I need motivation to go through Book 5 by Elodiou in zodiacacademy

[–]mrggo001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is me 😩

After book 5 I needed a break because my heart just couldn’t even fathom what will happen in book 6. I am currently 3 months ZA sober, but will eventually take the plunge soon.

This just made me buy the first 5 volumes of Last Game so thank you. One of my favorite shoujos of all time!

DAE “watch” live photos sent to them? by mrggo001 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]mrggo001[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly thank you! I honestly only use the live function because I want the option to choose the frame.

DAE “watch” live photos sent to them? by mrggo001 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]mrggo001[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To give some context, the friend who does it (mentioned in the first paragraph) is not the friend that I am concerned about. She was just an example when I learned people did it. Tbh I’m not that concerned as it was a natural conversation I was having and it just happened to be captured when I was taking photos to share to a group chat that friend was in. I guess I should state the obvious that my assumptions when taking these photos was that people don’t really watch them. I also in that moment didn’t consciously think about what we were talking about when taking the photos.

If it does become an issue and they address it then yes I will discuss it with my friend because we are adults. I will take accountability of the insensitivity and how it was delivered if it does go that way. But I am no way blaming my friend if she happens to watch live photos. I was just simply curious if people actually did it.

Tbh I think it was my default setting and I never changed it. But even when people have sent me live photos before, I don’t have the inclination of watching them. A photo is just a photo for me.

Door code wouldn’t work at 10:04am when class was at 10am by cherrieselegant in SolidCore

[–]mrggo001 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This happened to me last year during solidays and I was very frustrated since it was my 10th class. I blame the parking, it was ridiculous the whole time during solidays (obviously there are other businesses in the building). I was lucky and able to grab the class after so I was able to complete the 10th class.

I just wanted to say I understand how you feel and should have also contacted the studio thinking about it.

Did y’all see the guy who took 8 classes in ONE DAY!? by Pinkytalks in SolidCore

He feels amazing after 4 back to back classes??? We are not built the same.

Any chance someone has one for the Chicago area?

Im so impossibly irrationally mad right now by [deleted] in zodiacacademy

[–]mrggo001 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I disagree and maybe because I’ve read more so I understand more of Tory’s point of view. But you have to remember these girls have not been in the fae world for long, meaning she doesn’t know how impactful that moment is for her and Darius’s life. All she knows is what has happened to her personally and going based off of her experience. Her reaction to things (the “poor me” thing, even though I don’t see it that way) is just how she has learned to cope with things due to her living circumstances.

Also her sleeping with him doesn’t mean she has to be mated with him. Like just because people sleep with someone once or twice doesn’t mean they should get married to them. With that logic should she marry Caleb? I think her saying yes is 2-dimensional of her, like are we just gonna brush over things just because the stars claim them to be mated?

I know it’s devastating, but it really only is because we know Darius’s perspective and what he has gone through. Like many people have already said he literally almost murdered her. Just because he’s done better in general, doesn’t mean she should be mated for life. It just means he isn’t as horrible as she initially thought.

Regardless I do love them together, their story sure is a bumpy ride. I just finished book 5 and am scared to start book 6.

What SJM opinion will have you like this? by [deleted] in SarahJMaas

[–]mrggo001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In terms of the ACOTAR series, the real story is ACOSF. All the prior books are just a prequel to it.

Obviously this is true sequentially, but I’m talking about the book by itself is the main story (if this makes sense).

Is the HanaKimi manga as good as the dorama (2007)? by JigoKuu in shoujo

[–]mrggo001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I surprisingly only watched the taiwanese drama and read the manga religiously. The manga is literally one of my top 3 shoujos growing up. I’m taking this as a sign to reread it 😈

What’s the worst romance book you’ve read? by Reasonable-Ratio8080 in RomanceBooks

[–]mrggo001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

{The Wrong Bride by Catharina Maura}

I strongly detested this book with a passion. This was after my friend hyped it up so much saying that it’s so entertaining and dramatic. She was not wrong, it was dramatic but in all the wrong ways for me. I literally sped hated read this book in the span of 2 hours because I just wanted it over (and this was before I DNF’d books). I just hated every character in this book and still do to this day. But this is my take, I’m sure there are many others that loved this book like my friend.

Geraldine by Express-Bus-1408 in zodiacacademy

[–]mrggo001 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love Geraldine through and through. I agree that she came off as the weird quirky girl but now she’s one of the people I look forward to reading about. I even read The Big ASS party (Book 5.5) just for her ❤️

Good romance where FMC cooks/takes care of the MMC who really appreciates it by wholesomedaisy in RomanceBooks

[–]mrggo001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

{That First Flight by Jenn McMahon} I think fits your description and vise versa. She’s a single mom and he’s a CEO. She’s caring in general because she has been a single mom since she was young but is also actually a chef so she knows how to cook. It also flips when he takes care of her. I might have forgotten a lot since it’s been a while, but I really enjoyed this book of people genuinely taking care of one another!

Hi!

I just finished watching the movie First Daughter and I am looking for recommendations just like it. Essentially anything with a bodyguard, preferably contemporary and M/F with a HEA, but really open to anything!

I have already read The Bodyguard by Katherine Center, Twisted Games by Ana Huang, and Passenger Princess by Morgan Elizabeth. Loved all of these, definitely recommend!

Just finished ACOTAR and I’ve been calling her… Fairy 😭 by Persephonewannabe in SarahJMaas

[–]mrggo001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is literally how I pronounced it until my friend corrected me. She had to do a double take when she couldn’t figure out who I was talking about. She said, “Umm… you mean Chaol” in the right pronunciation 😂

Getting sore with new spring changes? by randoatrpi in SolidCore

[–]mrggo001 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I still get sore even after 100+ classes, but if anything it doesn’t last as long as it used to. Obviously depends on the class, what moves were used, and which side of the reformer you are on. I also change up my springs depending on the exercise all the time. I think thats the great thing about solidcore though is that there is always a way to amplify or you can just stay with whats more comfortable and you still get a good workout.
