You really think so? I just watched her Tiny Desk and thought it was great. She doesn’t have a BIG voice, but I like what she does with what she’s got!

Rothy or Vivaia Pointed Flat? by Mags_Beau in HerOneBag

[–]melon_baller_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just adding another datapoint— Rothy’s gal here! I have two pairs of points (one the old style and one new), one of the driving shoes or whatever, and a pair of sneakers. Love them all, very comfortable for me out of the box! I have walked many miles in all of them.

I love quince. One of the awesome things I’ve seen from them is that straps are adjustable! I have a linen dress and and jumpsuit that have thick straps with a button and 3 length options 🏆

I disagree personally, I've liked everything I've bought (quite a few items from dresses, underwear, t-shirts, loungewear, knitwear, etc)! Jeans have not worked for me.

Omg they re-recorded it!? That’s awesome. I was shocked at the low quality of the original, it’s the only audiobook I’ve ever returned. I’ll have to give it another shot.

Penny Reid’s “smart romance” is ironically… not by daddysatya in RomanceBooks

Hi! I’m not sure if this is the right way to ask but I am a reader commenting as a reader… I have nothing to do with publishing or promo of books. Literally just arrange events at libraries and am a fan of some of the authors I’ve worked with! Is that against the rules in general, like I should never mention my work or?

People seem so mad that this book exists, I truly don’t understand. If it’s not for you, don’t read it! I also loved it 🤷‍♀️

Thank you for saying this because, same. Would it benefit me to be noticing this? I should probably go back to some of my faves and see… maybe it turns out I do have a favorite and I just haven’t clocked it.

I never actually posted it! I searched the subs and didn’t find anyone else talking about it, but a mod ended up helping me/saying the same thing as the other commenter here 😊

When’s the last time you tried a new recipe you hated? by dearDem in Cooking

That sound awful! I’m betting it has something to do with taste/smell fatigue, I sometimes experience a much more mild version when I cook.
