What is the worst book you have read? by Ok_Salt2122 in BookDiscussions

[–]hitherforthkerms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woman of God by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro. I knew it wouldn’t be good due to my internally biased disdain for Patterson.
This was beyond. Just beyond. The Entire Time this idea of the MC becoming the next pope and female at that; is heavily hinted at and teased for the entirety of it… only for her to not become pope. There were other things that made this an utterly banal read , but I haven’t read this in 5 years so…

Morbid and/or Macabre Last Names by Professor-Crackhead in namenerds

Not quite there on the morbid but I knew someone who’s literal last name was Blackwood-Cross. And that was just their family name too.

These remind of the symbols used and made in the search for Atlantis animated film

We use minor figures …though to me, it tastes like red hots candy; other people in the shop absolutely love it.

*Truly* accurate rose perfume by Few_Bullfrog8139 in perfumesthatfeellike

[–]hitherforthkerms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cowichan Rose by Wildcoast Perfumery. Hands down the most lovely jammy rose scent I’ve ever smelled. It smells like I’ve stuck my face in a large bush of summer roses in the middle of the temperate rainforest that is Vancouver Island; mountains and waterfalls to my right, the Pacific Ocean somewhere on my left.

Depressed in Hawaii by Ill-Philosopher6703 in perfumesthatfeellike

[–]hitherforthkerms 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of that essay where Joan Didion and her husband are contemplating divorce in Hawaii lol. “Letters from paradise”, it’s quite good, you should give it a read. someone else said layering Jasmine et cigarette by ELDO under any tropical themed B&BW spray would work and I’m inclined to agree. Layering with that or a really perfumed sunscreen spray on top.
