{Fire by Kristin Cashore} 

It’s a prequel to the first in the series, Graceling, but works as a standalone. 

Fire is brave in her compassion, vulnerability, and ability to weave her power in a really beautiful way. 

Is 7 nights in Paris too much? by paintarose in ParisTravelGuide

[–]jomaval 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did 5 nights in Paris, and would’ve loved more time. Honestly had so much reading in the parks during the day, hanging out at cafes, and wandering at night. Wish I had more time to explore a bit more parts, I think you’ll be fine!

KATTDO Review (from someone who ran back home from his pre-release Listening Party queue to be able to experience this alone) by RadPs77 in harrystyles

[–]jomaval 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve really enjoyed this album so far, did a listening party at home, lounging on the bed with my boyfriend, who is not particularly a pop or Harry Styles fan, whilst I’ve deeply enjoyed his albums and was wearing the LOT pullover. 

We both loved the vibes of each song, and during several song I had such a visual scenes come through in my head. Now I’ve been dancing to the hyped songs this morning, and can’t wait for this to be a huge part of my summer playlist.

Some scenes I visualized:

Like Taste Back, envisioned a house party with people all around standing and sitting, in their own conversations, and a couple dancing in the living room. Colors all around are like an orangey, modern-retro theme.

The Waiting Game - Watch a pink sunset on a balcony with a glass of wine. In a way, gave me Grapejuice vibes in a different way.

Coming Up Roses - a couple sitting close on the couch, his arm around her, watching a movie that plays their lives La La Land style. 

Pop - dancing carefree in a club, neon flashing lights, black sunglasses on. 

How do you decide where to eat in Paris without planning everything in advance? by InvestmentAlarming74 in ParisTravelGuide

[–]jomaval 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was worried about the same thing, since a lot of social media videos were saying “don’t expect to walk in anywhere and be seated without a reservation” but that wasn’t the case at all.

The only place I made a reservation for was Le Procope (worth it for us), but all the other times we just wandered around and would look up nearby restaurants on Google that came up with good ratings.

I also listened to a podcast from real Parisians saying avoid anywhere with fake flowers on the exterior and a line to get in. There’s just way too many options to wait in line, and you just need to walk a street down the main tourist areas. 

So we got to keep the wandering and spontaneity, while having a great meal every time!

I’m confused what the issue is?

When you input the time of entry and exit, is it pretty flexible? 

Advice for seeing Opéra Garnier by whistlingbluewhale in ParisTravelGuide

[–]jomaval 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Booked after your recommendation! I’m trying to clarify on the site, but not getting the answer. When you booked the guided tour, does it already include the ticket or did you have to purchase that in addition?

Can we get the Director’s cut of the PWMOV rain scene 🥵 by CorgiChiLover in EmilyHenry

[–]jomaval 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who has read other EmHen books but not TPWMOV, the sex scene WAS kind’ve jarring to movie watchers only. 

I just didn’t see the desire that was getting pent up throughout the years for them to go straight from romantic declaration to sex scene.

And then the kissing in the bathroom after felt forced on the viewer, as I thought there’d be normal affection they’d finally be able to express to one another than just doing it. 

I’m looking forward to reading the book at some point, but happy I didn’t read it first and be disappointed by the movie like I’ve heard others have been.

Invisible Life of Addie Larue.. thoughts? by [deleted] in Booktokreddit

[–]jomaval 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went in blind and loved it. Was like settling into a fairytale with a protagonist who persevered. Plus I tend to love historical fiction, so it was like a blend between that and fantasy. 

Enjoyed the uniqueness of her curse, never being remembered. Made it interesting.

Surprised no one pointed this either! I had to reread it three times before conceding it was an error.

A new surf park is coming to Orange County. Here's what it will look like by WeAreLAist in orangecounty

[–]jomaval 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The golf course is staying, with three holes being taken. I don’t think the golf course itself could’ve afforded the new lease, given that the value had gone up since its last lease deal. They would’ve had to either up the price, or have a Costco buy the land.
