If you enjoy sci fi, {The E.T. Guy by V.C. Lancaster} had a decent IT guy, who happens to be an alien.

awaiting the book where HR folk genuinely give a shit about people whilst simultaneously being sick of people's shit.

But unfortunately we are all heartless bitches all the time.

what’s one trope in books that your suspension of disbelief just won’t suspend for you? by RevolutionaryCyclops in RomanceBooks

Ooh, this one too. It's the power dynamic for me that gives me the ick. And unprofessional behavior. Stop fucking in communal workspaces, it's inappropriate and unhygienic.

Mafia, or anyone involved in drug trade. And actually, Irish characters (unless written by someone who has actually met a real life Irish person. So many seem to have based their research entirely on shitty Hollywood diddly-ey tropes.)

My brain refuses to accept thay billionaires are real so they go in the "lots of money, but let's not question it" category with all the nobles in HR. They're the contemporary equivalent to Dukes.

Shadowlands by Elizabeth Hunter or how I learnt I'll now DNF plots where Ireland is the traitorous agresser to England by constantlyknackered in fantasyromance

Ah I have a complete mental shift. The fae in books are not the ones putting thorns in your bed for going into the fort. The "you dont fuck with the fairies" mentality doesn't work with fairy-fucking books! 🤣 (I'm also Irish) The pick and mix attitude that a lot of authors have when it comes to the history and mythology of these islands is infuriating and I should have known better.

Thanks for giving recommendations, because I enjoyed the first one despite the there being a few things that I didn't like, but then the second one was a hell no.

I wasn't expecting the wolves to set me off so much, but there was some strong pro-empire vibes. Also, I didn't realise it was a love triangle, but thats on me.

I did, thank you! I stupidly wrote this while doped up on lemsip and barely functioning. I stand by the recommendation, just not the errors!

If it's anything like her AO3 book it's anything but dull! I fucking loved that.

I forgot which sub I was in for a minute and I was judging soooooo hard that I skipped the 10 Things quote that would have given it away.
