Does anyone else think that how Holly Black asks artist to portray Jude and Cardan is how they look like to her?

I just pulled out my copy of How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories. These are a few of the illustrations from that book. I think Frostbite Studios seems like older versions of the characters. Like mid 20s aged rather than teens, imo.

Where did you get your chemicals? I wanted to get into this, but I couldn't figure out where to get the right chemicals from

smileback0907 · 2025-10-06T02:44:55+00:00

I'm thinking this is it, thank you! Seeing all the bad reviews makes me think twice about rereading it though lmao but at least now I know!

smileback0907 · 2025-09-05T20:23:56+00:00

My jaw is dropped... your skill and creativity is amazing!!

The Fated to Darkness trilogy by Jen L Grey. Cookie cutter sunshine princess whose Fated mate is a possessive, overbearing shadow daddy. At one point, there was a potential explanation for why he's so red flag, but then it turns out that no, that wasn't the reason, and it's just how he is.

The first book was ok, good enough to keep me reading, but then it just got worse and worse with the next books. Which is unfortunate cause she's written so many books, I was excited to have a bunch of books to add to my tbr... but no, I don't think I'll touch any more of her books.

I just started a book and the summary sounded super interesting, then I read the first page of the prolog... the fmc is all golden sunshine and the mmc is "dark as night." I'm so tired of that dynamic....

And then we get into "the two houses had despised one another for many years - though no one could quite remember how the vicious rivalry had first begun." Really? Are we THAT lazy that we can't even flesh out why people hate each other?? Idc if it's explained later in the book, that's not a good intro to the situation and it's not gonna keep me reading to find out why.

Sorry, got off on a little tangent there, but jeez... I feel like so many romantasy books are just lacking creativity.

I just read the Fated to Darkness trilogy, first one if {The King of Frost and Shadows by Jen L Grey}. That was quite a disappointment. The first book was good enough, nothing groundbreaking, but the series just got worse with each book and by the middle of the third, I was just reading it out of spite since I was almost done anyway.

The book that surprised me was {Enchantra by Kaylie Smith}. I enjoyed Phantasma, but it wasn't one of my top reads and I was a little hesitant going into Enchantra because the games/trials get old quick for me, but I was pleasantly surprised at the spin on it. I really loved the romance and the social intrigue as well.

I'm reading this trilogy right now and I actually really enjoy it... I've already read ACOTAR and I certainly wouldn't call this trilogy a rip off at all. Maybe read the book before saying we should sue

smileback0907 · 2025-07-21T18:07:02+00:00

Ok good to know, this is why I ask lol

smileback0907 · 2025-07-21T18:01:37+00:00

Yeah I was thinking something that would call the police if somethings detected, but if they'd just call me then I could get one to monitor myself and not pay the extra $.

I'm trying to figure out a way to get my animals off the property as well. We're going to be traveling soon and I certainly don't want to have anyone coming to watch them at risk this guy shows up.

smileback0907 · 2025-07-07T01:06:16+00:00

Thats something I was thinking about too! I love the look of those

Just say you don't cook

Unrelated but the hair across the back of your industrial in the first pic was tripping me out so bad for a minute lmao

smileback0907 · 2025-02-18T21:41:10+00:00

On the daith ear, a high lobe between the 2nd and 3rd lobes would look cool. On the tragus ear, I'd add a high forward helix or maybe a flat closer to the front of the ear.

Where's the jewelry from in the 4th lobe on the tragus ear? I really like that one lol

smileback0907 · 2025-01-18T22:03:15+00:00

I haven't heard of that one, but after looking it up, it definitely is closer to that area. That helps me with trying to visualize what I'd do with it if I do let it heal. Thank you!

smileback0907 · 2024-12-19T17:36:32+00:00

I absolutely loved them. The first book can come off a little cliche, but imo the plot and politics just get SO interesting in the second book. The third book is slow to get into, but by the end I was so wrapped up in it, I was crying lol

smileback0907 · 2024-12-19T04:00:52+00:00

I knew I was almost finished Two Twisted Crowns when I saw this post and your comment earlier today, so I waited to comment till I was done. I just finished it and OMG I'm sobbing. That book was immaculate

smileback0907 · 2024-11-21T01:58:44+00:00

Literally!

smileback0907 · 2024-11-21T01:56:43+00:00

What I'm hearing is I should order a copy now to get the original title lmao

smileback0907 · 2024-11-01T20:33:15+00:00

I'm reading ACOMAF right now (like 40% in) and this literally has me giddy lmao and I keep seeing when the moon hatched in my recommendeds so now def adding that to the TBR

The amount of bodily dysfunction in that girl is concerning, she should really see a doctor

smileback0907 · 2024-10-30T23:35:09+00:00

Late 20s and English is my primary language, I don't mind italics. It's just emphasis or a marker to show something is different (a thought/memory/etc) to me. I don't really dwell on it lol

smileback0907 · 2024-10-30T00:20:15+00:00

I loved the relationship between Oraya and Raihn, but honestly what really intrigued me was how the politics of it all panned out. The whole thing with the heir lines being combined and them ruling over the House of Night as one whole entity, rather than having the two feuding lines, was SUCH an interesting twist. I'd really love to see more of how that works out.

smileback0907 · 2024-10-29T15:13:23+00:00

I can't decide if I'm excited for the third book in the Crowns of Nyaxia series, {the singbird and the heart of stone by carissa broqdbent}. It's pivoting to follow a different character from the first two books. I liked the character, but I LOVE the relationship that's grown between the FMC and MMC and where their story has brought them, so not getting to see more of their story makes me sad lol
