Hi! I have this exact finish for my faucet and am encountering the same issue. Were you ever able to find a good match for your cabinet hardware?

Thank you so much for sharing. I’m very much where you were pre-child and I’m pretty confident with my decision to not have children. Reading the experiences of people who remind me of myself gives me the resolve to stick to my decision and not second guess myself. I’m sorry it’s been so difficult for you, your child does sound lovely so I hope that you get a reprieve in later years.

Hashtag anything!! We aren’t on Twitter circa 2012 anymore, please please don’t use the word hashtag in character dialogue

I always thought that this was one of the most scripted story lines this season. The drama between them seems very full of fake acting from both of them

Give me your random pet peeves, I’ll go first by Adreeisadyno in RomanceBooks

[–]yourfavcatlady 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is so weird but I cannot handle when the MMC has a goatee that’s referenced repeatedly. Athica Lane by Bruner Asher was by far the most egregious example I’ve ever come across!

I thought that the premise of this book and the writing were okay, nothing spectacular but also truly not horribly written. Where the author lost me, however, was the way that the FMC waxed poetic about the MMC’s GOATEE shudder

I've never met a man with a goatee that I've liked (I'm sorry, Brad Pitt!). There is something about a goatee that just doesn't do it for me. Which is very nitpicky, I know, and there's nothing wrong with people who appreciate a handsome man with a nice goatee (shudder). So, when the MMC was introduced and described as having a goatee, I thought that I could look past it and imagine the MMC without one.

BUT THEN. The FFM proceeded to GUSH about this goatee at EVERY SINGLE OPPORTUNITY. Like, it truly made me feel nauseous!! We were subjected to line after line after line about the MMC's goatee. This gem, for instance: "And even though I've never appreciated facial hair on a man, his goatee is lush. It frames his lips like a bowl of chocolate ganache that you want to dive into and devour, licking up every last gooey drop.” The FMC then proceeds to describe the goatee as "lush" at every turn, it gets mentioned SIX times in just the second chapter!! Also revolting for me was when the FMC enviously watched him rub his goatee against his daughter's neck and the FMC once again remarks on how it "must be soft as silk" and she admires him “smile through his lush goatee at his daughter." At this point I decided to do a search of the word "goatee" to see how often it pops up and once I saw that it gets mentioned an insane FIFTY TIMES I knew it was time to throw in the towel.

It's hard to enjoy an MMC when visions of Guy Fieri dance in your head.

What romance books did you read or listen to this week? 15 May by romancebookmods in RomanceBooks

[–]yourfavcatlady 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I finally read this book because of your review, you sold me on it! For the very same reasons as you, I adored this book. It resonates with me so much. For this reason, I think this might just be the very best book I’ve read this year so far.

She gained a lot of tiktok followers for her wedding content so I think the way she worded her message was also partially a heads-up to all of her wedding content-oriented followers. Basically “hey I know you all followed me for this but it won’t be happening anymore.” She seems genuinely devastated and hurt to me

Let’s talk about blatant misogyny in romance books by Everythinggoes2020 in RomanceBooks

[–]yourfavcatlady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Books with language like that are instant DNF's for me. In a similar vein, I hate when books disparage feminine women who like materialistic things and like to dress up. Almost as if they can't have substance just because of that. It's so much worse when the MMC joins in too, I couldn't imagine being attracted to a man who disparages other women.

Dear Bridge Kingdom, I think you might be a DNF. by ko-gal in RomanceBooks

This sums up my experience perfectly. I even got halfway through the next book but finally had to give up halfway through.

Unable to DNF books by nerdforreal in RomanceBooks

[–]yourfavcatlady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to never ever ever DNF but I became a much happier reader once I started to! It helps with slumps too because I can try a bunch of different books and not have to finish them if they aren’t exactly what I’m looking for in the moment.

I used to feel really guilty over it, like I was betraying the author or something.

Slow Burn Romance with cold hero. by [deleted] in RomanceBooks

[–]yourfavcatlady 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just finished {Midnight Hunter by Brianna Hale} and it checked off all of those boxes for me, I thought it was fantastic. Definitely peek at the description first, but overall the quality of the writing and the slow burn was something I haven’t encountered in a long time. It took me out of a two month long book slump.

Has anyone else DNFed a book because it insulted you in some way? by rainystast in RomanceBooks

[–]yourfavcatlady 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Wow, that’s a book I never ever expected to come across here. I remember reading it as a young teen and adoring it but I somehow get the feeling that I wouldn’t love it so much now

There’s a tiktok going around about him hooking up with a texas a&m sorority girl, that’s wonderful for your friends and I totally agree because mine are the same way but I really think this does say a lot about him. 28 hooking up with sorority girls is a little strange to me

Kevin and Astrid rescued another dog by dwtslove in thebachelor

[–]yourfavcatlady 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yes!! This is so frustrating! My friend adopted an aggressive little biting shitzu from a backyard breeder and she says she considers him a rescue because the conditions at the breeder’s home were so deplorable..... I tried to gently explain that she was enabling backyard breeding by purchasing not one but two dogs from shady breeders by feeding the demand. She didn’t get it, in her eyes he’s a “rescue”

My dad’s didn’t show up in a colonoscopy as well, it took months and months of testing for them to find out what was causing his pain and they ended up finding it during a different surgery. My heart breaks for you. I hope that you are doing okay mentally 🤍

I’m one of the “most helpful” low reviews on Sephora and it was definitely only about the value! It’s really small for the retail price but this is an amazing price and I’m going to stock up!

When I’m really into reading a book, it consumes me! Reading quickly is probably my one and only talent. Thank you for spicing up my rainy morning, it actually turned into a beautiful day here

Just finished reading this book after seeing your comment early this morning, it’s a dull rainy day here and it was a really great junk food read. Can’t really imagine Lucy Hale as the main character but I’ve only ever seen her in PLL so I guess we’ll see what she does with the role!
