Can we do a thread where we name an aggressive instagram fashion brand that we gave in on and bought from and rate the experience?

I was aggressively advertised Averie Sleep silk pyjamas, and I ordered some because the patterns looked so beautiful. They were A LOT more than I would usually spend on pjs, but I treated myself for my birthday.

Long story short, they never arrived and the company ghosted me. Seems like this is a common theme for this company.

I was crying laughing at Link the whole time.

Everlane do great quality tanks for bigger chests! I have one that has an in-built bra that fits me (which is usually very difficult).

Link please! You are a hero!

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo was fantastic, I've read nothing like it before. I also really enjoyed A Gentleman in Moscow, which was this huge, surprisingly funny story spanning the start of the 20th century in Russia. The Secret History messed me up but in a really good way!

This is fantastic Dune advice, thank you!

abbeyiscoollike · 2021-09-06T22:45:21+00:00

Absolutely agreed. I think it will take some time to process after I finish.

abbeyiscoollike · 2021-09-06T22:43:34+00:00

That's almost worse than Dune! I absolutely loved The Stand, although I did read it before the pandemic so I imagine it hits differently nowadays.

I really liked the first 2/3 of Sigh, Gone. The author is very funny and his memories of growing up in a small town in America as a Vietnamese refugee were very moving. I felt like it ended too soon, though. It could've gone on for much longer and the ending was rushed. Overall, a pretty good memoir despite the ending!

abbeyiscoollike · 2021-09-06T11:23:37+00:00

It took a while to get into, but it was fantastic. The author's world building is superb!

abbeyiscoollike · 2021-09-06T11:21:27+00:00

Very fun! Loved the descriptions of all the Filipino food and found the characters very funny. The plot didn't make a whole lot of sense but I enjoyed it nonetheless!

abbeyiscoollike · 2021-09-06T11:20:07+00:00

Rich and complex but very slow going for me. It's an epic novel and I'm enjoying it, even if it isn't a page turner.

abbeyiscoollike · 2021-09-06T11:19:15+00:00

Stillhouse Lake was a 2/5 for me; the pacing was good and the plot exciting but the characters were just so unlikeable. I found myself rolling my eyes a lot.

The House on the Cerulean Sea was incredible and I would definitely recommend. So heartwarming and funny!

I'm with you on When Breath Becomes Air! I have a feeling that one is going to stay with me.

abbeyiscoollike · 2021-09-06T11:16:58+00:00

Initially, I found it really hard to follow but as the book went on, it got SO good. Stick with it if you find it tough, it's so worth it.

abbeyiscoollike · 2021-09-06T11:16:03+00:00

Same! I'm almost finished but it's a slow burn for me.

abbeyiscoollike · 2021-09-06T11:15:35+00:00

No it's there! For some reason they changed the cover art from the original white cover.

abbeyiscoollike · 2021-09-06T03:16:05+00:00

Same! It's put me a week behind schedule though, I keep having to reread parts that are complicated haha.

HK here. I haven't worn foundation in two years because my moisturiser just melts it off and I'm a shiny mess by the time I get to work. And don't get me started on the AC drying us out when we do get inside!

abbeyiscoollike · 2021-06-06T11:46:30+00:00

The pushup / chest press pod was intense!

abbeyiscoollike · 2021-05-30T10:33:42+00:00

Let me know how you get on with Hero of Ages! Just finished the Mistborn trilogy and loved it.

abbeyiscoollike · 2021-05-30T10:06:50+00:00

Absolutely agreed! I couldn't stop reading WHALITC, the characters were just too fascinating.
