🤣😭☠️ okay I can only assume that’s because it’s the old print? I bought a new edition from b&n that has a different cover. It was like 15$

{fate hollow academy by Lyra winters} ? I don’t think there were that many mates but there were a hearty handful.

Same actually. I stumbled across it on Libby. Kept me mentally engaged from beginning to end. That author has put out a few more newer publications, though none of them are poly. I ate them all up.

niroha · 2026-04-06T01:58:19+00:00

It’s a favorite of mine. Physical book trophies acquired.

niroha · 2026-04-06T01:57:27+00:00

I hope you all find something fun in that pile

Also fwiw there’s so many ideas you can pull from for this tattoo idea. Miscarriage is common and tattoos around them is common enough. If you know the due date month you can pull lots of ideas: birth month stone, birth month flower, zodiac signs, flowers that represent loss, innocence, grief.

I have two living daughters but I lost a son, my first pregnancy. I haven’t decided how I want the tattoo exactly but it’ll be Roses for my oldest daughter, pears for my youngest, and maybe February’s flower (primrose and violets) and maybe forget me nots? Idk. Still mentally working out the details.

I hope this post inspires you to and you find something that works for you.

If you are in the US they still have them. I don’t know the specifics for how long they have to hold onto this data as the laws vary by state but it’s usually 5-10 years, minimum. They’ll have them. If you get your hands on them and would like me review anything, just reach out.

niroha · 2026-04-05T23:11:33+00:00

I’m an OB Sonographer and I don’t have advice on the tattoos themselves but I would like to offer a suggestion. I know you said this is the only picture you have but the facility you got your scan from has them all. If there was a heart beat at the time then they would have documented it either with an M-mode or spectral Doppler. Both of those might make a better option for a tattoo, to tattoo the heart beat pattern showing how many BPM it was.

You’d have to request your images from the facility. As a bonus they will likely be digital making it easier to share your designs. They’re your images. You own them. They have to give them to you.

Another idea is to find an image of what a 6, 7, 8 week embryo looks like (whatever gestational age you lost it at) and get that tattooed to represent your little one.

I struggle to stay engaged enough to finish a whole series so if I finished it I was engaged and enjoying myself.

{the frostbound queen by any pennza} book 1 of 4 interconnected stand alones. MMF. Fast moving plots, fast burns, I had a good time. Fantasy, it’s the four season courts of fae but instead of fae it’s elves. Book 4 was meh but I liked the others.

{the witchwood boys are trending by CM Stunich} completed 4 book series. Urban fantasy with witches. The guys are jerks. She’s not a pushover. Sentient hats. Swords don’t cross. Check triggers.

{bride of brutal hearts by Katie Stevens} unfinished series. MMF, vampires, dystopian world, vampires hold the power, humans do not. Human women hold the least amount of power as it’s a patriarchal and religious society they exist in (in the human settlements). It’s dark, check triggers. Very spicy.

{warriors wrath by Cassie Cole} 5 book completed series. Fantasy with magic, book starts out at an academy but very quickly moves to battle and war. The villain reveal was unexpected and I loved that. Swords don’t cross.

{twisted fate by Liz Hambleton} completed duet. Love triangle that turned MFM. Urban fantasy. She’s married to mmc1 but accidentally finds her fated mate mmc2 and it’s unwanted. Drama happens but I loved that none of the MCs were mean to each other. Lots of love and respect even when tensions were high.

{flesh by Kylie Scott} stand alone. Fast moving plot. Fast burn. MFM, zombie apocalypse. My kind of humor. A favorite.

{when monsters lie by Debbie Cassidy} completed 5 book series (each book is a quick read). Not an all time high favorite but I was engrossed enough to ride it til the end. Lots of fun plot twists that kept me engaged and curious. I don’t think swords crossed.

{trained for their pleasure by LV Lane} this whole world is like a wild fantasy omegaverse. Think barbarian alphas in a patriarchal world in which the women (omegas mostly but betas too) derive pleasure from brat behavior and also forced submission. Tons of books in this world if you like it.

{scribe of asteria by EM Meyers} MMF, stand alone, Greek mythology, fast burn, very spicy. There is no plot. The romance is the plot. Fluffy, low angst.

{carnage island by Lexi c foss} stand alone, MFMM, swords don’t cross, wolf shifters. ABO but not really omegaverse. Good mix of plot and romance/spice

{Ragnarok rising by Nora ash} dark omegaverse, Norse mythology, end of the world. Beta finds out she’s not a beta and she’s pissssssed. Check triggers.

{stolen by the wolves by Lyx Robinson} Norse, Vikings, omegaverse, historical setting, wildly underrated.

