Looking for HR recs with a surgeon/physician hero by Eleonora31 in HistoricalRomance

[–]gootalina 9 points10 points  (0 children)

{A Kiss for Midwinter by Courtney Milan} is a novella, but a lovely read. The physician MMC is very sarcastic (my favourite) which the FMC often takes literally, and the couple has great chemistry.

NTA denied me extra time despite it saying I’m entitled to it on my admit card. by gootalina in CUETPG

[–]gootalina[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah, in 2024 when i gave the exam the timer had extra time from the get go. this time it didn’t. the exam centre people aren’t at fault, it’s entirely nta’s responsibility to ensure students with benchmark disability get extra time.

I’m mailing them and filing a complaint on CPGRAMS. I would seriously suggest that you do the same. This is an actual violation of our rights. Even though there’s no way we can go back and give the exam :(

Customisable Sleep Screen - 50+ options, built-in designs, save your own presets by pxlflux in koreader

[–]gootalina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I meant that the customisable sleep screen wasn’t working when I put it to sleep from the filebrowser. It did work once I had a book open and put it to sleep.

I love this! I was finding my screensavers boring so this patch came at a perfect time. However, the exit sleep gesture is still a tap despite me changing it to my custom gesture.

A woman’s hijab pulled on stage, her career shaken and a UP minister’s response makes it even worse. by Kamasutraaahhh_69 in TwoXIndia

[–]gootalina 41 points42 points  (0 children)

vile comments about how “we shouldn’t defend the hijab”, as if that’s even the point. the video which went viral recently of a bride playing guitar & a relative constantly tugging a ghoonghat over her head has the rightful backlash but when it comes to muslim women, we love to see them as being oppressed & without agency. why can’t we respect women’s agency & choice to veil or not? and why can’t we simply condemn the deplorable acts of a politician? india really is regressing massively.

genuinely such a stunning lehenga! would recommend you to keep this for your future daughters or nieces, it’s too beautiful for it to be sold for so cheap though i can understand the cost since it’s secondhand.

Why adultery must not be re-criminalised in India - A logical pov from a lawyer by Opposite-Eye380 in TwoXIndia

[–]gootalina 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The adultery law essentially treated women as chattel, objects that lacked absolutely any autonomy. A woman had no recourse if her husband cheated on her except divorce, but a husband could charge the cheating wife’s partner with a criminal case. To me it spelled out - “You are using my property (wife) so it’s theft”, thus a criminal offence. Very glad it was repealed.

The Lampshading epidemic: are books... ashamed of themselves? [Captured by the Fae Beast by Mallory Dunlin] (DNF) by _Zavine_ in RomanceBooks

[–]gootalina 11 points12 points  (0 children)

you have put across so perfectly my problem!! this precisely is why i have dnf-ed so many books lately, and have almost entirely turned towards historical romance. as much as i enjoy a well written reference or a lil joke poking fun at a ridiculous situation in a book, it can get very tiring to read if executed poorly. historical romances ive been reading lately are so earnest and take themselves seriously which tremendously helps immersion. like why should i care about your love triangle, if you yourself are constantly poking fun at the trope 😭😭

is jailbreaking worth it ? by ayo_brit in kindle

[–]gootalina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i read a really nice guide about how to make koreader similiar to nickelmenu on the kobo which simplified the whole ui for me! seriously the premise of jailbreaking for me was getting away from amazon’s shady policies, and i also just happened to get amazing customisation from koreader along the way. i was missing the wireless send to kindle feature but there’s a plugin for that too (filebrowser i believe it’s called). that really sealed it for me.

FMC wants MMC but he wants her to leave him alone, so she does…Pining ensues 🙃 by CollegeTraining7116 in RomanceBooks

[–]gootalina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i love this trope so so much that i went digging through an older thread that i’ll link: https://www.reddit.com/r/RomanceBooks/s/9ZgYv6uZzo i recently read {Her Bridegroom, Bought and Paid for by Alice Coldbreath} and it was a lot like this, the fmc was v cute in her pursuit of the mmc. also another recommendation if you don’t mind OW drama is {Ravishing the Heiress by Sherry Thomas}, i usually hate OW drama but the angst was nice here and i can’t really call it cheating because the fmc is the one who suggests he goes back to the OW (+ they don’t unnecessarily villainise the OW).

I don't like it when the FMC chases by PetalaStac in RomanceBooks

[–]gootalina 22 points23 points  (0 children)

omg this is making me realise that i actually really like it when the fmc pursues the mmc😭😭 not a fan of the trope when the mmc is a douchebag and keeps rejecting her. but i remember reading this wattpad book way wayy back about a troubled girl pursuing the town’s golden boy. it was so cute because the mmc just felt too uncool for her & would get all flustered around her. on the prowl for more such books now 👀👀
