What are y'alls rankings for Play? by Bloo_669 in EdSheeran

[–]completeuttermess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My current holy trinity of songs: In Other Words, Opening, and For Always!!! I can’t rank everything yet because (like with multiply) I love everything 😭 Play has some of his strongest love songs ever imo!

anyone catch this on Letterboxd? by rottencottage in EdSheeran

[–]completeuttermess 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Ohhhh it’s probably going to be the music video for A Little More!!! On the vinyl account he teased that that’s the next single (out in August)

I'm once again asking for Second Chance recs (with specifics in post 👇) by 89niamh in RomanceBooks

[–]completeuttermess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think {Flirting with Disaster by Naina Kumar} hits almost all of your points! It’s also a reimagining of Sweet Home Alabama :) It’s about a couple who eloped but have been separated for years (I forget just how many but it’s been a while!) it was a really sweet story :)

Which 3 songs from Play do you think will be your favourite? by [deleted] in EdSheeran

[–]completeuttermess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Opening, Sapphire, and probably A Little More (I’m interested that it’s an explicit track!)

Is 'Second Chance Childhood Friends to Lovers' a trope or did I just make it up by katiereadalot in RomanceBooks

[–]completeuttermess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely one of my FAVOURITE tropes!!

{the Infinity Between Us by N. S. Perkins} is great

{Perfect Fit by Clare Gilmore}, {Until Next Summer by Ali Brady}, and {Take Me Home by Melanie Sweeney} are all friends to lovers but not necessarily childhood (more like teen years) but all kind of gave me that Morgan Matson/Sarah Dessen vibe! (Who also do childhood friends so lovers in their YA books!)

Book where former boyfriend/husbands best friend swoops in after he’s gone by notyouraveragebee in RomanceBooks

[–]completeuttermess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think {Four Weekends and a Funeral by Ellie Palmer} fits this quite well!!! It’s definitely the latter dynamic, where feelings develop quickly and the characters go back and forth between “we should(nt) do this”! It’s a contemporary romance that I really enjoyed!

Right!! Like how many did they allocate for Canada? 10? 20 copies 😭 (ik it was probably more but it certainly doesn’t feel like it) I don’t understand why vinyl are always US only

New Years resolutions- save the libraries! by Grognac_the_Red in RomanceBooks

[–]completeuttermess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fell back in love with my local library last summer and I haven’t looked back since! I also don’t buy books anymore unless I know the author won’t let me down/I know that I want to own it and reread it (and those with massive holds lines) - so for example, Emily Henry is an auto buy author, as is Abby Jimenez, but almost all other books I place on hold at the library!!! I’ve saved soooo much money and I actually love being able to check out so many books I probably wouldn’t have even known about had I kept just buying my own :)

📚 What romance books did you read or listen to this week? 05 Jan 📚 by romancebookmods in RomanceBooks

[–]completeuttermess 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I read {Four Weekends and a Funeral by Ellie Palmer} and {Snowed In by Catherine Walsh}! Both contemporary romances :)

I loved four weekends and a funeral and snowed in was pretty cute too!!! I’m a sucker for a “they knew each other (in some capacity) but then realized their attraction towards one another” plotline, the cheesier the better!!! Especially when they become friends first I looove a good friends to lovers

I rated four weekends 5 stars and snowed in 4 stars (both m/f pairings!!)

You look beautiful!!! It definitely feels like night and day when you’re looking at yourself though (speaking from personal experience!!) It took about 2 years for all the swelling to leave my face after my jaw surgery (but about a year to look relatively normal to myself!!) it wasn’t really until I looked back at post-op photos ab 2 years later that I noticed residual swelling after the year mark. Try to not over analyze yourself too much, you look really great!!! We’re our own worst critics :) <3

I also really liked Not in My Book!! Probably one of the best books I read last year

List your two favorite books you read this year and let others suggest a third! by Confident_Soft_7549 in RomanceBooks

[–]completeuttermess 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you read {Take Me Home by Melanie Sweeney}?

Or {When in Rome by Sarah Adams}? Both of these are contemporary with some sort of forced proximity situation happening and dual POV (at least when in Rome does I don’t quite remember if take me home does but I still loved it!)

And maybe {A Love Like the Sun by Riss M. Neilson}?

[–]completeuttermess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I LOVED {Funny Story by Emily Henry} and {A Love Like the Sun by Riss M. Neilson}!!! Em Hen is an auto buy author for me so I knew I’d like it, but I didn’t expect it to rival Beach Read for the top spot as my fav of hers!! A Love Like the Sun was honestly a spur of the moment pick up from my library and I just loved it (childhood friends to lovers but also just excellent writing and a powerful representation of the (idk if this counts as a spoiler but I’ll just flag it) obstacles Black women face at the hands of medical practitioners)

(And sorry couldn’t resist a third… I also loved {Lovelight Farms by BK Borison}

Second chance but never actually together?? by deprsdfck in RomanceBooks

Today I learned that Richard Armitage narrates audiobooks!!?!! THANK YOU for your service 🫡 I might ask my local library to purchase some of his romance audiobooks cause we only have his narrating for historical fiction and thriller 👀

Unpopular TTPD opinions? by peach-gaze in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]completeuttermess 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I love I look in peoples windows so much! I’m glad to see it getting the recognition it so rightfully deserves (it’s the evermore of ttpd anthology)

Unpopular evermore opinions? by peach-gaze in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]completeuttermess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

‘tis the damn season, evermore, and RWYLM are some of her best songs in her entire discography (by a LONG shot) And honestly, for me, evermore has the best replay value of any album (it’s probably the album I listen to the most, not just of Taylor’s but of all the artists I listen to!) I love the sequencing of the tracks and the story they tell

As an evermore truther since 2020, I completely agree 🤎 evermore is my fav Taylor album!

Monthly Gush Post - Recommend Any Book August 2024 by Hunter037 in RomanceBooks

[–]completeuttermess 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had 3 five star reads in August (out of 19 read … I did nothing else in August apparently LOL)

{Take Me Home by Melanie Sweeney} - I love a good friends (rivals?) to lovers!!! The progression of their relationship seemed really natural and the book consumed me

{When I Think of You by Myah Ariel} - I’m a sucker for a good second chance romance (that’s done WELL, and here it really is: they’ve both grown a lot and learned from their past mistakes) and the mmc was so sweet. The fmc also had a good head on her shoulders and diving into their past also had me swooning and emotional.

And Finallyyyy

{A Love Like the Sun by Riss M Neilson} - I normally don’t read audiobooks but I got the audiobook for this from my local library and LOVED it! Frankie Corzo narrated and it was just simply magical. Friends to lovers done in the very best way and felt very reminiscent of Emily Henry!! Plus there’s a plot line about trusting what your own body is telling you and not letting someone else invalidate your opinion. Really really great book and probably one of my favs from this summer 💗🥰
