How To Find Peace In Your Imperfections

How To Find Peace In Your Imperfections

Hello Loves! This week has been super crazy with work and school and my boyfriend visiting and I forgot to post this guest post by the lovely Molly Shaffer. So I’ll step aside and let her take over the blog today. For over three decades, I’ve struggled with self-hate. So much so that I couldn’t stand to see the woman staring back at me in the mirror. The world said I had to change in order to be…

[jacnaylor]

romance book recs!!

romance is my feel good genre, and it’s also usually somewhat easier to read during stressful times, so here’s a list of some books that are either romance or have a romance element i feel like mentioning.

(EDIT: I STAYED UP TILL 2 AM DOING THIS HELP. this is why some of the comments. don’t make any fucking sense.)

romance books and authors:

CONTEMPORARY:

1. The Bromance bookclub series by Lyssa Kay Adams (A group of men form a bookclub dedicated to romance books in order to understand women, improve their relationships and become better men. It’s funny, cute, and all about dismantling toxic masculinity one romance book at a time)

2. Mariana Zapata books (The queen of slowburn romance. The only book I’ve read by her is ‘Under Locke’, but ‘From Lukov with love’ and ‘Kulti’ have rave reviews. There is so much build up and SO much sexual tension with a great pay off)

3. Milly Johnson books (A uk author whose books are primarily set in the north, these are total feel good books. Not so much graphic and more romantic, but her characters are great and her plot lines really hook you in.)

4. The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren (Super cute, quick enemies-to-lovers story about a bridesmaid who has to go on a honeymoon with the best man when the bride and groom get food poisoning. Obviously this means the holy of holies: fake relationship!)

5. Well met by Jen De Luca (Oh my gosh! Super fun, the characters are just wonderful especially our heroine. A hate-to-love romance set at a renaissance fair! All about overcoming the limits you set on yourself and rethinking your first impressions.)

6. Katherine Center books (My personal favourites are ‘How to walk away’ about a woman who falls for her PT after a near fatal plane crash. And ‘Happiness for beginners’ about a woman taking part in a wilderness trail with her brothers annoying best friend. She writes such great plots and you really feel all the emotions!)

7. Mhairi Mcfarlane books (my personal favourites are ‘Here’s looking at you’ about a woman who comes face to face with her high school bully years later - only he doesn’t recognize her. And he’s not awful? Don’t worry. I know how that synopsis sounds. He’s not excused his actions, but you also understand how he’s grown and changed. It definitely gets you in the feels though. As does ‘You had me at hello’ Which is about a couple from university meeting again years later. God this woman can write angst and yearning!!)

8. A part of me by Anouska Knight (On the same day she and her husband have been accepted into the adoption process, their marriage implodes. This has such a cute romance which follows hate-to friends- to love and it’s v funny)

9. Southern Eclectic series by Molly harper (Just as it sounds. Southern small town romance with a great, quirky cast of characters)

10. Maggie’s man by Lisa Gardner (writing as Alicia Scott) (An escaped convict kidnaps a woman from the courthouse to act as his hostage whilst he tries to prove his innocence. Surprisingly funny and warm. Maggie as a heroine is an absolute joy. They’re sort of chaotic together and it’s a wild ride.)

11. The Mister by E.L James (LISTEN OK - SIT BACK DOWN - It’s not winning awards but it’s actually decent! I was skeptical, but I will admit I was won over. I mean parts are cheesy but it’s so addictive. Basically a rich man falls for his cleaning lady - but it’s also about the yearning. It’s also quite action packed as there’s danger, drama and a chase across europe to get the girl.)

12. RECENT Colleen Hoover (Now, you may enjoy older CH books. Personally I find them very problematic. Now I’ve really enjoyed her recent books though. Especially ‘Without Merit’ and ‘It ends with us’ and ‘Regretting you’. High angst, high drama, dark topics for all of her books. But you can tell she’s matured with her writing. She isn’t for everyone but they’re addictive, fast paced reads.

13. The Austenland duology by Shannon Hale (You might have seen the Austenland movie - The cutest, cheesiest, sweetest, campiest movie ever. Well there’s a book! It’s about women who go on a holiday and live their own Jane Austen story with actors. The first book leans towards Pride and Prejudice and Mansfield park. The second book is more Northanger abbey and Emma.

14. Brigid Kemmerer contemporaries (She is an auto-buy author for me, especially her contemporaries. She writes the best teenage characters, the best teenage boys I’ve ever read about. Her characters are real, she writes about kids trying their best, struggling, and being good, and kind, and the world not being kind to them. Usually the books have a pov from both the female and male love interest. I would rec any of them tbh. ‘Letters to the lost’ comes before it’s companion novel ‘More than we can tell’. I loved ‘Call it what you want’ with has modern Robin Hood elements!!!! seriously she is my favourite YA contemporary author.

