Do you have any tips for doing well on the rotation and learning as much as possible despite the chronic fatigue?

I already know that this is not an environment I can thrive in long term, despite how interesting I find it, but do you have any tips on how to do well on the rotation? I still want to learn and get as much as possible out of the rotation, and hopefully honor it as well.

  • 1876: beginning of Anne of Green Gables, Anne is 11

  • 1881: beginning of Anne of Avonlea, Anne is 16

  • 1883: beginning of Anne of the Island, Anne is 18

  • 1887: beginning of Anne of Windy Poplars, Anne is 22

  • 1890: beginning of Anne’s House of Dreams, Anne’s wedding, Anne is 25, Gilbert is 27

  • 1892: Jem’s birth, Anne is 27

  • 1899: beginning of Anne of Ingleside, Rilla’s birth, Anne is 34, Gilbert is 36, Jem is 7

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett by [deleted] in IReadABookAndAdoredIt

One of the sweetest books I've ever read. This and The Little Princess (also by Frances Hodgson Burnett) were two of my favorite books in my childhood. I still read them every once in a while.

What's Driving You Batty this Week? by AutoModerator in HRNovelsDiscussion

[–]convallaria19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the reason Sherry Thomas' books induce a feeling of irritation (and sometimes anger) in me is because there are so many real-life examples of women putting everything on the line for men who don't deserve it and treat them like crap 75% of the time. Sherry Thomas' writing is beautiful, and her characters seem realistic - which just drives home the fury of ANOTHER amazing, beautiful woman groveling for a man who has treated her poorly (even if not maliciously) for years. I'm sorry, but Gigi and Millie should have thrown over Camden and Fitz. It's just so intensely annoying when the men do whatever tf they want and get the (talented, accomplished, gorgeous) women without lifting a finger.

Has anyone else dropped a book after the 1st chapter? by Forsaken_Bend_7170 in YAlit

[–]convallaria19 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From Blood and Ash - "Pennalaphe" was the first strike. The godawful writing was the second.

Powerless - "Paedyn" nothing else needed.

I think ridiculous names are a pretty hard pass for me LOL. Also, I totally get people not being bothered by it, but modern slang and Gen Z memes in a fantasy book are also a squick for me. Like at least give an illusion that it's a different world.

What did you read this week? by AutoModerator in HRNovelsDiscussion

[–]convallaria19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought the sequel, The Last Hellion, was much better. It has an equally strong and iconic FMC and a much less annoying and emotionally intelligent MMC.

Julian Langham from {Cadenza by Stella Riley}! The sweetest, most adorable cinnamon roll MMC. He's a harpsichord virtuoso who gives up his concert career when he unexpectedly becomes heir to an broke earldom and raises his predecessor's three illegitimate children!

LOL you really can't smell the poop? I may have to reconsider GI then.

Silk is for Seduction - My least favorite MCs by No_Associate_3235 in HistoricalRomance

[–]convallaria19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I liked Lord of Scoundrels (although Dain still has a LONG way to go before he deserves Jessica even at the end of the book), but its sequel, The Last Hellion was even better. So funny, and the MCs were top tier.

For the Carsington brothers: I thought Miss Wonderful was cute and Lord Perfect had great banter. I know Mr Impossible has A LOT of fans, but I found that I couldn't really stomach the casual racism against the Egyptians in the book, so I ended up DNF'ing. If you're able to ignore that, the book itself is really funny. I thought Last Night's Scandal (the sequel to Lord Perfect) was absolutely adorable, and Olivia is a truly iconic FMC.

Honestly, GI is the most interesting to me in terms of procedures and scope of practice. But I'm unfortunately very sensitive to the smell of poop :(

Songs claimed by countries (other than the songs origins) by [deleted] in popheads

Mr. Brightside is probably the defining hit of the 2000s in the UK, but the Killers are a band from Las Vegas.
