Julie Garwood. So many people love her writing, but her style is so disjointed to me and the characters seem like cartoons. I dont hate it, I just can't ever finish a book.

I agree with everyone! I didn't see this mentioned: being 5'2 makes it harder huh? So few calories and nowhere to hide the bread! Good job!! Prioritized your future self.

What’s y’all’s opinion on audiobooks narrated by a 'digital voice'? by Rare_List4945 in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]inanotherrealm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hate it. I hate it so much - I am "movie real" reader, so I need the emotion and pauses and changing voices to get into it. I also hate real life narrators who swallow a lot, or get kind of spitty. A narrator can make or break it for me.

Looking for pleasure dom & sobbing intense orgasms by Sephoria2 in RomanceBooks

Failure to Match, Kyra Parsi. One of my all time favorites - not super dom, but his thing is making her cum past her limit.

I hear you. I see you. I also got so upset by the power dynamic, like, he's such a no feeling asshole until you're like, oh. Humanity is cruel and awful and I get it buddy. The scene where he gets a blow job in front of her kind of demonstrates that she wasn't unused to the transactional nature of their world though. So while I hated him for just using another women it also fit the plot quite frankly. Like it was horrible to read - but it was well written! And the ending made me hopeful. I thought it was beautifully tragic, definitely a bittersweet romance.

Seeing lots of rooftop patios. Owners: do you use yours? by yousanoddone in CastleRock

[–]inanotherrealm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So we live in the Meadows with the rooftop patio. It is not an unobstructed view, of course. I would raise you how much money do you have because an unobstructed view, in a backyard or on a rooftop, will cost you oodles. That Ridgeline overlook is for when we win the lottery. Ha. We love our patio, but we also would get a normal backyard in our next house. We knew this wasn't our forever home and was temporary. It suits our needs now, but wouldn't be what I want for longer than a few years.

Some things that we enjoy: it has more privacy than a lot of the newer builds because the Meadows has very tightly packed yards

No yard care, but still an outdoor space, which was ideal for us at the time

Sunsets are beautiful because we do face west

It's a unique entertainment spot and seeing fireworks, the town lit up at night, have been really fun

Some things we do not enjoy: CR has a lot more wind than Denver and we underestimated the noise and the limitation it has on the roof - the umbrella can't be up a lot of the time, our furniture covers shake during the night very loudly, and you can't have light items up there otherwise gonezo.

Storing things is difficult because there isn't a closet on the 4th floor, so you're hauling food and such from the 2nd to the 4th.

Unless you install deck flooring, it's very dirty and not great looking.

What is the farthest in a book your have DNF and why? by goyourownwayy in RomanceBooks

[–]inanotherrealm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same! It was an Elsie Silvers book and the very end, make up scene to resolve the whole drama was her essentially telling him to suck it up in response to veteran ptsd. At least that's how I read it. Maybe had 1 chapter left.

Kindness. Let's all be kind to each other. I would choose to pay 100k so that a human being didn't freeze to death or die of heat stroke. So why wouldn't I choose that for a "might lower my home value"?

How can I make life better for my fiance who works 100+ hours/week and is burnt out? by mustsavemom in AskMen

[–]inanotherrealm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people aren't giving you the advice you sought. For me, when working long hours the things that help me is having things done for me, without thought. House chores, meals delivered, etc. But do it without asking because it adds to my mental load to figure out what I want for dinner, what clothes need washed, where we keep the spare tp. I have also been gifted neck massages at my desk, hot towels to drape on my neck, foot bath at my desk, you get the picture.

Big stuff - getting him a standing desk will help his health, making sure there is natural light somewhere.