15. Sophie Kinsella books (If you haven’t picked up her stand alone novels then what are you doing???? she is the queen!!!! Personal favourites are ‘Can you keep a secret’ and ‘I’ve got your number)

16. A quiet kind of thunder by Sara Barnard (I love her ok. Her books are short and sweet but she packs a punch. TBH these aren’t primarily romance, they’re more just about teenage girls but this one has a good romance element so I’m putting it on here. It’s about Steffi, a selective mute who sometimes communicates with basic sign language who is assigned to look after the new boy at school Rhys, who is deaf.)

17. Meet me at the museum by Anne Youngson (GORGEOUS! moving, tender. A lonely housewifes strikes up a correspondence with a widowed museum curator in Denmark. Oh gosh. I just love this one. It’s about friendship, love, grief, second chances, the choices we make. Seriously love this one and it’s not that long.)

FANTASY:

1. Sorcery of thorns by Margaret Rogerson (Elisabeth has grown up in the great library, protecting grimoires with powers and fearing sorcerers. When a dangerous grimoire is released, she’s forced to team up with an enigmatic sorcerer and his demonic servant in order to save the world.)

2. Sky in the deep duology by Adrienne Young (A viking inspired story about a warrior who is captured by the tribe she is at war with. Such good tension and it’s also got a lot of action. Battle couple romance! Mutual respect! Hate to love!)

3. The Rose Garden by Susanna Kearsley (I’ve reread this book once but will end up reading it again. It’s a time travel romance about a woman staying in cornwall dealing with the death of her sister who is transported back and forth to the 17th century. It’s a favourite. The romance is wonderful but the stakes are really high too. I also love ‘Belleweather’ by the same author)

4. An ember in the ashes series by Sabaa Tahir (Oh god, the romance. THE ROMANCE! it’s so much. The angst, the pining, the longing. The first book follows Laia, part of a slave class in a roman inspired world. She begins spying in the top military academy and meets Elias, a reluctant soldier. This is a proper fantasy series with only the first three books out, but it’s so great.)

5. Alias Hook by Lisa Jensen (Let me just copy the blurb ok: “Meet Captain James Benjamin Hook, a witty, educated Restoration-era privateer cursed to play villain to a pack of malicious little boys in a pointless war that never ends. But everything changes when Stella Parrish, a forbidden grown woman, dreams her way to the Neverland in defiance of Pan's rules.” I MEAN COME ON. a gorgeous adult fairytale with love and redemption at the center.

6. The Mediator series by Meg Cabot (Obviously Meg Cabot is the most iconic and we stan. But this series is my absolute favourite by her. About Suze Simon, a kickass, no nonsense mediator - Someone who helps ghosts move on to the other side. Sometimes by force. She has to move house and ends up sharing her room with a 100 year old hot ghost named Jesse. The tension. The angst. THE BANTER!!!!)

7. House of Earth and Blood by Sara J Maas (a half fae half mortal girl tries to solve a murder with the help of a fallen angel. It’s a LONG book, but for me personally it flew by. It’s a big new fantasy world but the romance has a great build. Overcoming grief! Being normal together! Being in danger together! THE UST! the characters are so good. I ahven’t been this impressed by a new series for a while)

8. Cursebreakers series by Brigid Kemmerer (yep, she gets another mention. This one is a beauty and the best retelling about a man forced to relive the same season over and over, becoming a literal beat, until a girl from our world can break the curse. The second book, following secondary characters, is my fave so far. But both feature kickass ladies and those small romantic moments BK is so good at)

9. A court of thorns and roses series by Sara J Maas (a fae inspired beauty and the beast retelling. The only time you support a ship switch. Also the secondary ships are getting their own books and oh my god. I’m so excited.)

HISTORICAL/CLASSICS/MILLS AND BOON

1. Jane Austen (The original rom com queen, obviously. Pride and prejudice and Emma are faves. Also I have a major soft spot for the alwayc chaotic and underrated Northanger Abbey)

2. North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell (Actually might be my favourite classic ever. Often described at an industrial p&p. Margaret, from the south, comes face to face with the harsh reality of the world when she moves up north and comes face to face with a brooding millowner. There’s obviously a lot more nuance than that but. THE PINING!!!!!! THE MISCOMMUNICATION! THE DRAMA!)

3. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer (You might have seen the film. Please also read the book. Told entirely in letters. The sharp witted author Juliet Ashton falls in love with Guernsey and it’s characters whilst researching what happened there during the war. Funny, moving and romantic.)

