PROFESSOR/COACH BOOK LIST
The Unrequited by Saffron A. Kent-⭐️😇
ProfessorxStudent & mental health themes
Cute little poet embarrassingly falls for her grumpy professor. Beautiful slow burn and perfectly describes what it feels like to want someone and not feel enough for them. She is such a realistic female lead and reminds me a lot of y’all 😂. This is THE teacher crush community book. If you don’t read anything, read this!!
The Professor by Invi Wright-⭐️🌶️
ProfessorxStudent
Cute romance by young, new, and self published author. Very relatable female lead. If you enjoyed The Unrequited, you will like this book for all of the same reasons. Quick and easy read, only 240. She isn’t perfect, she’s clumsy, and I wouldn’t even say she’s socially awkward, she’s just a normal college student in her early 20s. She’s a fun narrator. This author has a lot of potential and her writing will only get better.
Gabriel’s Inferno by Slyvain Reynard-⭐️😇
ProfessorxStudent
Such a good dark academia book. Beautifully written and actually has a movie adaptation. I would definitely recommend this if you want a realistic couple but a bit more serious. Characters have so much depth
Off Balance Series by Lucia Franco- 💦
CoachxStudent
Warning: female lead is age of consent NOT legal age.
If you want something really forbidden and fucked up, read this. If you want the MOST insane sex scenes, read this (MINORS STOP). I really don’t even want to add this series to this list but for the girls who wanna go there, have fun. I started this when I was still in high school, read the 3rd one as an adult, it’s not as easy to read now. Take that info as you please. With that being said, it’s one of the best writing and plots I’ve ever read. Lucia Franco is 😍
The Professor by Skye Warren-🌶️
ProfessorxStudent
Also an ex-boyfriend’s dad book! This book was amazing! Read it in a day and immediately pre ordered the second. The plot twist in this book made me throw my phone! Narrator/FMC is a bit less relatable for me. Has a secret society plot! Potentially brooding Professor
The 4th Degree by Nikki Castle- 💦
CoachxStudent
Warning: parent death & parent w/ chronic illness
Coach is so broody but has a big heart, he just doesn’t like to show it. FMC has so much depth and is really mature for a 19 y.o. Coach is a quiet character with a dirty mouth. Doesn’t talk much but when he does??? The tension between them is chefs kiss. Not too much a a slow burn. “Will they, won’t they, will they, won’t they” vibes.
Lessons In Sin by Pam Goodwin-🌶️
TeacherxStudent with 18 Y.O female lead
Troubled rich girl gets sent off to a catholic boarding school and falls for the asshole Dean of the school. Smut is pretty good, plot works. I’m not going to say it’s bad, I think whether or not it’s enjoyable depends on the person. It wasn’t bad, I just wasn’t obsessed. If you’re just trying to live vicariously through her (aren’t we all), then it works!
Teach Me by L. L. Ash-🌶️
ProfessorxStudent
Really good start, and I do mean GREAT start… I just feel like the sex scene came too soon (Ch. 9/32) and it threw me off but I also like SUPER slow burns. It’s still a good book. I enjoyed the male love interest, Professor Harlo. They’re cute together. Grump and Sunshine.
Dark Notes by Pam Goodwin-
TeacherxStudent & themes of abuse
Probably DNF-ing
AGE GAP BOOK LIST
Something In The Way Series by Jessica Hawkins-⭐️😇
Sister’s Boyfriend/Husband & “I saw him first”
Most beautiful romance series I’ve ever read, best written books by Jessica Hawkins. I recommend all of her other books. Lake is 16 when she first meets Manning but nothing sexual happens between them for another 3 books until she’s in her 20s. Beautiful slow burn with characters full of depth.
Sinner by Sierra Simone- ⭐️💦
Brother’s Best Friend & religious themes
Amazing character creation and mapping. These characters feel real! This book is about “teaching” a girl about sex before she becomes a nun. It’s not just a bang bang, hump hump book. It has heart and it really good. If you enjoy religious themed romance, you may enjoy Priest by Sierra Simone too. I didn’t 💀
Birthday Girl by Penelope Douglas- 💦
Ex’s Dad
Most popular forbidden romance so whatever you’ve heard about it, dump it. This might be the most tame book on this list. Pacing is good, well written main character. Insane amounts of smut but it doesn’t drive the story forward so feel free to skip it if you get tired.
Love Unexpected by Q. B. Tyler- 💦
Ex Stepdad & parent death
This book is HOT! However after the first few scenes, I got a bit tired of the smut. Well written enough female lead with a rushed ending. However if you just need something to read and not despise it, it’s good enough.
Strictly Off Limits by Jessica Hawkins-🌶️
Dad’s Best Friend
Jessica is my favorite author so I’m a bit biased but she definitely isn’t a smut writer. This novella would’ve been better without smut however it isn’t super present and doesn’t really drive the story forward so don’t feel like you’re missing anything if you skip the smut!
The Doctor by Nikki Sloane- 💦
Ex’s Dad
personally didn’t care for this book, smut starts off way too quick and I’m more of a slow burn girl. It is a novella yet, it was still too quick. However! You may love it <3

