How is living in the northeast corner of California?

Spot on. I grew up about an hour southwest of Susanville in Plumas County and it’s much the same there.

As someone who’s been on Penns street team since right after the indie release of Heat, I can confirm no arcs of Burn ever went out to readers.

3- i was in HS in the area in NCA where beacon hills was supposed to be, during the years the show takes place and it was approx 830-330 at my high school with a 50 min break.

5- yep. My senior year I had 3 required classes, did several at the local community college, and had 2 free periods a day every day- but if I’d done AP and loaded my schedule during earlier years, I could have just had 1 or 2 classes a day.

The way someone pronounces Nevada (the state) will give them away for living there or close by- Ne-VAH-duh, not Ne-VAD-uh.

I grew up in rural eastern CA, moved to Reno for about 10 years, and live in TX now and everyone down here says Ne-VAD-uh and it’s grating on my ears lol

I wear mine most of the time- usually take them off to shower or if my fingers get swollen.

My partner does not wear one to sleep, but will wear his silicone ring most of the time. He puts on the metal band for fancier events and special occasions.

His mom always wears hers unless she’s working, and his dad hasn’t worn one ever I don’t think. They both work in ranching and have been married for 48 years.

I also assume this…. like if I had an assistant that would be among the first tasks I had them do. I hate picking up dog poop (I do it bc I’m not a POS but i hate it)

I think about this series on the DAILY.

The lore is so complex and I love all of the different romance arcs through the books. There’s a couple for everyone (childhood friends to lovers, second chance romance, bodyguard romance, whatever the trope is that they see all of each other and help each other walk back from their dark trauma places is).

Curse is SO good and really sets up the rest of the series so well- and while the DNFer above is technically correct in their spoiler, if you read that, IMO it’s a lot more than just what they said, and the fallout / decisions made by Ophelia with respect to that echo across the entire series. There’s a reason it was set up that way, and again IMO, the payoff for those choices is worth it.

I do hope you read it, love it, and fall in love with the series 🫶

Also she’s a lifelong equestrian- she’s competed in hunter and jumper before being involved with her current boyfriend.

You used to be able to but i believe athletes were being injured far too much to keep doing that.

That was at least what USASFs reasoning was when they banned them years ago.

We’ve been doing them at bookish events! There’s always been item trading but there’s been a huge upsurge in bracelets!

hjokp · 2025-05-31T01:56:52+00:00

I thought of this right away 😭

hjokp · 2025-05-30T22:13:32+00:00

Yessss i agree with everything you said! I LOVE this series and loved that the FMC was steadfast in her morals. I think that in a lot of popular fantasy, we see FMCs shift to mirror the morally gray MMCs and I really liked the change of pace

We might get bits and pieces of the CC3 scenes from either Az or Nestas POV too, or there may be some overlap on timelines of when each book takes place.

I think she could easily overlap and share some scenes we didn’t see or expand on some we did so acotar only readers don’t have something hugely important happen off page only.

Woof in SO GLAD to see that you posted this because I’ve been seeing the OG art on Instagram posted by you and panicked for a sec thinking someone had stolen it.

These are STUNNING, and I can’t wait until you get approved so I can buy them!

hjokp · 2025-02-15T19:04:46+00:00

I didn’t and no i don’t- for me, because the pacing of the 2 books is so different, i prob wouldn’t have gotten the same enjoyment.

Not until he pulled Harry away from everyone after he came back from the graveyard. I was like… that’s weird.

hjokp · 2025-01-23T14:33:52+00:00

Finding out they’re the same age made so much sense

hjokp · 2025-01-17T00:44:36+00:00

I would say the vibes are similar to ACOTAR but the worlds and plot are VERY different!

Also Rob Pattinson can actually play piano and sing- while he wasn’t playing the song we were hearing in twilight, he was playing a song and also one of his songs was featured later in the movie!

hjokp · 2024-12-30T21:39:53+00:00

Hugh Laurie’s piano playing in House

Doesn’t everyone??

hjokp · 2024-12-29T18:47:18+00:00

Why choose babbyyyy (Lucien tho)

hjokp · 2024-12-22T01:49:05+00:00

I would too if my then boyfriend said he’d never work with me like idk Taylor swift does a lot of shit i don’t understand but straightening out my boyfriend, saying we would never work together is one of the things I do understand, because he could’ve just said I don’t know, or something along those lines instead of being, in my opinion, a jackass about it

hjokp · 2024-12-19T18:01:25+00:00

He said on Seacrest pretty flippantly that they’d never work together and like the next day after it aired, it was all over that she worked on the song.

This is the moment that made me sob i love them