4. The Veronica Speedwell series by Deanna Raybourn (A butterfly hunter foils her own kidnap and is paired together with a reclusive natural historian. They solve mysteries together. They can’t admit they wanna sleep together. The tension.......unbearable. See also the Julia Grey mysteries by the same author)

5. The warrior knight and the widow by Ella Matthews (So last year I discovered Mills and Boon and I have no shame about it whatsoever. This is a medieval beauty and the beast retelling about a woman being escorted to her fathers estate by an enigmatic and scarred knight. She’s hoping to convince her father to let her steward her own lands, and of course trying not to fall for her escort.)

6. The bareknuckle bastards series by Sarah Maclean (A badass, brooding trio of siblings who rule the underbelly of Covent Garden fall for smart, beautiful women. Opposites attract, Good girl/bad boy, strong women, banter. Super fun historical romance)

7. Redeeming the reclusive earl by Virginia Heath (I just read this and it was seriously cute!!!! And book where the hero blushes even once is a good book in my opinion. Basically aspiring antiquarian named Effie barrels into the life of a new earl - who really just wants to be left alone to be grumpy and sad and disfigured. ALONE. But Effie wants to dig on his land. And she won’t take no for an answer. She also talks A LOT.

8. A family for the widowed governess by Ann Lethbridge (Technically this is part of a series but you don’t need to read them in order and this is the best one. A widow who is being blackmailed accepts a governess post. She can’t tell her employer about the blackmail especially when she starts falling for him.)

9. The bedlam stacks by Natasha Pulley (I read watchmaker and didn’t like it but you might like it. This one also FEAUTRES A M/M ROMANCE. I know this list was super straight im sorry. Anyway this is about a botanist falling in love with a priest in the jungle.

10. The wilderness series by Sara Donati (Think outlander without the time travel and also not set in scotland. Basically Last of the Mohicans fanfiction about Hawkeye’s grown up son. An english woman moves to america when her father promises she can be a school teacher there. Little does she know he actually has plans to marry her off. Things get more complicated when she falls for Nathaniel Bonner, a white man raised native american and who’s daughter and extended family is Native American. Like outlander there’s romance, adventure, history. But unlike the outlander books the love interest is a decent guy (i say as if i don’t love the tv show)

STUFF THAT REALLY ISN’T ROMANCE AT ALL. BUT I SHIP A SHIP.

1. The Lacey Flint series by Sharon Bolton (Lacey Flint is a police officer who becomes involved in the hunt to catch a Jack the ripper copycat. There actually is a strong romantic element with the other lead police officer.)

2. The last hours duology by Minette Walters. A novel about the black death and a closed estate lead by a woman who’s trying to protect her people. There’s also a kind of murder mystery. But she also has a close relationship to one of the surfs that I got super invested in.

3. The Strike series by J.k Rowling (I know we don’t stan anymore but. This series about  PI and his assistant slowly growing closer? Becoming best friends and partners? Not acknowledging any feelings for each other?

Looks as though it might be Nina Dobrev. (I think even "A-" is a stretch for her, but I guess it's possible. She was the lead in her failed sitcom, so I guess that bumps her up a half-notch.) She was with Karlie and Cara at the PFW Dior show, and she's been at a few Dior events where she's taken pics with Karlie. (I assume they're both brand ambassadors? I don't follow that stuff.) Feh. Not so interested. Julianne, come get your girl!!

(The fourth person in the Karlie/Cara/Nina party at the show was Rachel Brosnahan, who's IMO a far better match for the clue. [Rachel has 2 GGs, an Emmy, and a bunch of other noms & awards, but since she's almost entirely on TV, nothing from the Academy.] But she's apparently been married to Jason Ralph (The Magicians) forever, and they kept it secret for several years, so probably not a bearding arrangement.)”

“Speaking of strangely close, here's Dianna Agron showing LOTS of IG love for Tracy Dubb. Which is a little odd, as Tracy used to date Molly Howard, who is allegedly Dianna's special friend these days.

When two "exes" of a man are friendly (Cara and Kendall, for example), we take it to mean that the "dating" wasn't really dating. Does this mean that neither Tracy nor Dianna really "dated" Molly? Or is this some sort of polyamorous situation going on?? Hmm.