Not a callout post @ this review, but just using it as an example. If ever you order from us and have some issue like this pls just reach out and let us know!! I *want* to fix it for you and to make sure you get the skirt you expected!!
Like about this one in particular, I feel awful that of course someone who really specifically cares about which side is white would be the one person to get a split skirt where the panels were swapped & the white ended up on the other side 😭 Pls if anything like this ever happens to you just email us so I can find your order and fix the issue OTL
#witch vamp#please..#if you just leave a review it's not attached to your order or anything and i can't do much about it#email us and i can send you one that isn't flipped :[#psa#thank you#unhappy customers

goodreads reviews regularly use weird roleplay language like "[sips tea] well this books was certainly... [sighs] [places cup of tea back on table] [crosses arms] where do I start" and letterboxd reviews are regularly not even reviews just extremely long personal stories that get you invested in learning more about the op's tumultuous relationship with their stepfather and how their mother's cancer diagnosis simultaneously made things worse due to stress but also made them grow closer as they were forced to bond over a terrible situation, and then you get to the end and remember you were reading a 2 star review for sharknado 4
#NOT a real example btw don't try to find a deeply personal story attached to a 2 star review of sharknado 4#I just patched together multiple occurences into an exaggerated hypothetical. ty#not fr

love seeing that the tag is trending. as if it means anything
#every time this happens there’s twenty inevitable: ‘was it renewed???’ posts and every time the answer has been no. we’re just insane#it actually just kinda hit me how embarrassingly bad the show being cancelled would wreck me like oh god this is why I don’t get attached#to things. oh yeah. fuck#im not uhhh pessimistic but I am. prone to anxiety and dread#genuinely wondering what’s taking netflix so long to give a yes or a no like there’s ought to be a reason right. are they waiting to see if#the streaming rates or reviews or overall popularity go up / sustain themselves??? did they decide a while ago and just aren’t telling us#for one reason or another? are they negotiating contracts or something? im going to wither away and die#rambling#dead boy detectives#if there is a god then we will get compensated for the wait by the announcement of confirmation for at least Two more seasons#wouldn’t that be something

tl;dr Stranger (the kdrama also known as Forest of Secrets/Secret Forest) is incredible, the best mystery/investigation/legal drama I've ever watched, if you're a fan of the genre I def recommend it (the two main seasons are on Netflix, too).
#i should rly write a proper review post already#yume in dramaland#tvn stranger#kdrama#it's so well written#well directed#well acted#well everything#also i'm now way too attached to that one asshole#it should be illegal for guys like him to have character development#now i'm stuck rooting for him :<#(jk)

I finished reading Buster Keaton's memoirs and honestly I loved this book so much that I miss it (it's been only two hours)
Highlights from the last two chapters include:
the way he defines his marriage to Eleanor as the best thing that happened to him in 1940
some anecdotes about Chaplin and thoughts on the situation he was facing at the time, since he was basically exiled from the USA
the way he narrates the reunion with his two sons, and the joy that transpires from reading about the regular visits he receives from them and their respective families - and being called grandpa (dear god it is so heartwarming)
and last but not least, the memory of being on a ship in the city of Genova where the sailors recognized him and called him "Booster". At first I laughed and thought "ah, typical compatriots in the '50s, greeting a foreigner and getting their name wrong" - then I remembered my own language's rules and realized that "oo" corresponds to the pronunciation for the letter "u" in Italian. They were calling him by his name, only using the so-called "pronunciation of a word as it is written" and that made me smile so much so much for some reason.
I wonder if he ever knew that we referred to him as "Saltarello" (I don't know if it can be translated, but it derives from the word "salto", that is "jump").
Anyway I strongly recommend this book for every fan out there if they haven't already read it. Beyond being parts of a life that changed cinema, it also contains a first-person point of view of what the film industry was like in the '20s and '30s, how it changed, as well as some comments about that slice of society.
10/10 would gladly erase this from my memory just to read it the first time again
#buster keaton#my wonderful world of slapstick#claire reviews#I've gotten so attached to this dude it hadn't happened in months

poyt 5 is such a fucking rollercoaster, y’all! like i feel like people may not like it bc it’s so all over the place and it reads more like a book than a chapter 😭😭 in the sense that there isn’t just a beginning - middle - climax - end. It’s more like, a bazillion ups and downs, about three climaxes, three very emotional and poignant scenes (although I guess the main heart-wrenching scene is the big one in the middle, and then there’s a lot of mini heart-wrenches) and then there’s also a bit of comedic stuff which we haven’t seen in the other poyt parts, and some heavy romance stuff and revelation stuff, of course the main biggest climax, and then the ending and then the epilogue…
I guess I’m saying all this bc I feel like people will get bored halfway through bc it’s so super long 😭😭😭😭 I’m so so so anxious about people losing interest bc poyt 5 is very different structure wise 😭😭 I just threw EVERYTHING in without caution and now I’m editing and it’s like… some scenes are way too long but then I don’t want to cut anything, I feel like everything is so important to the story!!! And I keep thinking back to poyt 4 to reassure myself, bc it was 22k words long but I remember some of you saying that it didn’t FEEL like 22k words bc it went by quickly! I JUST HOPE y’all feel the same way about poyt 5😭
#god I’m so fuckign nervous about this you’d think I’m writing a bestselling novel or smth 😭#but no it’s just my silly little Steve Rogers fic 😭😭 which I am so attached to and I don’t want anything to go wrong#I’m already so scared bc half the poyt fanbase has vanished 😭#like they’ve left tumblr or some have even unfollowed me bc they didn’t like my views on chris musty evans#which is like fair but YALL USED TO LEAVE SUCH DETAILED REVIEWS on the other chapters#I hope this last chapter gets detailed reviews too bc it’s so long jsjsjsjsk and the finale!!!#also remember my 💙 anon they used to leave the most detailed reviews and I miss them 😔😔😔#anyways#my thoughts 💭

