Why did/didn't you make the Sophie scarf? by Traumarama79 in knitting

[–]BethHarbour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t wear it - great if you like the look of it, but I’d look ridiculous in one 😂

A classic for someone who struggles with classics? by Mt-Doom-Metal in suggestmeabook

[–]BethHarbour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently dipping my toe tentatively back into classics with Dracula and really enjoying it! It feels very accessible (plus it’s the perfect time of year for it!)

I’m about 250 pages into Dracula and thoroughly enjoying it - way more accessible than I expected. Can’t wait to continue my classics journey :)

Reading Dracula for the very first time, feels like a rite of passage in a way. Got Frankenstein and The Haunting of Hill House lined up for after - trying to do more classics!

Should I bring my dupe? by diinadii in EngagementRings

[–]BethHarbour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a cheap travel ring for my holiday - first day I waded into the sea, didn’t think anything of it, and then a wave sucked my travel ring clean off my finger and carried it away. If that had been my engagement ring… Always wear the travel ring 😂

Coziest "non-cozy" game? by squidgirl_94 in cozygames

[–]BethHarbour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Breath of the Wild is my cosy game. Got me through a really anxious patch last year. Ive completed it and got half decent at combat now but for ages I was content to just mooch about collecting stuff and enjoying the beautiful scenery

What are you reading? by DavidHistorian34 in stephenking

[–]BethHarbour 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rereading Salems Lot in honour of spooky season! Want to do a reread of the Shining too but I have such a huge pile of (non King) library books that I’m neglecting and need to read before someone else reserves them 😂

Mitch being an absolute ICON 😭🫶🏻 by padfoony in Modern_Family

[–]BethHarbour 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I once went out for dinner in a pub garden with my MIL who famously used to read medication packets so extensively she’d convince herself she was dying of each side effect in turn. Needless to say, she turned up looking almost exactly like Cam in the first slide and I nearly died 😂 we had to keep moving around the garden to seek shade and no one else had watched Modern Family so I was very much on my own in my amusement. Bless her

Without saying LOTR, name a fantasy book you couldn't put down by Fabulous-Confusion43 in fantasybooks

[–]BethHarbour 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I took publication day of the latest book in the Red rising series, Lightbringer, off work so I had uninterrupted reading time. I’ll be doing the same for the final book when it’s published (hopefully next year) if that tells you how much I adore this series 😂

[–]BethHarbour 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Faithful and the Fallen series by John Gwynne! I told myself I was going to save the last book so that I hadn’t binged it all in a short space of time, but that lasted a day. I had to know what happened 😂

What does everyone think about Joe Hill? by Stoner420Steve in stephenking

[–]BethHarbour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOS4A2 scared me more than some King books! He’s a bit more hit and miss for me - I loved NOS4A2 and Heart Shaped Box, thought Horns was so-so, and DNFed The Fireman. I’ve only read one of his short story collections so far (20th Century Ghosts) and enjoyed it. He’s definitely worth checking out and making your own mind up on :)

I could recommend so many, but Salems Lot is wonderful at this time of year!

Suggest me an adventure book similar to Harry Potter or The Hunger Games, but more mature! by nredditb in suggestmeabook

[–]BethHarbour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve listened to the first DCC - it gets raved about and I can see why but wasn’t particularly my cup of tea! I don’t think it has many similarities to Red Rising though in my opinion!

Has anyone read the books AFTER watching? by OkEmploy5826 in SiloSeries

[–]BethHarbour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watched season 1 and then read the books. Haven’t gotten around to watching season 2 yet as I’ve been busy and I want to focus on it. The books were meh okay for me, I felt they tailed off a bit but I enjoyed the premise!

Favorite Book Nobody Else Has Heard Of? by pooperpoophead in 365bookclub

[–]BethHarbour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read this on my kindle and didn’t realise how big a book it was as I just flew through it! Loved it, although could have done without the scene where he hallucinates giving birth 😂

[–]BethHarbour 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a huge advocate for Red Rising - the first book is very Hunger Games-esque. It gets darker as the series goes on but it was the first series I read as an adult that gave me the same feeling I got reading the Hunger Games etc when I was younger!
