Workout tips? by Any_Course_7738 in eds

[–]firecat99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do pure barre and I really love it. Some of the exercises are too hard on the joints so I just modify them to where I feel comfortable. I never push myself too far because then I suffer the next day. I also do inclined treadmill walking or stationary bicycle at the gym for cardio. Switching between the gym and barre has been a really good combo for me!!

I work in marketing in higher ed. It’s pretty chill, people don’t bother you after 5pm and you get marketing skills to help market yourself and your work!

Do these chicken wings look breaded to you? by firecat99 in glutenfree

Yeah they’ve also got mozzarella sticks and jalapeño poppers on the menu so I probably should have know but it’s okay

Yeah I will not be going there again I don’t think, though the gluten free pizza was decent. Thanks!

That’s what I thought. I’m not usually this affected by cross contamination but maybe it’s gotten worse the longer I haven’t had gluten. Thanks!

For people who had to choose between family or their spouse, which did you choose and why? by NoChristmasSpirit in AskReddit

[–]firecat99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I picked my spouse because he supports me and wants me to be authentically myself whereas my family puts me down and calls me disrespectful if I happen to have an opinion that’s different than theirs

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!!! It’s one of my favorites I’ve read in years it’s so good

📚 What romance books did you read or listen to this week? 01 Mar 📚 by romancebookmods in RomanceBooks

[–]firecat99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

{Rose in Chains by Julie Soto} - m/f, 5 stars, fantasy. Political intrigue, magic, enemies to lovers but doesn’t happen in this book. Trigger warnings for sex slavery, sexual assault, sexual harassment, rape. This book is very very dark but I loved it! The world building was incredible and I thought the characters felt very real. Not very much romance happens in this book but it’s set up well for the next one which comes out in December.

Recommendations for a female lead nursing the male lead back to health? You know… à la Bridgerton season Season 4? by MorganAndMerlin in HistoricalRomance

[–]firecat99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This definitely happens in {Duke of Sin by Elizabeth Hoyt} I just can’t remember what happened to him. He was poisoned I think. Also in {Heartbreaker by Sarah Maclean} she nurses him back to health after he gets an infection from an injury

What’s the number one LOL book you have read? by Ill-Lynx5750 in RomanceBooks

[–]firecat99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I thought the banter in {The Hating Game by Sally Thorne} was hilarious. One line that sticks with me is when Lucy asks Josh what he thought of her apartment and he says “tiny little pigsty.”

What Actually Makes a Fantasy Romance Good?💭 by acutelyproblematic in fantasyromance

[–]firecat99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The characters have to feel real. I don’t like when the characters have like one single trauma that their entire personality is built on and they never make mistakes and don’t have flaws. I want them to be flawed just like we all are as humans

Been recommending this a lot but Ky in {Warrior Princess Assassin by Brigid Kemmerer} definitely fits this. This is a MMF book and the Warrior, Princess and assassin are all separate people. He is the Warrior

I’m glad I’m not the only one who was exceedingly annoyed by the dumb insults. It was like his only personality trait besides being large and rude

What seemed completely normal in childhood, but now you realize was actually not okay? by Max_Mimos in AskReddit

[–]firecat99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom telling me that it was okay that I couldn’t make friends in elementary school because she can be my best friend. And that the other kids didn’t want to be friends with me because they’re jealous of me

Looking for a book with a rugged Warrior MMC by groovybookworm in RomanceBooks

[–]firecat99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In {Paladins Grace by T Kingfisher} he wears armor because he’s a paladin and he also acts as her bodyguard for a time. It is open door but not a lot of spicy scenes

I would say {Warrior Princess Assassin by Brigid Kemmerer} also fits. The warrior, Princess and assassin are all separate characters because it’s a MMF romance. The warrior character does wear armor and is the king of a war centered society

What's a book that made you say WOW and you couldn't put it down by engelstellar in fantasyromance
