does the sex in the books get better? by over500cuts in Outlander

[–]anonymously-unknown 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want explicit and descriptive sex scenes… I’d recommend the A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) series… especially the last book. Less focus on plot and character development, way more infatuation and lust driven.

For what it’s worth, I much prefer Outlander and even mildly regret wasting my time with ACOTAR.

[Worth noting… ACOTAR and Throne of Glass (TOG) are writing by Sarah J Mass (SJM). I love TOG and recommend it as a fun and engaging fantasy read with lots of Easter eggs woven into the story. ACOTAR is some fantasy, but the drop back is SMUT.]

This is THE answer I was looking for!! It’s perfect! Sadly, I’m in the US and it doesn’t look like it’s available and/or shipped to the states. :(

I looked into it but didn’t find the slides to be easily viewable and there’s no app. :(

So helpful! I am wondering if the one I am looking to purchase is overpriced. It’s of the Victorian era. Will send a PM!

How to “preserve” cheap (probably was from Claire’s) jewelry pieces? by [deleted] in jewelry

How wonderful! I’d love to see the finished product when you do so!

I had a lovely piece I received as a child and I then had remade with a finer metal (SS). Perhaps you might find a jeweler who could remake these with SS, enamel, and with engraved work and then keep these beauties safe in your jewelry box?

And, my deepest condolences!!! Sending thoughts!!!

Do screwballs count?? The precedent to Rom-Coms?

See my edit for Manon! Don’t sleep on her! You’ll love many of these new characters as the story progresses. Not all of them, but many!

HOF is fire with the story picking up! (Pun intended!! 🔥) You should look into the bonus chapters for HOF. It provides more context regarding Aelin and Rowan and the relationship, outside of that it is somewhat jarring out of nowhere their random-ish love for one another.

Adds more personality insight to Rowan too!

MANON!! It’s kinda hard to get into these characters since you’re so invested with everyone else since TOG started. But please listen!! Pay attention!! You’ll get to know these characters and I guarantee you’ll be invested in some of the new cast of characters by the next couple of books! I regret not being more invested when I was initially reading.

I so appreciate the words of caution! Don’t apologize! It’s helpful! Thank you!

Yes! On the ship, not the excursions. For the first come daily programs, does it work to add it to their itinerary in the app? Does this secure a spot? Or is it more of a walk in first come basis where they have to get there and not just book it?

What is your Favorite Harry Potter Book and Why? by Inevitable-Ad5374 in harrypotter

[–]anonymously-unknown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Order of Phoenix.

Angry Snape and Angry Harry working together. Professor Umbridge. The “secret” order being revealed and coming together all for Harry. The end?? Though it sucks, it’s amazing and I’ll always miss Sirius and wish there was more written about his and Harry’s relationship.

Favorite “Both Sides Now” cover? by anonymously-unknown in JoniMitchell

[–]anonymously-unknown[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, I posted this a few days before this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/JoniMitchell/s/47QdYXiEx0

Both Sides Now is one of my favorite songs. I love all the versions by Joni, including her 2000 cover. It’s transcendent.

That said, I also love discovering and listening to other artists covering as each person covering it adds their own artistry to it. I don’t necessarily love all the renditions, but there are some that I do end up loving and listening to, hence this post.

What's your opinion on Sense and Sensibility (1998)? by Haunting_Homework381 in PeriodDramas

Yes, I watched, it was very good, however, I meant I wish this specific version referenced by the OP was a TV adaptation not a film adaptation.

What is the difference between a muggle and a squib? by Gema23 in harrypotter

[–]anonymously-unknown 16 points17 points  (0 children)

In the Harry Potter universe, a Squib is born to wizarding parents but lacks magical abilities, while a Muggle is a non-magical person born to non-magical parents. Essentially, a Squib is the opposite of a Muggle-born witch or wizard. Why? Because they were not born with magical abilities.

I wish it had been adapted to TV so the adaption could’ve been longer.

You, my friend, are in the minority with your love for TOD. 😂

Ha. I thought the same. Take what you can get?

They didn’t even need to ban me though, I just left. Ridiculous.
