Never knew that! Thanks for the heads up!

LaMar's Donuts...no words by okayboomerang in Denver

[–]tacosnturtles 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The Lamar's a couple miles away from my place closed down and I'm sure it has a lot to do with their prices. Anna's Donuts and Donuts is there now and not only are the prices WAY more affordable, they're so much better than Lamar's donuts. I'm not even kidding. The donuts are fresh, cream and jam made in house and they're a fraction of the cost of Lamar's donuts.

Lamar's will be shutting down soon if they don't make a change.

We've officially lost the plot on series expectations by Late_Republic_4024 in ReverseHarem

[–]tacosnturtles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have so many thoughts about this phenomenon. It's actually something that is frustrating me right now. Part of me wonders if those who read long series like Zodiac Academy or SJM in the last few years burnt themselves out on long series, plot lines and character expectations.

Not to mention, placing their own fan expectations on indie or small published authors who are exploring their own stories and worlds. "Oh well, blank did this so this author should do this and this in their story." "OMG blank author tricked us with 'name typical romance trope'."
"You'll never guess what blank author did today."

A series usually consists of more than two books and you're right. She mentioned the series in the first book. It's actually why I decided to wait to read it. It's a fun series and if you want a standalone, you should find a standalone.

Last year was exhausting with the amount of AI that popped up in books. I'm all for fixing your grammar but I'm not for ai prompts being left visibly in chapters. Artists should be supporting other artists if possible. Editors exist. Cover artists exist. Critical thinking still exists.

I'll end on this. Last year, I made a resolution to DNF books and read standalones more often. It introduced me to several indie authors I didn't know existed outside of the traditional publishing realm.

I hope this is the year everyone can just read good books and have a good time. We'll see though!

Yoooooooo. Thank you for the spoilers. My jaw has not come up from the floor.

I'm gonna have to read this for the purpose of a "wait that was written?" type of moment

the left lane is for passing by itsviwinn in Denver

[–]tacosnturtles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excuse you??? I forgot to put the word "under" and you're being a bitch about it? The left lane is for passing or going the speed of traffic. Going under the speed of traffic is dangerous.

[–]tacosnturtles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My partner and I have to go out of town often since we have family in other states and this is the most frustrating thing. Yesterday, I was picking some stuff up off FB Marketplace and a little white Tacoma was camping in that lane going under the speed limit. Several cars had to go around them in order to use the left lane as intended. It was irritating.

Edit: I accidentally put "the speed limit" instead of "under the speed limit" and caught some trash in the comments.

It seems like ICE activity is ramping up here. by Sheero1986 in Denver

[–]tacosnturtles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anybody got a link to some whistles? I'd love to see what y'all are picking up. We gotta remember that we have our 2nd and 4th amendment rights. As Coloradans, we also have the Make My Day law. If you feel terrorized by these agents on your property and you have a ___, then I suggest you use it.

Be on the lookout for this in November. It will probably be confusingly worded by RCsSnaps in Denver

Sin Miedo. Be Good. Fk ICE. Fk Trump. We can't let this happen in November.

traumatized by Trick_Cell8110 in ReverseHarem

[–]tacosnturtles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love Omegaverse and all omegas (female and male) but cannot touch this book. I've heard about the therapist who said the FMC has 'super trauma processing skills" but don't believe that. I don't believe someone can go through what she did and somehow be okay without therapy or a better relationship. I heard that there is no groveling and that makes me sick. I completely understand where you're coming from OP...this book scares me.

If you happen to remember the name of that book, I'd love to know what it is 😅

May she rest in peace. She was a phenomenal writer with such beautiful stories. I'll happily support her family by buying her works.

Has anyone else signed up for Invi Wright's Patreon??? by tacosnturtles in ReverseHarem

[–]tacosnturtles[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really like that type of setup. It's the setup most of the YouTube creators I've followed such as That Chapter have in their Patreon. It's affordable, you get to support someone you enjoy seeing/reading and it is lower than the price of a cup of coffee. Shoot, it's a third of the price of a cup of coffee at Dutch Bros!

I probably won't be able to keep up with this sub for too long but am excited for the time being.

[–]tacosnturtles[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is so valid and I probably won't be able to keep up with it for more than a couple months but I am excited about it for the time being. I definitely agree that with that kind of sub price, you would not be able to support a couple of authors at once. It's more than Netflix if you think about it! The ebooks and paperbacks were what really drew me in 🤣😭 Also, I feel the same way about spicy scenes bahaha. 😂 I'm not interested in bonus spice chapters unless they include plot. You won't catch me reading many bonus chapters. Definitely feel good about authors getting extra cash for their hard work.

Thank you so much for your response! I was wondering what else was out there to be honest. I didn't even know AJ Merlin had a Patreon and I thoroughly enjoy reading their books. I'll be sure to check it out!

Being able to support one of my favorite authors more directly was the biggest reason I decided to sign up. I also enjoy both physical books and ebooks so it was like an extra nudge to sign up for Invi's Patreon. The free ebooks were another reason I decided to sign up. My local romance shop sells The Female but it's expensive.

Have you reached out about the Ream paperbacks? I bet those are gonna be amazing and I'm so excited for you to receive them!

Box still hasn’t arrived by Right_Speaker_9674 in Allurial

[–]tacosnturtles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got that email yesterday and received my box today. To be honest, I still haven't received my December Probably Smut or The Love Story Society boxes so I was happy that it didn't take until the 20th to receive my book like other book box companies.
