Livia

“It’s not just my motivation…” Liv searched his eyes, desperately wanting–needing him to understand. “I have seasonal depression,” she lowered her eyes. “I—I don’t like talking about it, and I hate putting a label on myself, but it’s true. It’s always been hard, but with Xandro gone,” she bit her lip, a sob building in her c…[Read more]

FREE HUGSSSS

Now would you like an Esther hug or a Lukas hug?? 🧐

@savannah_grace2009
Lukas

He wiped his sweaty palms on his hands as Livia tucked her phone back into her pocket. “Then let’s change that! I can help you catch up on everything so people don’t think you feel off the face of the planet.” He cracked a lopsided smile.

Livia

Liv sighed, letting him hold her for a few seconds.

“I’m sorry…I know I haven’t been the best friend,” she pulled out her phone and showed him all the unread and unanswered messages. “I haven’t had the motivation to do anything lately.”

“Live, Laugh, Love. If that doesn’t work, Load, Aim, Fire.” -A bumper sticker I saw

@savannah_grace2009

*screams* I use the guinea pig analogy all the time! I’ve struggled with school and my mom can’t help me because she doesn’t know what she’s doing, but now my siblings are in those grades and mom can actually help them! How many younger siblings do you have?

Am I the only one here who has never wanted an older brother?

@esther-c
I LOVE HUGS. I want a hug too, please.

@raxforge

Cool!! 😄 Are you a white belt too? How long have you been training?

@esther-c @theducktator

Let me guess…KotLC? 👀

Keeper of the Lost Cities?

…You caught me. XD Yes, KotLC. I am on book eight, and very happy to see Sophie and Fitz at least partially together now. I know it isn’t going to last very long because the story is going to switch favor to Keefe, but I got a break from the romance plot and it felt like s…[Read more]

@esther-c

I’m also tired of the “oh no it’s cold we’d better snuggle together for warmth” trope. Dress for the weather!

@whalekeeper

or example, in the series I’m reading, seven books have passed and the heroine has finally realized her crush likes her back. The hints were agonizingly obvious. He was giving you gifts, girl. He initiated a unique telepathic connection with you. His friends have openly joked about your feelings for each other.

Keeper of the Lost Cities?

@esther-c

I’m pretty sure I have more, but here’s nine.

1. NO. MATURE. RELATIONSHIPS. BETWEEN. CHILDREN. I have read about 2 books ever that had elementry/middle school relationships well written. I don’t care if in real life 12 year olds date. I don’t want to read about it.
2. Love at first sight. It’s not love, it’s just attraction.
3. Why are…

Lukas 

“No.”

Lukas ran his tongue over his lips. At least he got a clear answer. He had heard from his brothers before that girls would say they were fine when they actually weren’t. If Livia hadn’t answered that way, then that must mean she really wasn’t okay.

“Why?”

By Liv’s expression, that was definitely not t…[Read more]

@koshka

1: love triangles. I find them incredibly unrealistic and often ridiculous.

😭

jk jk. XD I personally don’t mind them if they’re done right. 😉

2: no communication. The entire plot should not be able to be resolved with a 5 minute conversation. Like seriously. This may be a problem in real life, but do I want to real a full 300+ pages abo…

Aannnddd I’m left in the dust. What is it with you night owls?

oh boy, you mention “doctor” and Rory’ll flip out bad.

You don’t want to see that.

Rory

When Barnes actually took off her mask, Rory started in surprise a little. He had been preparing to surprise her and somehow get it off. He needed to see the face b…[Read more]

@esther-c

I agree with @koshka and @elishavet-pidyon

I would also add,

1. A lot of physical contact before marriage

2. Only being able to have a relationship when alone. I prefer that one of the first times this couple is alone is when he asks her to marry him. Show them getting to know each others families, hanging out at church, spending…[Read more]

@liberty

Yes, and the weird thing is I got two emails at once both saying the same thing. It’s like my last registration actually went through….. I hope being signed up two times isn’t a problem.

@koshka @ellette-giselle

Barnes

This information had only been guesswork up until this point. Now, Barnes could remember Rory’s file. It had been newer than the others, and very scarce of words.

“Is there a way of convincing them Rory isn’t worth the risk? To them, not us,” she added.
