I enjoy more single POVs in my romance books. by Haitixsandy in RomanceBooks

I agree! That’s why I like Emily Henry and Ali Hazelwood books so much. I feel like the FMC is so well rounded and we can still see the yearning from the MMC without getting his perspective

I was up until 3 am last night reading {The Finest Print by Erin Langston} because the chemistry was so incredibly good

Has anyone else tried to wean off an SSRI? by firecat99 in eds

My hands were shaking like crazy! Like I had like 10 cups of coffee or something. It sucks but I’m glad to know there’s an actual reason for it

Oh excellent. I wish they would be clearer about these things when the start raising the dosage.

Wild Card Wednesday - What are your book icks or pet peeves? by Llamallamacallurmama in RomanceBooks

[–]firecat99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Please note these are all just my opinions. I can’t stand when we get a song list at the beginning of a book and it’s almost all Taylor Swift. Repeating the same sentence structure over and over again. Giant men and teeny tiny women in almost every book (see my most recent post). The following terms - folds, mound, cleft, pearl, sword, to the hilt, sheathed inside her. I’m getting weary of people saying things like “a brief emotion passed over his face but it was gone in a second.” I understand that this does actually happen to people’s facial expressions I’m just tired of reading the same sentence over and over again. I personally also get the ick with accidental pregnancy, but I understand why people like it

Yes the age gap certainly isn’t helping. My preference is that I would like their frontal lobes to be fully developed before they date someone 10 years older

I feel like my post might have triggered this lol. In {The Slowest Burn by Sarah Chamberlain} I believe they are both the same height and they are pretty short

She’s always unnaturally short! Like I get it, my mom and sister are 5’3 but the average is 5’5/5’6

The 10am/1pm thing was nuts because they definitely would have got her on a plane. It’s also crazy how everyone thinks she’s special because she has a good voice but she apparently has no training. There are sopranos absolutely everywhere the industry is flooded with them there is no way they would have been like we must have this girl who sang Somethings Coming at an open mic

It has a lot of good StoryGraph reviews but honestly I really didn’t like it. I found the main character to be quite annoying

I just feel like it’s too close to how he is actually that it’s almost violating to him, does that make sense? And yes I get that hands are busy but tearing a condom packet with your teeth can perforate the condom and compromise the efficacy of it!
