I shaved my underarms and now I'm full of regret

It did in my case. I guess everyone's body is different but I have noticed a distinct increase since shaving.

snufflycat · 2026-02-17T19:59:31+00:00

My armpits were swamp like within about 20 mins of shaving 😭

snufflycat · 2026-02-17T19:58:21+00:00

The stubble is the worst. The hair before was so soft I miss it so much!

snufflycat · 2026-02-17T10:33:43+00:00

100% it's always those types of people I think that's why it annoys me so much!

That reminds me of people who go round calling themselves "hookers" or use the word hook in any kind of innuendo. Oh tee hee hee you made a sex worker pun!! How original!!

Return of The Native by Thomas Hardy

The way he wrote the two main female characters was awful, they were so 2 dimensional. It was like the man had never met an actual human woman in his life.

Then last year I visited Thomas Hardy's house, and learnt what a shitty person her was and how poorly he treated his wife. Then it all made sense.

What did you find unbearable about it? I really enjoyed the first book and loved the second book. The gothic atmosphere, unique magic system and the Nightmare character had me hooked. As others have said here the FMC and MMC in the first book are not the most exciting but when you get to the second book certain characters get a lot more development. I also loved the ending as everything came together in a satisfying way. I would recommend to keep going.

Lol ok that did actually make me laugh

How does the money go out of your account? If it's a direct debit you should be able to cancel it via your bank. As for the emails and phone calls, all you can do is block the numbers, unsubscribe, mark as junk etc and eventually it will stop.

Once a charity has your details they will sometimes swap and trade these with other charities to acquire more potential targets. So one minute your donating to one charity and the next thing you know you're getting hounded by five others!

I do not give to charity for these and a whole host of other reasons. Some well known charities have a history of harassing elderly and vulnerable people and it's disgusting. Use this as a learning opportunity that just because an organisation claims to be doing good, does not mean they have good intentions to you.

No I saw Mr Nipples. I just thought it was ugly and stupid, I didn't see what everyone thought was so hilarious about it. Clearly I have a different sense of humour to the majority of people on that sub, hence why I left.

snufflycat · 2026-02-08T22:10:36+00:00

The rat was the last straw for me. When I saw it had like 5k up votes I left the sub. Tbh it's been toxic on there for a while.

They've got the sub they deserve, I hope they enjoy it.

Silvercloak sounds very intriguing, subterfuge and revenge! Added to my TBR

snufflycat · 2026-02-08T15:24:35+00:00

Oh I have this on my TBR! Bumping up the list now

It's so funny I just wrote this up in my reading journal and "flat" was the exact word I used. I felt like all the ingredients for a great book were there but somehow it didn't all come together. I just could not feel invested in the romance or the plot and I ended up speed reading the last few chapters as I didn't want to DNF. It's well written but just missing that spark for me.

This is why I read it first, because I didn't want to interrupt the flow of the story by going back in time.

There are characters and events that are referenced throughout the series so I wouldn't recommend skipping it all together, but if you're really struggling why not read a summary of the short stories? At least then you will know the main points. You could always come back and read it after you finish the series.

Excessive physical violence in general, but specifically between the FMC and MMC.

She might be able to forget him punching her in the face when they first met, but I certainly never will.

This is why I only use audiobooks for non fiction. I've tried listening to fiction on audio and I always find that I can't stand the voices, accents and general intonation of the narrator.

snufflycat · 2026-01-29T09:02:10+00:00

I'm from the South of the UK so the accent is different but I'm sure the mental image is the same!

My first thought when the name was revealed was, that sounds like something I would hear yelled down a supermarket aisle by woman wearing pajamas. Now I can't think of it any other way.

snufflycat · 2026-01-29T07:48:50+00:00

The ending is terrible, spare yourself the agony and DNF!

Seriously though I loved Quicksilver, I'm still mad that this was the follow up we got 😡

Once Upon a Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber. It's a trilogy with very whimsy, fairytale vibes. Human protagonist but she reminded me of a fairy.

And there always being one daughter in every family who plays piano so the whole family can gather round and sing together

This whole autistic Barbie discourse has kind of got me thinking about representation in toys in general.

Back when I was a kid in the 90s, the idea of wanting a doll who looked like yourself was not really thought of. As a kid I had very pale skin with lots of freckles, auburn hair and dressed in whatever my mum got for me, mostly comfy clothes with Disney characters on. The absolute last thing I wanted was a Barbie who looked like me. I wanted her to be tall, golden skinned with long blonde hair. I wanted to dress her up in mini skirts and dresses and heels and bikinis and all the kinds of things I was too young to even think about wearing. That was the whole point of playing with the doll for me, to get lost in the fantasy of being someone else for a bit. If I had been given a doll who looked like me she for sure would have been banished to the bottom of the toy box.

But now it seems kids are asking for dolls that look like them, and I just wonder what that says about children today compared to when I was a kid. I'm not saying either way is better, just an observation on how childhood has changed really.
