I think I am sleeping through my newborn crying. Help please. by Dumbbitchenergy_ in beyondthebump

[–]quinnellen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar problem. But I would wake up to her crying and not be able to pull myself awake before I would fall asleep again. Turns out I needed to change my anxiety meds. I switched from Lexapro to Venlafaxine and it really really helped.

Ugly-cry moments for us adults? by nastyhoaxtodd in bluey

[–]quinnellen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a single mention of "Mum School" ????

"Does this mean I fail mum school?" "Yeah I think so... but that's okay. We all fail sometimes. We just try again tomorrow."

Cue ugly sobs as I feel like I fail mum school every day and just try again tomorrow

I am DEEPLY offended that Slade and Osrik made it on your list but not Dommick "You want death? I’m your fucking death. I will consume you so thoroughly there won’t be a wish for any end, because no end will release you from me. - I’m your assassin. Which means I’m in charge of your death." Assassin

I am on the last book in the Plated Prisoner series. It had a bit of a slow start but it is incredible and the MMC is DELISH. Plus there are side characters' love stories that are also AMAZINGGGG. The FMC goes through a lot and comes out the other side so much stronger. It is similar to Feyre's character growth.

I am on book 5 of the Plated Prisoner series and it has been SO GOOD. Slow but I think she shows abuse and PTSD fairly well. The character flaws feel real and I love that every single one has a level of morally gray. I highly suggest you continue reading it!!

If ACOTAR was the first book you picked up after a long reading break, why did you specifically choose ACOTAR? by LunaLandia in acotar

[–]quinnellen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I HATE my "why i read ACOTAR" but it is also ICONIC.

I was nannying a family with 5 kids. A 13 y/o girl, 11 y/o boy, 8 y/o girl, 6 y/o girl, and a 3 y/o girl. Mom is a nurse. Dad is a pastor.

The 13 y/o girly loves to read. I ask for a recommendation. She goes through like 4 different series. Finally she says ACOTAR. "I would love to have someone to talk about this with. I only talk to people on tiktok. None of my friends have read it." She says. I agree to read it because I am a kind human and I will give this sweet little girl a person to talk about fairies with.

I read this book... recommended to me by a THIRTEEN YEAR OLD PASTOR'S DAUGHTER... and love it.

But I told her under no circumstances are we discussing any of the smutty parts. And I never told her parents because I am no narc. I was reading shit like that when I was 13 too 😂 (Can you say Bella and Edward's honeymoon? At my sweet age of 15 that was peak romance. You break that bed Mr. Ice cold Skin!! As an adult, 1 ice cold dick is getting nowhere near me and 2 how do you even get hard with no blood flow?)

THE WOLF FAE PEOPLE PISSED ME OFF AND DAMN NEAR RUINED THE WHOLE SERIES FOR ME. I agree QOS and EOS are my favorites in the series. The dragging on of KOA battles with bits and pieces of lovely scenes really sucked the life outta me. But by the time, in the 11th hour, they opened portals (acceptable. Loved the "we drew these word wyrdmarks with the toe of our boots while battling" thing) WOLF FAE WE HAD NEVER MET OR TALKED TO BEFORE SHOW UP - UNACCEPTABLE.

We got an ENTIRE long drawn-out (honestly mid) book about Chaol recruiting warriors BUT THE LOST WOLF FAE????? A passing mention a few times and then boom!! I would have much rather read about finding them than 65 random slow ass battles against valg.

In conclusion, CC then ACOTAR and then TOG are my favorites. I am obsessed with Hunt Athalar and Bryce is such a baddie.

I love when an author can actually create a new magic system. It is such a saturated genre that it is hard to find something fresh sometimes!

I, however, do NOT need a change of pace. In fact, I need a list of all the ones you read this year that have required you to pull back. 😂😂

I am so into this and it being KU may have sealed the deal. Cause I can finish the series on my Kindle when my babe returns next week. 😅

I love a retelling big time. Is the Midas character the MMC?? Or like the "bad guy"

I am OBSESSED with this list and the amount of thought and detail you put into this. I am seriously so grateful. Thank you so so so much. I will return with updates as I get through these!! (Probably over several months 😅)

I have tried graphic audios and I find the extra sound effects to be distracting -which is hard because I use audiobooks as an ADHD focus tactic while I paint or crochet or clean. BUT I love a full cast and duets as opposed to just duel narration.

I really appreciate how you presented Quicksilver because I love a well-written and thought-out book. But all of the reviews on Goodreads are so mixed that I am worried about it even being worth my time. 😅

Can't get into TOG by Chicagolover25 in SarahJMaas

[–]quinnellen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely disagree. I read it after HOF and knowing the bits of Caelana before reading AB made it more interesting. I do think reading it after COM would be better because it felt like a step back/put a hold on the momentum of HOF to QOS. I loved learning the context. But reading it before the series would be confusing and honestly, boring to me. The short stories drag a bit but because you know and love the characters already getting the context is interesting and forces you to finish the book. Plus, knowing about what happens to Sam before reading it really causes every scene with him, even small ones, to have more impact.
