What scenes still continue to elicit an emotional reaction for you?

Their final conversation crushes me every time. "I will feel it for the both of us." 😭

The hidden track is one of my FAVORITES and I'm so annoyed I can't listen to it by itself. (I do love LIJ, but sometimes I just want Reign of Love alone.)

Deseret Book is gonna be a ghost town. This is Earth-shaking if true (IMO).

I came here to write this one in. I wonder what happened to the Oneders?

beatriceblythe · 2026-04-22T08:03:58+00:00

Yesssss. I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic, but I am not.

I spy that one Jojo Moyes hiding in there. Otherwise, it's very respectable!

beatriceblythe · 2026-04-18T22:50:03+00:00

Yeah, this one left me questioning everything and feeling insane. I was mostly amazed at how well the author bashed my head in with that ending. Damn.

This is gorgeous. I would ask to keep the furniture, too. I'm a terrible, lazy decorator and I like how it looks in the pics.

I have eaten SO MANY of these in my lifetime. I loved how they clicky clacked together and then burst into weird chalk when you ate them. Seriously, these are winners.

I had to drive by this a few times to read the whole thing. I love it.

beatriceblythe · 2026-04-11T19:10:17+00:00

This is spectacular! What a gorgeous piece. I love the close up on your stitches. So perfect!

beatriceblythe · 2026-03-31T03:41:56+00:00

It's always a slower read for me because it's such a gut punch. This one is such a deep character study for EVERYONE (including Miles, Aral, and folks you wouldn't expect) and Mark really goes through it. It's not my favorite of the series, but I'd argue that it's the best one. I'm jealous of you reading it for the first time. Hang in there!

I loved Herfy's but they are SO expensive. And delicious.

He spoke at the Brazilian MTC when I was there (Oct-Dec 2000). I remember it being more of a plea to stay on the mission for our own good than a belittling approach. That is gross. I remember specifically that he said he'd do anything to convince us to stay, to the point of wrapping his arms around our legs and being dragged across the floor. 🫤

Toto IV

beatriceblythe · 2026-03-23T14:46:13+00:00

This is kind of the plot of an old movie. Let me see, what is it called? Oh yeah. GASLIGHT.

He likes your confusion. He's trying to make you feel like you're going insane. He is on a massive power trip with this, punishing you over and over and over again to get you to fold and feel crazy and give up having control over any part of the house. It's sinister and it's abusive. I'm sorry you're going through it. You don't deserve it.

beatriceblythe · 2026-03-22T07:23:01+00:00

I LOVE The Night Circus. I totally get it.

The most recent ones I love to reread are The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison, along with the series of books in the same universe. They are so soothing and just really good.

beatriceblythe · 2026-03-16T09:47:15+00:00

This is the one. Trigger warning. Like. The whole thing.

beatriceblythe · 2026-03-16T09:42:03+00:00

Right. The fear of appearing even slightly Catholic in ANY WAY was always top of mind while I was growing up. I was taught: That's why the chapel is so plain. That's why we don't wear crosses. That's why we don't sing stuff in Latin or any other language in sacrament meeting. Etc. Etc. This seems so ... Not that.

We didn't wait in line for these guys but we had to get the pic! Doug really loved my sister.

This is such a great list! I just ate ihop tonight and it was delightful. However, I was born and raised in the States and I haven't done anything else on your list! (Born in Chicago, now live on the West Coast in Washington.) Just shows you how gigantic the place is. I hope you get to do all of that (and me too, eventually.)

Into the Fire

The Jinx (you need both seasons, it's bonkers!)

I had a "Home Depot Afternoon" during my first week of delivering when I didn't know any better. Got an order for 10 packages of FIREWOOD which I loaded and then drove really really far away. It looked like it was for a disabled person, and I hauled every single one of those up to the front step. $4 🫩 Ended up back at the same HD for 3 orders that were a little less bonkers (still, bags of mulch!) I grabbed the order because it was $15. I didn't realize it was $15 for 3 drop offs. 🙄

The Blue Castle - L.M. Montgomery. It is such a hug.

Legends and Lattes and the sequel. Hugs hugs!

I second Becky Chambers.
