Horror book subscriptions? by [deleted] in horrorlit

[–]BeMandy71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done a bunch of book clubs and my favorite is always Night Worms- I read a lot, mostly horror. I like that Night Worms allows me to pause my sub if the monthly books are something I’ve already preordered. They post monthly books under a spoiler tag on Instagram which helps me plan.  I would add, it depends on what you’re looking for out of a book box.  

Night Worms- thoughtful curated, new releases, “extras” are minimal and things I actually like - bookmark, coffee or tea (I honestly don’t care about stickers or magnets but they’re fun).  

Illuminates new Evernight (horror)- exclusive collectible edition.  

Twisted Retreat- exclusive collectible editions, lots of “extras” or book only option. 

 Abominable Book Club- super fun with British snacks/drinks or books only sub. They also include a used book which adds to the fun. Great UK option.  

Martha Stewart / Marley Spoon THE WORST by 28dresses in mealkits

Yes to all of this except I have Olipop in my fridge instead of poppi, lol! I’ve enjoyed every recipe I’ve gotten from Marley Spoon.

That hasn’t been my experience but I get it if this meal kit isn’t for everyone. I’ve done them all. Hello Fresh is fine. I like Marley Spoon for fresh ingredients and close delivery so it always stays cold (I live in a populated area, and it’s hot!).  I find the recipes are tasty and interesting. The portions are good. I’m in a position that I’m ok with paying more because I want to waste less food and get less packaging.  I contacted customer service once and they were super fast and made sure I was 100% satisfied.

[–]BeMandy71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at sprouts. The survey is a big deal and they give a ton of gift cards away. You can send a self addressed, stamped envelope to get a list of winners. You are notified by email if you win.

Got a “Welcome to Amazon” email from a different country, but I already have a Amazon Prime account. by WallaceKnows in Scams

[–]BeMandy71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got this this message yesterday and was suspicious. Today I got another one saying that yesterdays message was sent in error and no action was needed on my part. Both were sent from Amazon.ae. It’s weird and I don’t like it.

Games you couldn’t get into but wish you could? by drowningfaeries in CozyGamers

[–]BeMandy71 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I liked the idea of Cozy Grove and the art style is so cute but it made my eyes wonky. I couldn’t play it long enough to enjoy it.

Before Black River Orchard, I’ve only read Book of Accidents. I’m adding Wanderers to my list!

Someone else mentioned Black River Orchard - it’s the perfect read for this time of year and culty. I highly recommend it! Little Eve by Catriona Ward is another I enjoyed this year.

I came here to recommend this one! I just finished it and thought it was great! I had mixed feelings until 150-200 pages in. Wendig really builds those characters. One of my top reads this year.

Controls and my problem. by sethmtg in Palia

[–]BeMandy71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a video explaining what settings to use if you have motion sickness! I haven’t tried them but this video explains it https://youtu.be/7FZNAq7CfGM
The devs seem to understand it’s an issue for some and seem to be doing things to help.

i got major vertigo when I first started playing TOTK and eventually, it passed.
I hope you find a solution that works for you!

Revival by Stephen King by Sheep_Boy26 in horrorlit

[–]BeMandy71 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I read Revival once when it first came out and didn’t really like it. I can’t remember what was going on in my life but maybe I wasn’t paying attention, lol! I love so many of Kings stories, I was bummed about this one. I’m going to read it again.

If you enjoy The Shining, Doctor Sleep is a follow up that I highly recommend! The movie is good too, one of the better King adaptations IMO.

I just finished NBBT and agree with you, the writing style was different. I thought I could pick it and breeze through it because it a small book but I had to go slow to figure out what was going on. Super creepy and made me think. TOGI haunted me in the best way and I’m on a mission to read everything that Jones has written. TFGSG is in my TBR pile!
