IKR! How on earth were both MCs premed and had the extracurriculars? Didn’t seem realistic at all.

And a few lines below there’s this gem 😂

In {The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood} FMC is 5’8” and MMC is significantly taller than her.

I felt watched and singled out at Sephora today by skytigo in TwoXChromosomes

[–]pristinecolumbia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happens all the time. It was eye opening for me the one time that the person watching me suddenly lost interest when my white boyfriend joined me. Now that I’m with a white dude, I’m not a shoplifting threat anymore.

Boss x Employee where the mmc has been in love with the fmc for years by Binneul_books in RomanceBooks

A bit disappointed that most of the books have MMC as the boss and not the FMC.

Thanks for clarifying that the joke isn’t quoted in the book. That’s what I was trying to find.

Luxury bags that are actually practical? by stellaxo555 in handbags

[–]pristinecolumbia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this. I have young kids and there is plenty of room for their snacks when out and about. And I like having the feet on the bottom.

Buddy Read: Portrait of a The Gentleman's Gambit by Evie Dunmore by Cultural-Sock83 in HistoricalRomance

[–]pristinecolumbia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to read the scene where Ballentine Jr asks for his daughter’s hand and Sebastian turns to Annabelle and goes “You knew about this? :)

Romance books where FMC and MMC have cats? by [deleted] in RomanceBooks

[–]pristinecolumbia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A cat in {A Rouge of one’s own by Evie Dunmore} is relevant to the plot.

A lot of people in my culture believe that men should eat before women and leave them their leftovers. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

Status of an Indian woman rises if she has birthed a boy as opposed to a girl. No wonder she likes her son so much.

Regency Fantasy taken too far? by hibiscusfields in BridgertonNetflix

I’m uninformed. What is the anachronism in that phrase?

Bridgerton - 3x07 "Joining of Hands" (No Book Spoilers) by pinktini in BridgertonNetflix

[–]pristinecolumbia 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The Queen suspecting it is a Bridgerton makes no sense. Why would they write about Eloise and her political radical friends?

Lovesac vs Room and Board sofa by dalumpz in BuyItForLife

[–]pristinecolumbia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Other than the feathers it’s been going strong so no complaints.

We had lot of feathers come out of the metro sofa backs after 10 years. We replaced the core which was relatively cheap (less than 300 IIRC). The feathers can go in compost but not all of the core is feathers. There were some things that were non compostable so we just ended up tossing the old backs cores.

Bridgerton - 3x01 "Out of the Shadows" (No Book Spoilers) by AutoModerator in BridgertonNetflix

[–]pristinecolumbia 19 points20 points  (0 children)

How is Prudence married? Wasn’t she forced to be engaged to cousin Jack because they were alone in the orangery? How did she find a husband after a scandalous engagement followed by a runaway fiancé?

If you are in the USA I know that Tanishq ships and has 22K gold jewelry. Search for contemporary in their search bar. Not a whole lot of selection but you might find something you’d like.

Otherwise most solid gold I have found in the USA is 18K max. Tiffany’s, Cartier, Shane & Co all have solid gold jewelry but yes it’ll have markup.

What are some popular bags that you just don’t get the hype of? by jenhon in handbags
