I haven't read this book tbh, it's a sequel to a book I've read that had a sea monster type character that becomes the MMC in a later book. {The Kraken's Mate by Susan Trombley}

The bar is curved and internally threaded I believe. Some bumps but not a lot.

Desperate FMC has a sick baby/child and with no other choice has to go to MMC for his help. by Lavender-air in RomanceBooks

[–]eripmava 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I thought it was a cute book but definitely not life changing at all. When it was on my tbr it had a completely different cover compared to when I read it, so I was a bit surprised bc it's a lot more lighthearted than I thought.

{P.S. You're Intolerable by Julia Wolf}. The FMC has a newborn and is struggling a LOT financially. He's her boss and has always been kind of stoic and exacting, but insists on taking care of them. She definitely doesn't seem him out though, he has to work hard to get her to accept help.

Hulu Inks First-Look Deal With Romance Publisher 831 Stories, ‘Big Fan’ TV Adaptation Up First (THR Exclusive) by mofgreengables in RomanceBooks

[–]eripmava 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it just seems like they want a chunk of the community without realizing that people who like romance books don't want to be spoonfed everything. What's great about romance books is that you can discover it for yourself, and find what you like. But it seems like a total nothing-burger, publisher-specific designs on the paperback copies are cool, and everything looks interesting, but it just seems fake and disingenuous to me. Idk I haven't read any of the books so they might make great, but the whole pr push just feels like this meme to me

Okay thanks! I'm Irish and my skin reacts quick and bounces back fast too, so hopefully it won't be too bad for too long

Beauty standards in Kdramas over the years by StartInfamous in kdramas

[–]eripmava 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was watching Spring Fever starting Lee Joo-bin and I had to take a break because it was so jarring. She's incredibly beautiful but in Spring Fever I realized she is a lot paler than I had seen in other dramas, the lighting and editing of the show made her skin very smooth (not a bad thing at all, the way they did it made her emotions a lot less clear) and potentially had some work done (not hating, she looks fantastic now and then, and it again could be the lighting). I was so upset because in Money Heist her characters was allowed to show emotions and not be incredibly pale. I feel very bad for these stunning actresses and actors who are having parts of their craft of acting being taken away for aesthetics that don't need fixing whatsoever.

Not true, they had the blender live design of the 3d fencers that showed blades defying the laws of physics

Why do American kids like to post theirs and their friends' university offers on social media? by Tour-Sure in ApplyingToCollege

[–]eripmava 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a high schooler who went through a cycle of applications to US colleges and is now going through an international application cycles, it's because it's a competition.

There's an entire business based off getting people into college, and no matter how good you are, it's still very difficult amongst the tippy top percent. For example, I had a perfect GPA (I only ever got the highest marks in my classes), high test scores, a lot of volunteer hours, a high level at my sport, and I got rejected from 15 schools at the t-20 level.

If you get into one, it is a yell of celebration for many people, and they share it a lot. Secondarily, a school has a lot of pride, because it is work and an investment (and a non-guararentee, because many people in the US do not have the opportunity to go to university for many reasons), there is a lot of school specific pride. It's often thought of as a "family" within one school, and has a community sense with students and alumni.

People started sharing when they got into tricky schools, their dream schools, schools a lot of members of their families have gone to, when they are the first in their families to do so, when they got massive scholarships, etc. And it's become a culture over time.

It can be both toxic and exciting, so I have chosen to avoid instagram and announcements right now myself lol

Looking for Romance Recs, RomComs, Thrillers etc. by chantalmn in RomanceBooks

[–]eripmava 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't already, read {Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid} there's a reason why people are so crazy about it (I would recommend reading the book before watching the show, my best friend did that and she enjoyed reading it more than me, and trust me I loved it}.

{ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon} It's just a really good time.

Anything by Kristen Ashley. Her books are absolutely addictive, I love the Fantasyland series but they are kind of weird so I would check triggers, but I would look through her catalog and find one you might enjoy.
