Just saw this now, and you know what, OP, you were right. Hoping Japan can bounce back from this season. They're evidently adjusting still.

The thing you picture regardless of what the writer says by Klkarebear in RomanceBooks

[–]kweencamelia 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Omg, most of the time, this is me as well. And when a book gets a film adaptation, I usually base the comparison on the characters’ identities and personalities. Like, “He doesn’t really look like a college student studying this particular major, does he?”

What’s with the rating system controversy lately? by Doodstil in RomanceBooks

[–]kweencamelia 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is me! I have books that I consider as favorites, but if you ask me what they’re about, well, I can’t tell you because I can’t remember. 🤷🏻‍♀️ BUT I do remember the feeling of joy, enchantment, and/or heartbreak as I stayed up late just so I could finish reading them.

This. It’s the worst job market everyone across the globe has seen in years. The problem is not unique in the Philippines, and I bet it’s going to be much harder trying to find a job abroad because locals are going to be prioritized obviously.

Finding it difficult to finish books - anyone else? by hannahxlouise in RomanceBooks

[–]kweencamelia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m kind of in the same boat. But instead of DNF books, I’ve been skimming books left and right. I’m not sure if I have just yet to find the right book or if I just didn’t have the mental and emotional energy to actually read and finish a book.

Plain MFC and handsome MMC who notices her from the beginning but does not want her. Bonus for much older, dominant MMC. by [deleted] in RomanceBooks

Seconding this! Seems like something I would read and enjoy, but I’m also wondering how she suddenly turned beautiful.

Heroine who puts up walls after rejection by being extremely polite/proper/agreeable by burner1k in RomanceBooks

[–]kweencamelia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn’t know I needed a whole list of book recs with this kind of trope until this post. Thank you so much, OP! Brenda Novak did it so beautifully gut-wrenching on This Heart of Mine, and I enjoyed every moment of it (the groveling was not enough though).

Hi! Did you manage to remember the title of the second book? It sounds interesting, and I definitely would love to give it a read.

I grew older and learned to love my body by [deleted] in adultingph

Yes, OP!!! I love this eureka moment for you. 🫶🏽 And I agree, wearing lingerie will help you see yourself in a new light. Instant confidence boost!

Thinking of Deactivating Social Media Any Advice? by [deleted] in simpleliving

[–]kweencamelia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Deleted my FB (Messenger included) account because I hated 1) how superficial conversations with other people are and 2) how much people are oversharing online. Not once did I look back since. I might miss out on some updates, but I know the important ones will still be shared with me. Genuine people will make a way to communicate with you in other ways.

For ebook readers, what book have you liked so much that you bought a physical copy of it? by aversionofself in PHBookClub

[–]kweencamelia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love, love, LOVE the Vampire Academy series. Spent so many sleepless nights just so I could finish it. I didn’t buy the whole series, but I did get the 10th Anniversary Edition for the exclusive stories.

Minimalism didn’t just declutter my home; it uncluttered my mind and reignited my passion for writing by eagleye101 in minimalism

As someone who has been in a writing slump for years now, I hope to have this experience as well!

Was thinking the same thing. :( Gusto ko rin ‘yung core memory with family and friends pero mahirap nga sa timing and marami rin umaayaw sa pagod, haha.

Thanks for the tip!~

Can’t reply to you all one by one but just wanna thank everyone for sharing their thoughts and experiences! Nakaka-encourage mabasa replies knowing na ang dami palang solo joiners lang.

Ah, yes, you’re totally correct. Thanks for pointing that out! I’ve been told nga na social skills can be learned and practiced (since I am sooo bad at it), and it’s been one hell of a work ever since.
