Bluehost: “Give me $400. I, alone, can build a functional website!”

Also Bluehost: “Our website isn’t actually designed to accommodate cell phones. Lolz.”

Bitch, this is your one job! And the “chat” is a circle jerk of an animated menu. So, I’ll just scream into the void here, I guess.

I don’t even understand. My literal face right now: 🧐🤔. Like, wtf do you mean? She was threatening to leave the pack ten pages ago. She hasn’t even kissed one of the guys. They might have to move to a cheaper house. None of them have jobs. What the fuck is happening? 🤣🤣🤣 …baffled. DNF. Aghast.

I read 294 pages, and it was adorable—cupcake sweet, even if the spice was…trying its best—and then, out of nowhere, literally, they’re talking about having a baby. Like, they’re abt to go fuck on stage because they’re broke, and they’re like, “Getting her pregnant would earn tips” so…baby.

Ooooh! Chapter two is much, much, much better written. It’s immediately obvious the author got it edited and then added a new first chapter without getting it professionally edited. (That happens, sometimes.) Now, I’m excited again! 🤞🤞🤞

Okay…I’m reading a bad book. I know it’s a bad book. I know it. It’s immature, poorly punctuated, and sloppy! But it’s, like, soooo sloppy? Messy.☺️☠️ It’s reminding me of horrible-fun fanfic? I should stop…. 🌶️📚💙

It really works! That’s what broke my last slump. 🤣 Guess it’s orc smut for me. Think I have something cute with an orc neighbor and cupcakes? If that doesn’t work, we’ll go to the swamp. Hehe

Sorry to hear that. I’m in a book slump, atm. Half tempted to read some ogre smut just to cleanse the palette. Lol. What do you enjoy reading?

Yeesh. How many DNFs equal a book slump? 😅 *Is sad.* Any non-toxic KU recs? Or is it time for some monster smut?

(A kinky ogre novella is the cure for a book slump, pretty sure. But, like, you can’t live on ogre smut alone!) 🌶️📚💙 #romancelandia

Like, I’m supposed to read the last 100 pages why? *Misery.* *Groveling.* *Smut.* HEA!!!!! 🖕🖕🖕Why? None of that is interesting to me. It’s cliched, predictable, and I just lost all respect for half the characters. 🤣 It’s like the book just betrayed me, and I’m like, “It’ll never be the same now!” ✌️

Some authors act like characters can do anything—lose all integrity and respect—and, if the other characters forgive them, the readers will too. I don’t. Lol. A book last week was like, “I was the worst.” “No, I was the worst.” “Let’s be the worst together!” Me: “Zero respect. Zero attraction. 🖕”

Meh. My literal face right now: 😑. 🤣 Calling the last book Diet Sprite adjacent was too kind. It was Diet Sprite adjacent until it became so convoluted and irrationally dramatic that I DNF’d it. And F.U.C.K. here we go again. I’m just…disgusted with these men. Doms? Where?

Yeah…everything’s falling to shit. 🤷‍♀️ I guess I’m supposed to be getting something from this? Feels like an episode of Gossip Girl. The “3rd act” break-up came with 150 pages left. Can’t tell if that’s better or worse. No overdramatized, emotionally-stunted nonsense would have been ideal, but…alas.

I’m a happy bee. 🐝 It’s cute, ridiculous—I love absurdities and contrivances; crackfic 4ever!—and cringy in the best ways. Also, it’s self-aware and not toxic. So far. 🤞 I mean, there might be a 3rd act break-up where she goes flailing into a storm, but 89 pages in? Here for it. 🥳

Mmmm. Competency. It IS going down real nice. My desire to set something on fire has significantly lowered. 🤣🤞🤞🤞

(Even though the concept of a bunch of guys trying to program this woman into being a “chill, man-pleasing pick-me” makes me want to set something on fire. But, you know…maybe I AM the drama? 😳 …I’m sure it’s fine. 🤞🤞🤞 It’s a wildly popular book! It should be fine! Bar? In hell.)

Contender 2: Faking With Benefits, by Lily Gold. (I read another of hers and found the plot nonsensical and the arcs Diet Sprite adjacent, but I have high hopes of the Diet Sprite going down real nice. 🤞 My tum tum hurts. Let’s just get something down! 🤣🤣🤣 …I think I’m funny.) 🌶️📚💙

Yeah, I’m not fucking reading this. For, like, nine different reasons. I’m on page ten. No offensive, I guess. 🤣

I feel bad saying anything negative about a writer’s work, genuinely, but…🤷‍♀️. I tried. I did! DNF.

Do I like that her brother pulled her onto his lap for a cuddle and then called her a “little grumpy kitten?” No. No, I do not. 🤣

Oh! Please, please, please let this be a good book. I just want to read a good book! 🥺😩

On today’s quest for a superb omega verse, we have “Clouds and Daydreams.” The summary makes me fear bleakness—reality being bleak enough, imo—but I do like psychological nuance, so it’s today’s first contender. (I did gag at her 4’11” height, tho. Short? Fine. But 🧐🤔🤷‍♀️. U know?) We’ll see! 🌶️📚💙

My literal face right now: ☹️. Hehe. (During the first smut scene—they’re not even together—he threatened to sabotage her birth control.) Not my kink! …if that’s what we’re calling it…. DNF, please. Thank you.

Starting a new omega verse that’s reported to be filthy—promises, promises—but one trigger warning has me squinty. Fisting? Degradation? Free use sex? …meh. Probably fine. But pregnancy in the epilogue? …yucky! 🤣🤣🤣 I’ll try, but that’s one strike going in, so…good luck! 🌶️📚💙

One of us must be confused, but “tropes and themes” is how people have always marketed their books, no?

Why choose has me so spoiled. I’m like, “What do you mean it’s 350 pages? Is there a part two? Is that even a book, though?” 🤣 Every omega verse is like the Moby Dicks of love stories. 🌶️📚💙 #whychoose #omegaverse #spicyromance

I agree. It was exceptional. I wasn’t expecting the psychological depth or kink. It really jumped right to the top tier of its kind, imo.

I’d love to be added. I’m a why choose girlie. Trauma-informed character growth with oodles of kink.
