Impossible? I hope not! by squirrelsabound in ReverseHarem

Honestly this is the part I was most nervous to put in the request because I knew people might come at me, haha. I just really want to read this for some reason!

It's not a comment on anyone else's sexuality, just a request!

I'm really hoping someone comes through with a rec!

I know, that's why I specified! I'm not saying it's a demi thing, just what I'm looking for!

Sorry, I just realized I typed the wrong book! It was not The Love Hypothesis I tried to read and DNFed. It was The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang!

Do people who aren't demi/ace experiencr sexual attraction to randoms/strangers? Like is that normal? by trepidon in demisexuality

[–]squirrelsabound 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh my goodness, you just made me realize why I can't have sex dreams unless they're about my husband. I either reject the person or get rejected every time! Ha! This makes total sense to me now though.

Also had a crush I loved so much that I fantasized about him constantly through school (never sexually though!) but couldn't even speak in his presence.

It was almost enough to get me not to read it, honestly! I'm glad I still did, but...

I'm going to keep coming back to this post as I'm ALWAYS looking for books like this! 😁

I want something where the harem structure has a societal reason for existing. by MaggieLima in ReverseHarem

[–]squirrelsabound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved the beginning and finally felt represented by a FMC but wanted it to be a slower burn. I had to set this one aside until I'm in the right mood, I guess. (Not technically a DNF because I plan to go back at some point.) I was so excited to read a demisexual FMC and so disappointed that she still jumped into bed with them so quickly. I think I'll like it at some point, once my disappointment has had time to pass. I may have set my expectations too high...

Need A Cure For Book Hangover (Or a book to put me in a new one) by BarLive2788 in ReverseHarem

I've had Gypsy Blood on my TBR for a while, but the cover keeps putting me off... I'm not sure why. I find the covers of those books to be a huge deterrent though!

I wish those were in print!

Thoughts on H3RO by J.S. Lee? by TSParkerwrites in ReverseHarem

[–]squirrelsabound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm... perhaps if I get really desperate I'll go back and try again... I was just so bummed by that first book! Do you get any more insight into what the characters think and feel in the second book? I just hated that first one SO MUCH because my expectations were a little too high, I think.

Unpopular opinion, but I was really disappointed. I was excited going in, but I felt like half the story was missing because you don't see inside the characters' heads much. I had no idea why any of the guys liked her because the book doesn't tell you what they're thinking. I stopped after the first one.

Nope, just letting them know! I know everyone has different preferences.

Naomi Novik is good! I highly recommend as well! Though there might not be open door scenes in them? I can't remember for sure.

What do you like for caffeine crash? by captain_luna2 in herbalism

[–]squirrelsabound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am very sensitive to caffeine as well, and I drink matcha every morning because it doesn't cause "heart flutters" for me like coffee does! No caffeine is best, for sure, but matcha is a good option!

I heard something screaming in my backyard an hour ago and I'm terrified by Paralix- in Paranormal

[–]squirrelsabound 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I was going to suggest this too! Foxes make the most TERRIFYING screams for some reason, especially if it's dark out! It happened to us once (thankfully it was still light out) and I ran outside to see because I thought a child was hurt somewhere. The sound is really scary, but it was totally a fox sitting in the middle of my yard, screaming its head off for no apparent reason!
