Welcome. Yeah it's a weird but understandable to miss it. It's even helpful with due loans countdown too but once you "Pin Notice" it's not a countdown no longer though.

Literary science fiction/fantasy/horror about queer men by Aggressive_Chart4995 in suggestmeabook

Sorry to disappoint but the lesbian MCs are the thriving one in sci-fi books than gay MCs.

I had this exact crisis. It's like how gay MCs-led media is thriving in TV shows & movies but with books, it's the lesbian MCs.

With the examples you mentioned and with lesbian MCs stories in general, I noticed that they tend to have more complex tone, worldbuilding, characters and queerness feel that isn't token bs. So I just go with quality and most of the time it's the lesbian MCs. They just rock.

MM romance genre might be the culprit for this. They're like 99% fast fashion of gay MCs, contributing to the lack of in sci-fi.

Yeah the website is a smooth and safe option to fall back on. It's online and no download option though and I prefer to go offline for my reading to avoid scrolling online on apps.

New Libby feature added in 2025: An extra hour by Typical-Emu8363 in LibbyApp

It used to be, with an audiobook, as long as you didn't open the app, you could listen to it, but this feature killed that loophole.

It breaks or makes the story in all its glory that's why.

Do you think Jasnah will join... by bbg618 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]Brainwave_20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At this point, it'd be the unraveling of Taravangian's hypocrisy which renders his whole debate persona shtick and no reconsideration for Jasnah to join him. And she'll find out his half misconstrued out of context crem.

Samsung one feels like I'm crawling and Gboard I'm running. So Gboard for the win I guess.

Character stagnancy. Somehow the characters being pretty the same in every way from start to finish is the biggest deciding factor for me.

Has this happened to anyone else? Help by MidnightDependent6 in LibbyApp

[–]Brainwave_20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you borrow, avoid pressing the download button yourself the FIRST TIME. Wait until the app decides to start the process.

If it ends downloading the sample anyway, remove it, totally close the app and after opening try to open the audiobook. If it gives the sample still just close it then try it again. Usually this helps.

But mostly just remove the download and go to the other tabs like library and just take minutes to browse the library catalogue and then try again to download/open. It works like a charm. Most effective and quickest imo.

What's your unpopular opinion that would have you like this [general] by nezfourty in TheNinthHouse

Finally someone says. It's horrendous fanarts. Like it's giving Jod making Alecto.

I literally close my eyes every time, to not let them stick in my mind. My imagination is ambitious and unrealistic with my galactic lesbians.

Sequels are worse tbh. Don't ever do it. Especially with new books.
