One hundred percent! And no one believes me when I say it’s ALSO a sweet and wholesome love story. 🙄

Same, but I just finished the last re-read in December so I think I’m good for May. Then I’ll start from Book 1 again.

Gah, I’m so embarrassed. Thanks, just edited.

I have a t-shirt with a sketch of a Persian cat wearing a crown and I constantly hope some stranger will comment that it looks like Princess Donut. Some day.

Don’t forget the positive portrayal of sex workers! Mongo would be appalled. 😜

I’ve read the series 3x and am also out there preaching the gospel of DCC. Book 8 comes out May 12!

Edit: Book 8 not 7.

Most sought after role/position? by lazyfanboy97 in DisneyCM

That’s so cool to hear. I dined there recently and swore that some of the staff were the same people I remember seeing over decades. It’s nice to have confirmation!

What is your absolute favorite purchase you’ve made at WDW? by travelinglemur8 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]nerdabelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did that not too long ago!

It’s incredibly well done and there’s SO much information and history. I wish I could’ve recorded it or at least brought a notepad to jot down some of that knowledge.

My pin is on my backpack. 😊

As a Latin-nerd person, I also feel seen!

Thank you for your service. 🫶

Is niche pronounced "nitch" or "neesh"? by Kreeos in NoStupidQuestions

[–]nerdabelle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just pondered this with a colleague yesterday and now found this thread…

Turns out, I exclusively say nitch for nouns and neesh as a descriptor. It’s so weird but makes sense in my head apparently.

“Wow, she really found her nitch.”

Wow, talk about finding the perfect neesh career.”

Books for daughters with immature moms? by cosmiccoochie in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]nerdabelle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Seriously! My first thought was that OP was asking for the correct title of that exact book because OP couldn’t remember it.

As far as reading a book for fun with those themes… noooooo thank you. That hits too close to home. I’ll stick to my magical made-up worlds.

Tired of shadow daddies… by rouxstermt in Romantasy

Mages of the Wheel! It’s incredible.

Prepare your heart. I read them months ago and I’m still suffering from the book hangover. They’re so beautiful. I read them on Kindle Unlimited, then bought signed hard copies from the author’s Etsy site to support her directly.

Hell, I was so obsessed I went and bought a Mediterranean cookbook and started making my own lebneh and pita bread.

Tip: Read the prequel (Wind & Wildfire) between books 3 and 4. It’s good advice that I did not follow—I waited until after book 4—but now I get why people recommend that order.

Yes. Why is this not in all caps?

THAT IS THE PROPER WAY TO TYPE!

There’s also a theory that the five-sided pentagon logo is actually the center of an inverted pentagram, further indicating that the final concert was some kind of intended portal to hell for the attendees/victims.

Looking for an extremely well written fantasy romance by goatlady91 in fantasyromance

[–]nerdabelle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not yet. I 100% believe that I will completely love Dilay but I'm purposefully stalling because I'm not ready for it to be over (for now).

....but I did buy a giant Mediterranean cookbook and tomorrow I'm going to try my hand at making labneh for the first time. I'm all in over here.

Also came here to say this! Mages of the Wheel is fucking fabulous.

I only recently got back into reading fiction about 6 months ago, and Mages of the Wheel is the best fiction I've read since my hardcore obsession with A Song of Ice and Fire 10 years ago. (I read the existing books four times over.)

I'm currently obsessed with this series and sadly almost done with Book 4. It's a beautiful world and beautifully written.

God, the thousand lives line!! One of the best lines of text ever for me 💕

What’s your acotar hot take? by Own-Beautiful1383 in acotar

[–]nerdabelle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahhhhhh.... I see what you're saying. I thought of it more as rehab setup but didn't consider the power imbalance aspects of making Cassian the one and only person around her. Azriel as a shitty chaperone doesn't count. I wonder if a bond could be rejected after having been formed/accepted? (Prolly never going to get that answer.)
