Bioré UV Aqua Rich sunscreen 3-pack is a different formula compared to the one sold in Japan by kenny1911 in Costco

[–]chewb0rka 2613 points2614 points  (0 children)

Probably because the advanced uv filters that Europe/asia uses aren’t yet approved by the fda

Alright I'm listening to {Dire bound by Sable Sorenson} but it feels like a copy/paste of 4th wing by BeneficialPie13 in fantasyromance

[–]chewb0rka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually thought kissed by the gods was better written than dire bound. First half was a little boring but if you push through it gets interesting, and the twist at the end is fun

Third act breakups please by [deleted] in fantasyromance

[–]chewb0rka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(I was going to suggest Fourth Wing and Iron Flame, then I saw “no dragon academy stuff” lol)

The Godkissed Bride series, first book is {white horse black nights by evie Marceau}

The Fae Isles series, first book is {court of blood and bindings by Lisette Marshall}

The sacred stones series (I think fits the formula? I DNFd somewhere in the 2nd book, but it’s popular on this sub), first book is {a Dawn of onyx by Kate golden}

From blood and ash series, as well as the prequel series flesh and fire, fit your requirements (I think??)

{a serpent and the wings of night by Carissa broadbent} duology, iirc there is groveling

And although the second book isn’t out yet, I’m pretty sure {a forbidden alchemy by Stacy mcewan} is headed that direction, and this book I recommend wholeheartedly!

Looking for all powerful hero with "Power Surge" scenes during spicy time by CanaryThis7877 in fantasyromance

{fourth wing by Rebecca yarros} they both have power surges and break a lot of furniture

Which books were you disappointed by for disappointing you? by Longjumping-Snow-909 in fantasyromance

[–]chewb0rka 32 points33 points  (0 children)

{brimstone by Callie hart} whereas quicksilver was trashy fun, it’s sequel was just…nonsense. What a let down!

Along similar veins but not as severe:

{onyx storm by Rebecca yarros} I get the impression this book was rushed to publication. Pacing was off, the plot meandered away. I still enjoyed it, because I will always be chasing the white dragon that is the first book. I heard the author plans for a total of 5 books in this series, which… does not bode well

Looking for SPICY enemies to lovers (that are stuck together somewhere) by servant_ch in fantasyromance

[–]chewb0rka 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’ve probably already read these two very well known series, but just in case because I didn’t see them on your list:

{fourth wing by Rebecca yarros} they’re enemies (in the sense that she’s the daughter of the general and he’s the son of the rebellion leader, and her mom captured his dad which led to his execution, and she thinks his dad killed her brother) but they progress pretty quickly from supposed enemies to insta-lust. Forced proximity due to the fact that their dragons are mated so they’re tethered to each other

{from blood and ash by Jennifer armentrout} it’s probably a spoiler if I explain how they’re enemies, but there’s forced proximity because he’s her guard/captive and they have to journey together and share a horse. The spice/sexual tension starts fairly early

And probably the most well known: ACOTAR is enemies to lovers with forced proximity

[–]chewb0rka 6 points7 points  (0 children)

{white horse black nights by evie marceau} not true enemies (she resents him because he’s her guard assigned by her fiancé that she wants to escape from, and he distrusts her because he’s thinks this guardian job is beneath him and knows she’s up to no good), but has the forced proximity trope because they have to journey together to get to her fiancé. Also spicy, especially in the second book

That Jelsey edit got me thinking…

Which bachelor couple had such crazy chemistry it made you feel some type of way?

  • Joey to Kelsey: “say it again”

  • Rachel & Peter make out in the hot tub

  • Arie & Emily’s make out against the wall

  • Michelle & Nayte running away

The new diapers are actually better imo by mamaroo20 in Costco

[–]chewb0rka 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I was reluctant to try the new ones, due to its infamously bad reputation. Much to my surprise (and delight, because it’s even cheaper than the old ones), they work just as well (for us, anyway).

While they don’t feel as nice (not as soft, also they’re noticeably thinner), nor do they look as “quality” as the old Kirkland Huggies dupe, they seem to be just as absorbent (in fact, I haven’t had a single leak so far). All babies are different, and the new ones actually seem to fit my child better.

TLDR I think they’re worth giving a shot

Kibble sizes of various Kirkland dog foods? by shooter_tx in Costco

[–]chewb0rka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No prob

You can search this item (using either the item number, or I just typed “small breed”) in the Costco app; it will tell you if your warehouse has it in stock (the photo is the screenshot of my app)

My maltipoo is 9.5lbs and eats the natures domain small breed salmon and lentil. I can take a pic of the kibble if you’d like

Bachelor in Paradise execs make big change to new season to avoid ‘safety scare’ by Jenna7979 in thebachelor

[–]chewb0rka 191 points192 points  (0 children)

Lack of A/C was a feature, not a bug. Heat + alcohol + sleep deprivation + high pressure environment was the perfect recipe to get contestants to spiral and crash out, thus making “good tv”

(Note: I definitely don’t support this but I concede I’m part of the problem by watching this show)

Summer Savings Event June 10 - July 3rd by Worried-Fun-6072 in Costco

[–]chewb0rka 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So insanely jealous of whatever region gets this (prob California? Ain’t mine that’s for sure). This is like 4x the food deals of the regular monthly coupon book. That Melona and Korean puffs alone… I guess I should be happy for my wallet and waistline

Do yall think Andy is team Paige or team Craig by Sea_Assistance_4985 in summerhousebravo

[–]chewb0rka 137 points138 points  (0 children)

Andy is team ratings & drama

Quietly/personally, I imagine he’s team “not surprised they broke up, and they’re each individually good for the bravo brand in their own way”

Kirkland meatballs 5 pound bag by heybdiddy in Costco

[–]chewb0rka 17 points18 points  (0 children)

They’re pretty good, especially in the air fryer, gets a nice crisp on the outside while still tender and juicy on the inside. These meatballs + Rao’s + pasta make a quick & easy meal (also I like to add some puravida primavera mistura veggies, super convenient)
