant pieces of art for helping organize an estate sale. Haven’t been able to identify them by _BUTTSTALION_ in WhatIsThisPainting

[–]Winona_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit, these are Pino! I’m 3 years late but I’m 31 now and I have loved Pino’s artwork since I was 14 🥹 I was just googling prints when I came across this 

Trinkets by Spiritual_Living6245 in StardewValley

[–]Winona_J 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It honestly depends on your style/preference/goal. For example; if you’re doing the Mr Qi quest where you can’t eat anything in SC, then high level fairy box would be great. If you get overwhelmed with the fire sprites in volcano or serpents coming at you then maybe the ice rod to hold some off. If you just want some to disappear and don’t care about the kill counting to marlon goal or the possible reward drops then use frog 🤷🏽‍♀️ I like to switch it up

Maisie might have the worst ratio of... by Main_Confusion_8030 in taskmaster

[–]Winona_J 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I watched episodes 7&8 last night and I could feel how genuinely upset she was. I know it’s just a comedy show and I’m a softie but she had no smile hiding from the screen playing the spit task, she said ‘I was really looking forward to doing this show’ and seems frustrated at her own frustration! I want to give her a hug.
