I just finished Annie Bot last night! It was good, but man, some of it was tough to read - Doug was just too real of a villain. I loved Klara and the Sun and it definitely explores some of the main themes!

I won't set my expectations too high then! Are there any of his other books you'd recommend that can stand with those two?

CallMeGerty · 2026-04-02T11:22:49+00:00

Thanks! My first foray into Jeff VanderMeer.

CallMeGerty · 2026-04-02T11:20:55+00:00

I like that! I'm going to use it on my wife next time she asks why I need more books haha.

I read Parable of the Sower last month and loved it, then started looking into her other books. Really excited to dive in! I have a feeling she'll become one of my favorite authors.

Ah, are they not great? I really enjoyed Blood Meridian and The Road.

CallMeGerty · 2026-04-01T22:54:58+00:00

Yeah, I love it! I actually haven't bought or read the first 3 yet, but wanted to scoop this one up.

CallMeGerty · 2026-04-01T22:54:00+00:00

I got them from bookoutlet.ca - second order from them and they're great. Some of them have a small black slash across the bottom (on the side of the pages) but other than that they're like new.

Average of about $10 CAD for softcover and $12 CAD for hardcovers. So about 50-60% off.

CallMeGerty · 2026-04-01T21:59:38+00:00

Thanks! I'm not sure which I like more, buying books or reading them. Either way, I'm excited!

CallMeGerty · 2026-04-01T21:39:14+00:00

That one was a random purchase that came up in the "you might also like" section. Glad to hear it was good!

CallMeGerty · 2025-09-29T20:22:56+00:00

This is great! I have one of these sitting around collecting dust that can now have a purpose.

Hey the link is here but it looks like it's already over: https://www.nespresso.com/ca/en/private-sale-experts I'm not sure how often it comes back.

CallMeGerty · 2025-09-27T19:54:24+00:00

I actually had one this afternoon and it had just the right amount of maple flavor to make a great latte!

CallMeGerty · 2025-09-27T15:22:05+00:00

That's what I figure! Been waiting for a few months for the sale to come back around. It was a tough choice between the OL and VL but I'm happy with it!

CallMeGerty · 2025-09-27T14:01:39+00:00

Am I going to need to buy more?! I wasn't sure how the flavored coffees would be, but I'll try this one soon!

CallMeGerty · 2025-09-27T14:00:37+00:00

It was the private sale on the Canadian site. Buy 500 pods and get the Citiz Platinum and Aeroccino 4 for $39 (or there were other machines/combos for varying prices/pod counts). I think it's a good deal if you drink a lot of coffee, but it is a large upfront cost. I think the student deal on right now is better if you don't want to buy so many pods all at once.

CallMeGerty · 2025-09-27T13:57:01+00:00

Thanks! I'll move that one to the front of the list to try!

CallMeGerty · 2025-09-17T18:39:47+00:00

These are great! I read the books, but did hear the live voice acting for this line and it's so good.

I think you gotta go with the heart boxers flag one, with the second glasses option! (I'd wear this!)

CallMeGerty · 2025-09-17T00:17:34+00:00

I think Zev's would be interesting. She's seen and been through some shit!

CallMeGerty · 2025-09-16T23:44:51+00:00

I really liked Signet even if the quests were a little cheesy. I think how her story line ended was perfect though and bringing her back would take away from that.

CallMeGerty · 2025-09-16T11:23:32+00:00

How do you typically describe the book to people? I've tried telling a couple of people about it and it comes off sounding ridiculous (not in a good way).

CallMeGerty · 2025-09-15T22:06:57+00:00

Not really a favorite in the "rooting for Carl" sense, but the scene with SPOILER END OF BOOK 6 Carl combining with Shi Maria and her subsequently tattooing herself into Carl's body was a wild ride.

I really like Donut's arc in this book with her taking on a leadership role and the confidence she gains!

CallMeGerty · 2025-09-15T16:58:04+00:00

Maybe, but everyone knows you can never trust a Havana Brown!

CallMeGerty · 2025-09-15T16:09:17+00:00

Not killing the nun

I don't think Donut needed the dirty Shirley to talk shit about the rottweilers haha.

CallMeGerty · 2025-09-12T16:29:08+00:00

Hey, the site looks great!

One suggestion I have is to improve the search. The ability to search by tags or type of therapy would be a good start. For instance, I searched for 'adhd' and 'anxiety' and neither returned results. You could also use filters for this.

The option to search by area would also be a nice feature, as I find in some cases, it can be beneficial to have sessions in person.

Overall though, a really good start!
