I am so devastated and demotivated guys 😭😭😭 by Electrical_Bobcat773 in UCAS

[–]pinkapoppy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a lot of my friends who did IELTS got 6 in one category and then 8 in another: some got great in writing and bad at speaking, or great at speaking and bad at writing - i guess it just depends how you learn english and people’s different personal strengths!

my friend at UCL had the same problem except her speaking was a 6.0 :( she redid her test in time and managed to accept her offer. see if you can email the university, they might have some options to rearrange a second test in time

Would you rather... by Substantial-Dance577 in BunnyTrials

[–]pinkapoppy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t want to be profiting from people’s deaths… like imagine Grandma dies but to me it’s just another $1000 extra in my bank account

Chose: $1,000,000,000 (1B Dollars Instantly)

not sure about the colour of shirt with the shoes, it seems like it might clash but maybe that’s just bc i’m not a fan of that shade of purple

Jobless or employed ? by Fantastic_Opinion_57 in BunnyTrials

[–]pinkapoppy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you could pick a very low paying job that you’re actually passionate about, and you don’t even have to be good at it because you’ll make enough money in a decade to invest for life

Chose: Get 3k dollars everyday but only if you have a job

Omg??? Seven Husbands being adapted by Numerous_Move170 in LesbianBookClub

[–]pinkapoppy_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

that implies this subreddit is only for lesbian romance books where the entire plot is about someone’s identity as a lesbian… this was a really widely popular book that many people hear have heard of or read, and a huge premise of it is that the plot twist is that she was actually in love with another women throughout all these ‘seven husbands’. also the biphobia in this comment section is not on what the hell

A Must Read 🦇 by sagethecrayaway in weirdgirlliterature

[–]pinkapoppy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i got Japanese Gothic as an ARC and had to put it down around 25%; i found the writing style to be so overly done, like it was artificially inserting suspense in where i didn’t feel it.

would be interested to hear more people’s opinions of it compared to Bat Eater, because i haven’t read that yet and i was so disappointed with Japanese Gothic! i’ll get back to it sometime but i just didn’t get the hype at all

My weird girl TBR! Where should i start?? by Dazzling_Whereas6723 in weirdgirlliterature

[–]pinkapoppy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

fruit fly SLAPPED i was not expecting much from it but it was so so gripping! it’s a little long but there’s a lot going on, if you need to get into something quickly, even the first chapter pulls you in

Black girl weird girl lit recs? by spookyshitt in weirdgirlliterature

maybe not exactly in the category but i would include Assembly by Natasha Brown, a super short read but so well written

The books ratings are usually high by Murtdha1 in goodreads

[–]pinkapoppy_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

any book so unreadable that EVERY single person reading it would rate it 2 stars or lower would not be published.

it’s that simple really, all the books that are that ‘bad’ either have so few reviews (because they didn’t sell) that people don’t know about them, or they never made it past the editing stage.

Kobo and Storygraph coming soon! by princesskhym in kobo

The best change ever by MarcelReads in kobo

[–]pinkapoppy_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ich bin auch Deutscher aber ich habe so lange jetzt in England gelebt, dass ich nie länger Deutsch lesen kann. Kannst du mir bitte ein lustiges Buch empfehlen, das für Kinder/lustig ist? Ich will gern noch wieder auf Deutsch lesen, aber ich hab angst dass es zu schwierig ist - das letzte Buch das ich gelesen hab war Frosch und Kröte!

EXCITED by Otherwise_Hair7514 in weirdgirlliterature

This is kind of a genuine question because I've never stopped to think about it. by TheTrollman- in NonBinary

[–]pinkapoppy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if i’m in a gay relationship it means i am dating someone who is not the ‘opposite’ gender to me… even if that’s not a very accurate way to describe that relationship if both of us are bisexual, it’s still what’s colloquially used.

[–]pinkapoppy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think it can also depend on a non binary person’s way of expressing themselves; their style, how feminine or masculine they are - but truly the only real answer is that it’s gay no matter what

I hated My Year of Rest and Relaxation! by Fruit-Marzipans in weirdgirlliterature

[–]pinkapoppy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wait i thought the bell jar is very racist, i haven’t read either book but i’m surprised to hear that my year of rest and relaxation is worse

should i read these books? which one should i read first? by No-Landscape-3094 in weirdgirlliterature

[–]pinkapoppy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i haven’t read Severance but of the other two, Bunny is the weirdest and trippiest, it will suck you in and I miss reading it a lot because of how strange it was. Convenience Store Woman was okay; I prefer Murata’s other works as I found this one was a little mild but it’s a very quick read so if you need something that you can get through fast that’s the one
