Okay, #83, that mushroom tart is delicious. If you think the crust is soggy, that's because you cooked it wrong. Your inadequacy when it comes to heating up frozen pizza is not the tart's flaw.

This 100%. The point of showing the scene wasn't to in/validate Zanab's reaction or perception of the situation. It was because dude sat there and point blank called her a liar and said he never said anything like that....except that it was literally verbatim what he said. The scene… Read More

Shortly after she turned 18, it came out that a classmate was pregnant. Not super scandalous for a rural, small-town high school. There was, however, quite the uproar when it came out that the father was her best friend's dad.

Frankly, $10,000 is a waste of time and would have virtually no impact for me. If there's no substantial forgiveness happening, then new repayment options and/or interest rate changes are necessary. My interest rate unexpectedly doubled from one year to the next due to fed policy… Read More

Another vote for anything written by SJM. She's a fantastic writer and I've loved everything I've ever read from her. Currently on the library wait list for her most recent Crescent City book. Maybe I'll read ACOTAR again in the meantime...

Wait... dishrags are old school? I use them - but to be fair, I guess that's probably because that's how my mom did it. Until now, I didn't realize that that was weird, lol.

The extra infuriating thing about it is that her story is not unique. It's happened to numerous people over across the country and not only is it not condemned, it's actually been confirmed to be explicitly allowed in some areas of the country. There's case law out there from at… Read More

#1 has been driving me crazy trying to remember. My aging brain is probably blending multiple series together. It says the Six of Crows duo is set 3 years after S&B, but I swear that I remember parts of Crooked Kingdom after Genya, Zoya, and crew show up seeming to indicate that… Read More

I think he also tossed in something along the lines of "they don't want to look at my ass," but it's been long enough now that I can't remember if he actually said that or if my memory ad-libbed that in.