Show review: Destined with You.
So.... I might be in the minority, but as much as I enjoy Rowoon on screen I didn't start watching the show for him.
I was hoping for a witch/shaman Hongjo kdrama to finish near the eve of Halloween as the show seemed to be promising (very logically it seemed to be heading that way!). And she did cast some spells to my pleasure, but to my massive displeasure her witch arc was entirely forgotten about in favor of... not even sure what that kidnapping sequence was all about. Somehow most of Hongjo's agency as a character vanished into the ether as well during the past few episodes. Her character growth consisted of building the confidence to stand up to Nayeon, but her stubborn self reliance fueled by a lifetime of loneliness and trauma (her mother! Her father!!!!) stayed and was left unaddressed. And not to be dramatic, but I might die mad about it.
So past lifes were real, the curses and spells were real, Aengcho was really a shaman and the Gardener for whatever reason (also unexplored) wanted to marry Hongjo in the next life. But Hongjo in current day went from a strong, feisty character who was ready to spell cast her way in and out of trouble into... someone to intentionally get herself kidnapped??
It's like this show was written in the 2000s to early 2010s AND it hated women. I had high hopes for Ms. Ma, Shinyu's mother and Eunwol, but they were done DIRTY by this show. Hongjo's storyline was forgotten. Aengcho got relatively less attention compared to Mujin/Rowoon. It's like the main character changed somewhere and it became Shinyu/Mujin. Shinyu and Jaekyung had their cool lawyer moments (good stuff) and Hongjo got... Nayeon arrested? Nayeon, who was another villain without a proper depth or motivation other than being a 2010s kdrama era Mean Girl. Again, Hongjo and Aengcho were done so dirty. Even Shinyu's poor abused mother went back to her abusive husband AND she got pregnant. That was just tragic!
And kindly don't try to tell me that my reasons to dislike this show are wrong - I've every right to review and hate how badly this show butchered the stories of the female characters in this show even if Rowoon was hot in a bunch of scenes like that's going to compensate for it. I am not a Rowoon stan. 🤷♀️ I like him just fine, but it's been frustrating to watch as a non-stan since some stans seem to take any critique of the show as a slight towards Rowoon himself. But he has nothing to do with the writing, so put down your pitchforks, ok.
They should've stuck with the office romcom or made the show into a sageuk and dropped the false advertising of the show as a magic/fantasy drama. The sageuk era episodes SLAPPED. They were tense, beautifully shot and interesting, Aengcho had her moment! I LOVED her in her faceoff with the King, she was powerful and terrifying in that. And as soon as I fell in love with her, Mujin killed Aengcho (in a very meta symbolic way) and that was that. The show itself killed Aengcho and Hongjo.
This show was written to give Rowoon his cool and sexy moments. This was the Rowoon fan service show. Which is fine, but LEAD with that info then. I did enjoy Hongjo and Shinyu together and there were a couple of fun or emotionally compelling episodes, but I didn't finish with positive feelings about the show unfortunately because of the finale.
The writing of the show was exceptionally uneven and erratic. It seemed like from a different decade, but not this one. The relationship between Hongjo and Shinyu was mostly wholesome, but not always the healthiest for several reasons. Shinyu didn't always treat Hongjo well (and vice versa) and he made some decisions for Hongjo in true 2010s kdrama patriarch style.
Hongjo&Shinyu get 7/10 for being adorable and lovable. Loved their relationship development very much. I'm glad they didn't rush to have kids or to marry. The proposal at the beach while addressing Hongjo's dad was endearing.
Plot gets a 3/10 rating. There was potential... and it slipped through the writer's fingers. Loose threads were left untied. Side plots were abandoned or seemingly forgotten about.
Would I rewatch again? Maybe once I stop fuming about how Hongjo was treated by the show, but just for the Shinhong scenes. But it'll take some wound licking and fixit fic writing.
Please universe, give Boah better scripts. She's a wonderful actress and she deserves a role that's cool and that lets her showcase her talent. Many viewers seemed to lose their patience with her, even though the writing of the show was the true issue.
#destined with you#show review#it's mostly not positive so don't read if you can't deal with that ok#still glad to have chatted and raved with you all about the show#just very unhappy with the lost potential of the show plotwise#and thank you in advance for your understanding i just got very attached to hongjo as a character
