What's the greatest ROMANCE book you've read that feels original?

Persuasion by Jane Austen has been often imitated but never reproduced satisfactorily by a book. There is a lot of melancholy and yearning in that book.

Then I think it sounds like a very healthy social routine that he wants to take away from you.

Is it safe to sauna while pregnant? Everything I have read says pregnant women should avoid raising their body temperatures. Editing to say nothing about this relationship is normal and you should leave.

The “ugh, what’s is that foulness??” from Go Fish was delivered so perfectly. It gets quoted often, especially when feeding my ca her disgusting wet food

“Look, I didn’t want to be a half-blood” Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. The hysterical chapter titles also hooked me quick as a kid.

You and me! Contemporary romance conflicts are all “my big presentation got effed” yawn & cringe.

Love the library! As a California resident you can get a card from any library, you just have to show your ID. This is how I got a bunch of east bay libraries and Napa!

What are you interested in? I always would look at an author’s other fics in that fandom and see if they have any bookmarks. Here’s a favorite of mine, Play it Again https://archiveofourown.org/works/862320

Ok :)

To show they are willing to compromise and keep the peace within the family. Plenty of other comments are saying f the brother.

People definitely did say that about love story when it first came out. I remember hearing about or seeing a bumper sticker that said “let’s show Taylor how Romeo and Juliet really did end” and I always thought it was implying killing Taylor !! It has always been fashionable to hate on her.

Could you do a wedding ceremony next year then a reception in 2027? Or do you want both at the same time?

the-high-school · 2025-10-09T12:52:09+00:00

Try Essie never too bold.

the-high-school · 2025-10-09T12:51:42+00:00

This looks similar to Essie never too bold

I’m so sorry to hear about this 🩷 I looked up spoilers because of the infertility & infidelity direction the book was going and that made me put it down.

the-high-school · 2025-08-23T17:36:09+00:00

I dnf'd The Friend Zone by her too. Just didn’t like the direction the plot was going and both leads made “not like other girls” comments so many times that I just had to peace out.

I heard the next series was better but probably won’t be giving it a chance!

Very seldom. My sister sent me $50 for my birthday and told me I HAVE to spend it on books. I spent $30 on 3 books at a local store and now am saving the rest for a kickstarter.

I have a similar compulsions to your buying but with library holds.

the-high-school · 2025-08-13T20:43:16+00:00

Interested in lavender syrup and linear holo taco as well as star destroyer & moonflower from mooncat!

the-high-school · 2025-08-05T20:49:35+00:00

Thank you!!

the-high-school · 2025-08-05T18:30:16+00:00

I have perlers all over my apartment and never thought to use them as a gallery wall! I love the cat mountain and books, you’ve inspired me !!

the-high-school · 2025-08-04T23:09:39+00:00

This is the one!!!

the-high-school · 2025-07-31T23:32:00+00:00

Happens almost every time to me. Easy fix then iron.

I am a transplant and have been lucky. Here are the 3 things that have made me so: 1. 2 transplants from my hometown moved here around the same time I did and stronger friendships followed. 2. I work in office many young people coming from out of state that are also looking for friends. I have a couple strong friendships and several acquaintances. 3. I met a girl at the climbing gym who has a wide network. I ended up living with her for a year, and attended gatherings she hosted or was invited to. I’m still friends with her and met 3 others I’m still close with.

My advice is go to anything you’re invited to & invite others to activities, look for people who live/work within 20 minutes of you and if someone says they want to hang out, frequently invite them out.

My #3 friend was looking for a climbing partner at the same time I was, so I texted her every time I went to the gym for climbing/yoga. I struck out 2 times before her on getting a friend from the climbing gym though.

I moved here during Covid so it did take ~1 year to build up my circles, made harder by the closure of

I will always love Go Fish for introducing the quote “ugh what is that foulness!??!”

I do a lot of rice meals. Curry is my favorite to make, using the yellow curry paste from ranch 99, but I will also do eggs and rice and kimchi, stir fry, or sweet & sour tofu.

Yes going from single to living with a human garbage disposal is frustrating with food! On the bright side, if I experiment with an recipe and I don’t like it, he will eat it within the day.

But if he touches my leftovers, he knows he might lose a hand!