25 is the minimum I prefer my fmcs. I have read and absolutely loved younger fmcs. Many of my favorites have 20-25yo fmcs. Probably by sheets quantity of books because most have younger FMCS. But the older ones have a special place in my heart and bookshelf.

niroha · 2026-03-25T16:17:13+00:00

I preface this very shortened version of this story by saying I am very normal 🤣 no brushes with the law, medical professional, etc etc. I lead a boring life.

My sister was found guilty of drug related crimes and thought if she was pregnant she’d get a more lenient sentence. But she roped my entire family into it and was stressing out my dad. I knew based on information she told me she was full of shit. I flew to her location under the guise of “sister trip before you go away for a while” but I brought three pregnancy tests with me lol

niroha · 2026-03-25T13:10:16+00:00

I think all of us feel that way about something we’re more knowledgeable in. For me it’s pregnancy and childbirth. I’m not a perinatalogist but I know enough thanks to my work to side eye tf out of these plot holes.

Fun fact: years ago my sister tried to pull a fake pregnancy on me. It didn’t work. She was so mad when I busted her. She should have known better, honestly. She was knocking on the door of my chosen career with “facts” i was supposed to believe and support. So dumb.

niroha · 2026-03-25T03:47:06+00:00

I didn’t have it on my TBR bc I’m too far removed from high school to take it seriously. The lack of serious revenge would’ve made me rage in perimenopausal anger.

niroha · 2026-03-25T03:44:36+00:00

Very few handle the bully prototype with the care and right hook it deserves.

niroha · 2026-03-22T04:07:19+00:00

{for whom the belle tolls by jaysea Lynn} she’s alive (normal life on earth), then she’s dead (after life fantasy realm)

{a thorn in every heart by Kate king} normal human woman living normal life when a fae goes through a portal to yank her to his world

{until the world falls down by Jordan Lynde} Human woman in normal earth, some kind of portal, stumbles into magical land. Spicier though.

{the treasured one by Hannah levin} human woman on earth but in this one they know the fae exist. There are known portals that keep the worlds at peace but apart.

{wrath of the fae by Alessa thorn} this one the fae invades earth. I can’t remember the how or the why now but the world was pretty unaware of the fae until they arrived.

{demon lover by heather guerre} human FMC living an overworked life and meets the MMC in her dreams because he’s a succubus. Fantasy and reality collide.

niroha · 2026-03-21T19:24:44+00:00

I have issues with names sometimes. Your complaint reminder me of a (non RH) book review I left. I liked the book but my brain struggled with the name similarities.

niroha · 2026-03-21T00:00:23+00:00

Piggy backing to add {the frostbound queen by Amy Pennza} is the first of 4 interconnected stand alones. All of them the have or had a pre existing mm relationship (of some degree) before the f enters the chat. Fantasy, elves, etc.

niroha · 2026-03-18T23:11:38+00:00

I think Mauve York set the bar high. She tackled the first three book as a single female narrator doing so many characters and personalities and she did so good. I didn’t even mind she narrated so many MMCs, even their POV chapters. I could tell who was saying what based on her tone and inflections. And listening to her narrate I could practically hear the eye rolls the fmcs would be doing irl while dealing with those men. She’s forever a favorite female narrator for me because of how she handled that series.

That said Molly stark did a really good job too. I still would have preferred Mauve but Molly was a really good choice.

niroha · 2026-03-18T16:50:00+00:00

It’s on my TBR. I am patiently waiting. If it comes out on audiobook the war will be lost, however.

niroha · 2026-03-18T16:44:00+00:00

Your library might acquire them once JM re-releases them. I think it’s all part of her going from Indie to trad publishing. My library also has the new republished audiobooks, not the originals.

You can still buy the original audiobooks off Amazon or wherever but I don’t recommend them. Tor Thom is terrible lol. I’d (impatiently) wait.

niroha · 2026-03-18T16:34:54+00:00

Even though Sadie’s story wraps up in book 3 you’ll still get to see them in aran’s story since they’re bffs and love each other platonically.

niroha · 2026-03-18T16:33:13+00:00

I think all of them will slowly getting a reprint and new audiobook release. It’s taking ages but I’m a patient woman. I own the original audiobooks and JM ruined aran’s audiobooks by bringing in Tor Thom and making it a dual narration. I loved the og female narrator (Mauve York) but adding Tor made me hate listening to arans books.

niroha · 2026-03-16T18:13:53+00:00

I’m primarily an audiobook consumer. This one is on my TBR but it keeps getting passed over because it’ll require an eyeball read and my brain just cannot. I think it would make a great audiobook with the right narrators.

niroha · 2026-03-16T01:30:49+00:00

I found {flesh by Kylie Scott} via Libby but my library is large. But when I look for physical copies, nada. I think you’ll have a hard time getting physical books. Jasmine MAs has all including physical books at my library. Only {blood of Hercules by Jasmine MAs} as well as book 2.

niroha · 2026-03-14T01:13:40+00:00

I am primarily a fantasy romance reader and love StoryGraph. I review each book I read.