Tracy's brother, Stephen, is now married to Selby Drummond, formerly of Vogue. Selby is best known to us for in 2013 being the fifth person at Dianna's final date with Taylor Swift (concert by the group "fun"; Sarah Hyland and Matt Prokop were also there, not long before Matt allegedly used Sarah's head to play bongos on a car hood…per the TRO, anyway.) And in 2014, Selby was on that trip to St. Bart's where Tracy fondled the BEE-youtiful boobs of Bea Shaffer (daughter of Selby's boss, Anna Wintour) and Bea (who later "dated" Mikey Hess) reciprocated. (Molly was also there, and so was [of course] Derek Blasberg.) So are Stephen and Selby legit? (Tracy set them up, we're told. And yes, Derek was at the wedding.) Or is this just a way of bringing Selby into Tracy's extended "family"? I don't know, all i can do is wonder… The last two pics leave little to wonder about. They're just more pics of Joey Anonymous, from back in his school days. (And to be fair, it WAS an all-BOYS school, so it's not as if he had opportunities to take similar pics with girls.) I simply don't know if these have been Taylor's thread, and I've never seen them here before, so:”

“So Enty has a BI up that says that "the tall alliterate model" (Karlie Kloss) is upset that she's losing followers and her views "barely crack five figures". The writer opines that maybe [Karlie] should get back with "the singer" (Taylor Swift) instead of that "A/A- actress" she's been with lately. (???)

Huh? Which prominent actress is Klossy getting kissy with, exactly? Some of the obvious suspects (Brie, Emma, JLaw, Saorise, Natalie) have been AA winners/nominees and the absence of such a mention would seem to disqualify them. (Scarlett Johansson would have qualified, but she just had her first two Oscar noms.)

One commenter suggested KStew, which I guess fits, but wouldn't we have heard of that before? Thoughts? I know there was talk about Karlie being seen with Dianna a couple of years back, but I'd think the blind would have made more of the "triangle" angle in that case, and besides, when was Dianna ever A/A- ?

(Some suggested Cara D, but she was never A-list as an actress. And there was no mention of Karlie's girl being a fellow model. Hmmm.)

Shailene Woodley has two GG nominations, two SAGs, and an Emmy nod, but no Academy Award nominations, I note…”

16. A bit of nonfiction The Brontës by Juliet Barker. Chernobyl Prayer by Svetlana Alexievich. The Whisperers by Orlando Figes.  SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome by Mary Beard. Pavlovsk: Life of a Russian Palace by Suzanne Massie.

17. A book you got from Tumblr and now you can’t stop thinking about Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones. The Secret History by Donna Tart.

18. A book you had high expectations for and then the author OVER delivered The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern. Once Upon a River by Dianne Setterfield. 

I tag everyone who has not been tagged yet :)

Weird request, but do you have any faceclaims that are gingers? It's so hard to find ginger faceclaims of different ethnicities, body types, etc.

Hey anon! I’m not sure if you only wanted diverse faceclaims only but below are 200+ ginger faceclaims and I have noted the diverse suggestions. Please let me know if you’d like more specific suggestions for example from a certain age range.

 Just some stuff I dug up whilst digging up photos for the “10 Year Challenge” (available on Social Media™ platforms everywhere).

These are all development art from my first week on “Fish Hooks”. It was our first week and we were so full of fish puns that it was making us sick. We had no choice but to just get it out of our systems so that we could try to move on and make a show. So we had a special meeting one day to exhaust the possibilities.

Top Pic: We were all just spitting things out, so I can’t say who thought of what, but up top you’ve got Coach Salmons and Kim Jong Krill drawn by Alex Hirsch.  For whatever reason, Krill didn’t end up in the series.

On the left and bottom are the Chovies and Ann Emeny (I think we renamed Ann Emeny and gave the “Ann” to Ann Chovie) by William Reiss.

Black Molly, and the sadly unused “Marvin Hagfish” were doodled by me.

Mid Pic: The evolution of Albert Glass! Albert was voiced by Atticus Shaffer from “The Middle”. Weirdly, after “Fish Hooks”, I ended up at Warner Bros. where they were still filming “The Middle” and occasionally Atticus would ride by on his bike and say hi. He’s a cool guy like that.

Below that, we’ve got the leech guy and Stickler’s daughter by William Reiss. I don’t think either one ever made it into the show. On the upper right is Rocktopus, who was designed waaaay back at the beginning and didn’t show up until the final episodes.

Bottom Pic: It’s “Rick and Morty” fish from a decade in the future! This was Justin Roiland’s take on a science teacher.

And right below that is William Reiss’ very first take on the Hokey Poke, complete with a blobfish who would eventually become Chief.

Looking back, we came up with a bunch of good characters that day and a couple of story ideas we ended up using. There’s even a “John Waters” fish, and we ended up using Mr. Waters’ voice in our third season. Just goes to show...

Don’t punderestimate.
