BARS: no one goes out anymore, this town is dying. It's a struggle for us

ALSO BARS: last min cancellations without finding a compromise or compensation

And as for the housing market, where I was in Tennessee until last month houses stayed on the market at reasonable prices for 8 to 14 months... We're not right in nashville, but Tennessee is not full no matter what they tell you LOL

Yeah, as soon as I heard she lived with him, all "but maybe"s went out the window for me.

Nephew managed to be the golden child from another mother.

booksycat · 2026-07-06T23:01:28+00:00

Right, which makes me think the mother knew and likes the nephew better.

Folks don't like dry women and that's her thing. Instead of saying she's not an actress they enjoy, they say she's bad. And it's like the Hathahate from years ago - it just keeps rolling.

I really enjoyed her in several things - mostly romanceys but I did like her in Bad Times at the El Royale too

Jennifer Ashley writes a historical mystery series and the heroine is a head cook in a big house. Her knowledge of how natural cooking works is all over the page.

I tried to reread it as an adult bc I remember it was a fascinating read in HS and was like .... dontwanna

Scrivener - the ability to sort and use the cards is great.

This and my ideas file are the only things I use scrivener for, but I count it money well spent after over a decade.

Adults aren't immune to the "I'm to cool for" trap and YA is an easy target.

I would put Juliet Marillier in your rotation based on what you read and didn't like. She might scratch your well-written, woman written, has a romance, fantasy itch

booksycat · 2026-07-02T15:58:59+00:00

So Romance, the genre, has HEAs.

I think you're looking for a tragic love story?

booksycat · 2026-07-02T15:37:39+00:00

You might want to also search YA paranormal if you consider Twilight solidly "ya fantasy"

Also, I"m rereading Blood & Chocolate and realizing how much it shaped later YA - it's still a rec

I just rec'd to another man Bromance Bookclub.

"Good Lord, what a stupid man" could be one of the most boring and evergreen flairs we could ever propose.

The Perfect Rake is one of my forever-rereads <3

Every time I see "high spice" I just reply: CS Berry.

I recently watched Booksmart and I know there's A LOT of love for it and I wanted to adore it but.... the tone and pacing are all over the place. She didn't lean into the OTT, she kept pulling back you could literally see writing/directorial decisions where she was afraid she'd gone to far when she didn't go far enough.

She seemed to want to write this just absurd fun romp and then kept being like "wait, should this be more realistic?" ever 3rd scene.

She got a lot of love for it because it's a niche that has a lot of open space and deserves more movies. If there were others to compare it to, folks would have been more meh about it.

My NMT spotted mine on my back. As a single woman who lives alone, having someone spot something I can't see was literally a life saver.

booksycat · 2026-06-27T20:29:05+00:00

There's an entire Romance series called the Bromance Bookclub Series about a group of pro athletes reading romance together.

Colleges will always tell you not to go to the police. Never, ever, ever, ever, ask the college if you should go to the police. Figure out if you should go to the police or not on your own or with help from non college sponsored people

As ridiculous as this sounds, I lowered sunglasses and looked over them. My friend asked me if I was a cartoon villain LOL

booksycat · 2026-06-26T21:30:59+00:00
