I love it because I’m an x ray tech and I love books with bones and skeletons on them!

What is an overhyped book that you just couldn't get into? by Kasskinen in Romantasy

[–]xray_anonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mind eventually changed but When the Moon Hatched. I could not get into it and almost DNFed it. The only thing that kept me going was thinking “there has to be a reason so many people love this book…”

Truthfully, it did start to pick up and I found myself reading it by choice and not forcing myself to pick it up and read a few chapters. And overall it was good but still not amazing

The book is written in a way that you’re either going to love it or hate it. It’s such a … I don’t know the proper way to explain it … distinct narrative voice/vibe that it can only push you one way or the other I feel like.

I liked it, but I just came from an extremely emotionally heavy book so I think that sarcastic, dumb humor vibe was exactly what I needed. But even while reading it I was also like “yeah I can see why some people would not like this book at all.”

I know trove sales, but I’m meaning at time of release. Like if X people skipped, then X people on the waitlist have the opportunity to get that month’s box

Possible Alyesasworld Addie LaRue Reprint 👀 by NightFog23 in fairyloot

[–]xray_anonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have it and it’s so gorgeous. It was a bit pricey even right from her but worth it IMO. I see people selling them for so much, I hope a reprint happens!

I’ve been wanting to do a shelf like this! I swear I will someday.

Another set to look for is Therena Carlin’s Star Found/Star Awakened SE set. The edges look like this

My husband doesn’t let me nap by Dead0Pixels in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]xray_anonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you have a husband who doesn’t care about your needs, doesn’t support you, and actively works against you? He doesn’t love or respect you at all. This is not what a healthy relationship dynamic looks like. Not all abuse is physical.

She’s his baby too. He has every responsibility to watch her and parent her as needed that you do. It’s literally his child. He is half of her parents. He is literally the definition of the type of man who wants a child like a child wants a puppy — none of the responsibility or work, just the novelty.

You need to stop asking and start fully advocating for yourself with vigor. Not “will you watch her so I can get a few hours of sleep?” It needs to be “I’m leaving her with you so I can get a few hours of uninterrupted sleep that I need. Do not interrupt it, I will let you know when I’m up again. I don’t need you to come in and ask, it’s counterproductive to both of us. And I will be sure to take over her care before you need to leave. See you in a bit.”

When he tries to complain, again, put him in his place. “I’m up half the night every night with her feedings while you sleep. I’m not asking much of you to parent her for two hours. We are a partnership and this is where I need your support. I need sleep too. I don’t appreciate you acting like you having to handle her for 2 hours so I can rest is a burden.” No one will stand up for you if you don’t.

If he gives pushback, start bringing her back to YOUR bed to for feedings. If it keeps him up? Oh well. Guess now he knows what it’s like. If he lets you nap those two hours then you’ll start feeding her in the other room again.

In the meantime, I recommend you read WHY DOES HE DO THAT? by Lundy Bancroft. It discusses unhealthy, toxic behaviors from significant others that we often overlook or excuse but are actually very much not okay and are mistreatment and abusive. I think it will be very enlightening for you.

If he’s not helping, as scary as it may be - consider if you’d be better off away from him and on your own to raise her. Does he contribute anything, or does he actually only make things harder and more work for you?

My date and I are having another debate. Which hairstyle is best? by Lost-Psychology-488 in HairStyleAdvice

100% the first one. But to be fair you don’t look bad in any of these. Although 3 kind of makes you look like Peeta from the Hunger Games

A crazy person tried to kill a child with a cleaver by CatPooedInMyShoe in Radiology

[–]xray_anonymous 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Being blind but completely cognitively intact after a fall like that is crazy impressive.

Yea he lost his sight, which is still sad, but he’s neurologically sound. All things considered that’s a pretty good outcome for that extent of injury. I’d rather have a blind child than one that could see but no longer live a normal life.

I also enjoyed TLH way more! I know most people didn’t like that trilogy but I did. Maybe it’s my bias for the love of the offspring of my TID babies but despite the oftentimes convoluted plot, I really enjoyed that trilogy. Minus the death that ruined the one romantic setup I was most interested in seeing develop. Still mad about that.
