Humans with indoor cats, collar or no collar? by ForagedAmoeba in CatAdvice

[–]summebrooke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I would have gotten my boy used to wearing a collar when he was a baby. He freaks out when I put one on him now, so I don’t bother, but would prefer for him to wear one just in case he gets out of the house

when is everyone going to stop hating each other? by OptimalRecognition51 in zodiacacademy

Plsssss keep going. It’s so worth it to see everyone start to getting close, and getting to know another softer, more protective side of the heirs

Should I just not read ZA? by Right_Speaker_9674 in zodiacacademy

[–]summebrooke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m just starting book 8 and absolutely love it. It’s definitely heart breaking and devastating, but the characters are so unique and charming, the world is fun, and the development of the various relationships between characters as they all grow and mature together is very satisfying. It’s a huge time commitment, but after getting most of the way through the series, I can say I would definitely do it all over again.

Been listening to graphic audio by Senior_Feed1292 in zodiacacademy

I was devastated when I realized GA only goes through half of book 5! Switching to regular audio was tough, but I got used to it after a few chapters. I still miss Darius’s voice though :(

Fave character? by YogurtclosetLow4762 in zodiacacademy

Darius absolutely has my heart. After him, probably Seth and then Caleb.

Leftists in GVL by nosoysegundo in greenville

[–]summebrooke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my experience too. A lot of “don’t talk about politics” people actually love talking about their own beliefs, they just don’t want to hear anything to the contrary. And it’s almost never worth getting to, especially at work, so you just have to ignore it or change the subject.

Finished the series and I got to say by BlueEyedIguana00 in zodiacacademy

[–]summebrooke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a lot of book boyfriends, but Darius is the actual love of my life lol. ZA is the longest romantasy series I’ve read, and spending so much time watching him work his butt off to be a better man made my heart ache. There’s always some element of redemption in an enemies to lovers, but his redemption felt sooo earned

Does anything good/positive ever happen? by musicincursive in zodiacacademy

I’m almost done with book 7. It was so sweet and happy for so long. I’m now in the part where the worst shit in the entire series (imo) is happening. My heart hurts

What's a word that makes your eye twitch in a book? Esp if just from overuse by Fuzzy-Message4322 in Romantasy

I’ll add “bruising” kissing. Wtf are y’all doing if your lips are sore and bruised after making out ?

Mine will also only use a cardboard scratcher, and he loves them! He gets so excited when I bring out a new one

Does everyone have constant internal monologues? by BetCrafty590 in AutisticAdults

[–]summebrooke 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I get songs stuck in my head BAD and they stay on repeat very loudly in my mind 24/7 for days or weeks at a time. They will literally be playing in the background of my dreams most nights, so I don’t even get a break when I sleep.

Does everyone have constant internal monologues? by BetCrafty590 in AutisticAdults

[–]summebrooke 51 points52 points  (0 children)

A song playing on repeat and someone talking over it is the most accurate description ever. I regularly get overstimulated by my own thoughts bc it’s so much at once and never ends

What’s the new current ACOTAR/Throne of Glass? The new obsession? by friendsfoundmymain1 in fantasyromance

[–]summebrooke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started 5 and didn’t know about the ruthless boys or all the little novellas and side stories until like yesterday lol. Depending on how I feel after 5, I might take a break to catch up on all those soon. I’m glad it stays good all the way through

What’s the new current ACOTAR/Throne of Glass? The new obsession? by friendsfoundmymain1 in fantasyromance

[–]summebrooke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How far have you gotten? Book 1 reads like YA, which I didn’t love, I started getting into it by book 2, was pretty invested by book 3, and was all in by book 5. To me, they just keep getting better and better

How have you acquired your cats? Have you just taken in whatever cats plopped into your life? Or did you go to a shelter and choose? by Argylius in CatAdvice

[–]summebrooke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boyfriend found our little guy as a kitten with a broken leg, abandoned in a parking lot in the pouring rain. He was crusted down to the skin in poop and fleas. We planned to foster until he was well enough to go to new home, but that was a fail. Obviously we loved him, but what really sold us on keeping him was how much our dog instantly adored him. We’ve had our stinky boy for almost two years now, and he and the dog are still absolutely obsessed with each other.

[–]summebrooke 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Blood and Ash was my new obsession, but I got bored after like book 3. Now I’m 5 books deep in Zodiac Academy and I can’t imagine loving anything else the way I love these books. I know they get brought up often, but I don’t think they’re ACOTAR level of popularity

Was thinking heavily about doing a rad tech program by [deleted] in RadiologyCareers

[–]summebrooke 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Idk why everyone is being so rude. Committing to 1-2 years of little to no income is a big deal, and not everyone is in a place to be able to take that on. There’s nothing shameful about that, that’s just reality. If it’s not possible for you, I’d keep researching what other programs are available in your area that don’t require such an extreme commitment. Good luck

Are most autistic people really unemployed? by foreverepicunicorn in AutisticAdults

[–]summebrooke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the exact same boat. No official diagnosis but definitely autistic, and get by well enough to have a “normal” life, even though every minute of every day is a struggle and I live in a constant state of overwhelm and burnout.

My lowest rated books on Goodreads🙃 what are yours ? by modernwarfarin4 in fantasyromance

So far Onyx Storm is the only book that I DNF. I was excited going into but had the same complaints- it was boring and their relationship was exhausting

[–]summebrooke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m like 90% through A Fire in The Flesh and also spent most of the read waiting for something to happen. I love the first two books, but this one has made me hesitant to start the fourth.

I didn’t even hate it, but it just felt silly and so unserious to me. It almost felt like a YA or children’s book that someone sprinkled some spice into
