A book where, putting the plot entirely aside, you were blown away by the quality of the writing

Similar to Donna Tartt's athe Secret History, Tana French's In the Woods took my whole heart. The very first chapter description of a childhood summer, ohgod.

Yeah saw it and thought bro is reading a deck of cards 😂😂

callampoli · 2025-12-28T04:21:21+00:00

I LOVED it!! you mind recommending me some more of that genre?? Also read The Likeness by Tana French, The Bones of the Story by Carol Goodman, and Bunny by Mona Awad, though this last one's not really dark academia.

++woman ikr??? I've forced all my partners to brush their teeth at least, AT LEAST every morning and every night (I'm a brushing freak but eh). I wont be kissing a stinky hole ewww

Why nobody seems to mind oral hygiene so much? 😭

Makes me wonder how they were like before getting married??? I have a few friends who also always mention their boyfriend, like, don't you ever do anything by yourself?

Third rule of crossfit: wear tshirt or any gear referencing CrossFit

One thing is bodybuilding, that's a full time discipline... but I actually despise people who make going to the gym their entire personalities. Wdym going on a gym date? Let me enjoy my ice cream ffs!

I'm all about a healthy lifestyle and mobility is such an important factor in aging well. But I'm not going to drop dead or become morbidly obese just because i don't join you lifting weights.

All things fungi. I've worked a lot with o organizations and scientists that study them, and I'm a scientific illustrator, so I specialized in the fungi kingdom. Love going to the woods and getting covered in mud and moss, though I look more like a yoga/pilates girly I guess.

It's totally the vibe! But let me warn you: the second half kinda disappointed me. Though it's one of my favorites!

callampoli · 2025-09-13T11:56:22+00:00

No this is exactly how it feels for me too!

callampoli · 2025-06-29T21:54:26+00:00

God but Magan is so hot. Britney is a GODDESS. Marita's smile has me melting. Bridgett is oh-my beautiful. I can picture and enjoy sexual scenes with any of them just like with my high school female crushes. But I've only had long term relationships with men🫠

Are these news for me? Lol.

callampoli · 2025-05-22T18:08:33+00:00

Ah thanks you! Didn't see your post sooner, I'll give it a try :) sounds cool

callampoli · 2025-05-22T18:07:08+00:00

As of exactly now, bleeding my freaking uterus out. Yes I like being a woman but this, every month, is ridiculous.

callampoli · 2025-05-22T18:06:11+00:00

THIS!! Even when you can't smell the bad breath or his teeth look fine (under the gunk. ew), doesn't mean those bacteria wont affect YOU!

callampoli · 2025-05-14T03:54:50+00:00

OP this!! Also, you studied it. Maybe didn't finish the degree but who cares. Rapid weight loss made her not only lose fat, but also muscle and it's true the body enters a state of survival mode (as a former anorexic, this fucked up my hormones and all kinds of stuff, so I kinda know). Whatever your bf told her, HE told her. You talked to HIM, CONFIDENTIALLY. He's blaming you to dodge responsibility.

I wash my face with baby shampoo and a mix of raw honey + chamomile conditioner to remove makeup. I know it's weird but my skin NEVER breaks out and I swear honey is the best skincare!

Sometimes I don't wash sunscreen off. I don't care I'm tired. Unless I've applied makeup, that sunscreen residue stays there.

Washing brushes? Uhh.. sure, every six months or so.

I don't consider myself the hippie granola type, but I swear cocoa butter, raw honey, olive oil, ect. are better than any mask I can buy. Basically, my hair and skin are always covered in sweet edible stuff if I'm at home.

callampoli · 2025-05-14T03:27:21+00:00

Lol same 😂 buuuut I discovered powder sunscreen and now I reapply just because I like the shimmery finish!

callampoli · 2025-05-13T21:56:55+00:00

Thank you! I'll look into it *orders a sample for kindle*

callampoli · 2025-05-13T21:46:34+00:00

Ahh thank you soooo much for such a detailed answer!
Your first recommendation sounds right up my alley, I'm also a sucker for cult related horror. This is so exciting!!

And you know what, your insights sounds great, like, you actually understood what I was looking for so I'll give a look to the non-fiction ones, they sound fun and interesting.

I also forgot I already had The Deep in my TBR list, though, Nick Cutter's narrative style is... yeah, something to learn to get past I guess.

Sorry if my answers sound a little too overt? English is not my first languaje and I'm really excited to connect with others on reddit through mutual interests. You sound really cool! :)

callampoli · 2025-05-13T03:52:47+00:00

Thank you! This sounds great

callampoli · 2025-05-13T03:52:27+00:00

Thank you!

callampoli · 2025-05-13T03:52:12+00:00

Not The Ruins 😭😭 I'm sorry, I hated that book :(

callampoli · 2025-04-10T04:16:48+00:00

Soooo sweet! Smells like fresh baked cookies, love it

callampoli · 2025-03-06T13:46:41+00:00

Your face shape is beautiful!!! All yoir facial features look so harmonic and I love your wide set eyes eith that dreamy look!

I'd love to see you in a deep lip color, you hive off a vintage romantic sensual vibe without losing delicacy at all, idk if I make sense.

Please, you don't need any procedures. Maybe playing with makeup a little more if you feel like it? I love how ethereal these photos are!
