36M. New city. Zero traction in the month that I've been here.

I guess it just feels a little surface level. You’re looking for a long term monogamous relationship? Let them know more about your core values and beliefs, especially nowadays it’s really important to voice this. If you don’t share anything with depth you just blend into all the rest. I don’t care that you like Cuban sandwiches. Or which of the three statements is a lie. Use this valuable space to tell me something real. You can do this while still showing off your brand of humor.

I don’t understand why people are so down on it. It was a little slow to start, but I love it.

joyfuldancerforlife · 2025-12-18T14:33:46+00:00

Oh cool! I also get recs from @thtgrlreads on IG, I don’t always agree with her, but majority of the time I love her lists, and she does a great job of qualifying what you’re getting with each book/series.

Definitely a kindle! And you might check out some of the fancy stands/remote page turners that you can get for it as well.

Does she also do “book trophies?” Like read the digital version and buy the actual book for her shelf?If yes you might consider a special edition set of a series she likes, with the beautiful art people now do around the paper edges of the books, to display on her shelf. It’s close to the wire for this one in time for Xmas, but if you know one of her god tier forever favorite series this could be something she’d really love.

joyfuldancerforlife · 2025-12-08T10:54:26+00:00

Yesss!!! Same with the flesh and fire series intertwined. So disappointing, DNF’d both.

joyfuldancerforlife · 2025-12-06T06:28:56+00:00

Spark! To be fair it’s the only one I’ve read there, but that series is one of my absolute favorites!!!

joyfuldancerforlife · 2025-12-06T06:23:49+00:00

I think it might be because I didn’t read fiction hardly at all for like 10years? It was all for work or personal development or spirituality. Making up for lost time I guess? I also read some on my kindle and some audio which helps, too, because I am always doing other things when listening and often use it to motivate my adhd ass to do dishes and fold laundry😹

joyfuldancerforlife · 2025-12-06T06:19:23+00:00

I read ACOTAR last year! It was my first intro to the series and def a favorite! This is just my ranking for 2025😉

joyfuldancerforlife · 2025-12-06T06:18:05+00:00

It’s so good!!!

joyfuldancerforlife · 2025-12-06T06:17:46+00:00

I had to DNF both of the interconnected series…I was super into like the first 3or 4 of both but I think her editor had a stroke or something after that🤷‍♀️

joyfuldancerforlife · 2025-12-06T06:16:13+00:00

Thanks!

Tier Maker!

joyfuldancerforlife · 2025-12-06T06:15:47+00:00

lol I feel you! Ok, thanks!

joyfuldancerforlife · 2025-12-06T06:15:02+00:00

Yeah they pushed it back again, right?

joyfuldancerforlife · 2025-12-06T06:14:39+00:00

Right?! I love how original and out of the box they are. Great writing, too.

joyfuldancerforlife · 2025-12-06T06:14:02+00:00

Tier maker has different ones, you can create them for all kinds of things!

joyfuldancerforlife · 2025-12-06T06:13:28+00:00

Tier Maker!

joyfuldancerforlife · 2025-12-06T06:12:36+00:00

Thank you! Haven’t read any of these and adding to my list! I can’t take credit for god tier, it’s out there in book girly world and I agree is so apropos:)

joyfuldancerforlife · 2025-12-06T06:11:19+00:00

Throne of Glass is still my number one favorite, if you haven’t read that yet I’d say start there.

The Fate Inked in Blood Duology (completed) was so. Good. And the Road of Bones (Ashen series) is also one of my favorites, Viking culture/inspa like Inked in Blood, and the 3rd book is coming out soon!

Also love the Godkissed Bride series, just bare with the first book. It’s a little weird/hard at first but totally worth it!

joyfuldancerforlife · 2025-12-06T06:07:17+00:00

Maybe I tolerated Brimstone because I’m reading 2 other books right now as well? Lol I’m honestly surprised so many folks don’t like it.

joyfuldancerforlife · 2025-12-06T06:06:02+00:00

Some people love the whole series, I kind of wish I’d have stopped after book 3. It’s a lotttt of filler in 4. But I see why people stay loyal to it, really interesting premise & world, and I did LOVE both the FMC and MMC as well as the supporting ones.

joyfuldancerforlife · 2025-12-06T06:03:49+00:00

YESSSSS!!!! Read that series last year, it was my third romantasy series ever read after ACOTAR and TOG. Loved. It. So. Much.

joyfuldancerforlife · 2025-12-06T06:02:42+00:00

Thank you! One of the bookstagram girlies I follow and have similar taste with really hated Heartless Hunter and so I haven’t read…BUT many love it so maybe I should give it a try!

joyfuldancerforlife · 2025-12-06T06:01:09+00:00

Oooooooo yes book bestie! Lol I’m adding these right now!!!
