    I was today years old when I discovered that “hate to love” and “enemies to lovers” are not the same trope

    • @lightlawliet3526
      @lightlawliet3526 4 роки тому +5

      they aren't. everyone kept recommending red, white royal blue as enemies to lovers but i was very disappointed that it wasn't at all. my favorite in this trope is captive prince series. haven't found anything to match that yet.

      @@Lucisek268 Hate to love means that the two characters often don't know of each other beforehand and have a bad first meeting. For example the main girl throws up on the main guys shoes. Enemies to lovers usually means the characters already know of eachother, either from a bad past relationship or because they are in groups that are against one another. An example would be the main girl being the princess of one kingdom and the mail guy being the prince of the kingdom they are at war at. They might not have ever met but they are still enemies to one another, but if they accidentally meet on the street they could become friends.

    Popcorn tip: put it at the recommended time from the instructions and listen to the popping. When the popping slows down, that’s when u take it out (Even if every last kernel isn’t popped).

    I'm a mood reader too, and I always find myself picking out a few books, looking at them, then either picking ANOTHER book that wasn't in my pile or listening to one (that also wasn't in my pile) on Libby 😭😂 it's so bad because I own about 600 books that are unread. I have no business reading books from the library when a majority of mine are collecting dust on the shelves

    System for choosing which book to read next: yours sounds about right lol. I like to spread out the books I'm considering on the floor and then... look at them... rearrange them... and then, you know, pick which one to read next...

    I have had the popcorn thing happen to me as well. If your microwave is on the small side, the bag tends to get stuck as it expands. When it stops rotating, some sections of the bag grow too hot and hence the burning!

    Moussaka is amazing. I'm fortunate to live in the most diverse city in the world where you can get just about any kind of food, especially Greek food. Astoria has a ton of great Greek restaurants owned by Greek immigrants. The Moussaka at any family owned diner is to die for. If you ever come to New York City, it's an excursion you must take. Either that or go to Greece.

    Ik knip die popcorn zak altijd open en doe het in een pan met een deksel op laag vuur, de olie (zit in de zak) even goed verspreiden, af en toe de pan een beetje schudden en wachten tot het gepop afgelopen is. Gaat nooit mis!

    Ok ok ok. So I’m watching this and at 3:53 (or a little earlier) I saw the eggplant and I was like oh! She’s making moussaka and then I was like no she’s couldn’t be (just because everyone who I have tried talking to about this dish doesn’t know about it) and I’m just flabbergasted that you are making it! It’s one of my favorite foods. Hope you liked it!!!

    I really wanted to read A Deadly Education but after hearing so many mixed reviews I'm going to pass on it. Am really excited to try To Kill A Kingdom now, though! You hyped it up for me because we have similar reading tastes!
    Also, the popcorn struggles are very familiar. What I always do is, I follow the instructions on the package, but stay at the microwave. When there's about 4 to 5 seconds between 2 pops, I stop the microwave. Then, most kernels have popped and it hasn't started burning yet! :)

    I actually enjoyed A Deadly Education more than I thought I would. I needed a a fun light read and it actually really got into the world. Hated all the info dumps scattered through the book. I have a feeling it's going to end on a cliff hanger so I stopped about 40 pages to the end, and I'm going to save those for right before the sequel releases.
