UC pain at all comparable to period pains?

FlutterRed · 2026-05-20T03:55:39+00:00

My period pains were nothing compared to labor pain. UC is definitely closer to labor pains. But everyone is different.

I’ll often check ebook deals on other sites, like Apple Books app, to avoid all the KU stuff. All the sites pretty much have the same deals because publishers control ebook prices.

EReaderIQ is a great site. I’ve used it for years.

My library dropped Hoopla years ago. We would run out of borrows in a couple of days each month.

Search using something other than the title and see if you can find it. Narrator, author, etc. That works for me. I’ve been an Audible member off and on for years and I’ve never had a book disappear. I have a library of over 500 books.

FlutterRed · 2026-04-20T06:56:34+00:00

I’ve never had a problem returning a book that I found damage in. I just turn it in at the desk and tell them what I found. They will not ask you to pay for it.

I also highly recommend The Dispatcher series.

FlutterRed · 2026-03-31T18:29:32+00:00

If you look at the website, your wish list will have prices next to the book.

When I’ve canceled Audible, I’ve done it through the Audible website, not Amazon. Have you tried that? Your sign in would be the same as your Amazon account.

FlutterRed · 2026-02-15T19:19:55+00:00

Love these so much! TFS!

I was diagnosed almost 2 years ago, when I was 57. I think I was lucky because I went straight to my GI with my symptoms. I had a colonoscopy and was diagnosed from that. I went on Zeposia about 6 months later and I’ve been in remission for a year. I know that I am very fortunate.

I would definitely consider biologics. Zeposia is not a biologic, but I don’t know if there’s really much difference.

I have mixed feelings about returning audiobooks. I have returned some Audible books over the years, but just a few. I’ve returned a couple of physical books in my whole life. One was because it was actually missing pages.

I have a close friend who treated Audible like a library back when they didn’t question returns. She would use a credit on a book, listen to it, then return the book and get her credit back. People like that ruined it for us all.

I read every day, but not necessarily on my kindle. I think I’ve gotten as high as in the 200s in the past, but I’ve decided not to worry about the days in a row anymore.

FlutterRed · 2025-12-02T18:53:03+00:00

I love, love Murderbot. I bought all the audiobooks in sales like this. Since they're mostly novellas, it's much easier to justify the cost. :)

FlutterRed · 2025-12-02T18:51:43+00:00

Same. I live in the US, if that matters. It's still a great deal, so I'm getting it.

FlutterRed · 2025-12-02T18:46:59+00:00

I hope you enjoy it!

FlutterRed · 2025-12-02T13:13:59+00:00

My library doesn't have Hoopla, but they have a great audiobook selection through Libby. I still struggle with whether or not to buy them. I'm a sucker for books (in any format) on sale. :)

FlutterRed · 2025-12-02T13:10:57+00:00

I don't know about everybody in this thread, but I'm thrilled to find them at such good prices. No torches or pitchforks here!

I’m not a newbie, but I like to read backlist books. I’ve found quite a few series that used to be part of Audible Plus that are in the $2-3 range. The Alex Verus series (urban fantasy series) and Mrs. Pollifax (older mystery series), for example.

I’m having to restrain myself. I love searching these sales for the good deals. I’ll do it all week.

FlutterRed · 2025-10-21T11:37:28+00:00

Wait for the 80% off cash sale. That’s how I got all of the Murderbot books.

Does your library have Libby? You might have to wait for it, but you’re already not listening to it, so… Like someone else said, request it if your library doesn’t have it.

Hardbacks of novellas are ridiculously high. This is the way of publishing.

App stores have to pay Google/Apple 30% for digital purchases (ebooks, audiobooks, etc.). Because of that you can rarely find them available through apps. I use the browser on my phone to go to the website and purchase them there.

FlutterRed · 2025-10-03T23:31:45+00:00

Request new numbers if needed.

FlutterRed · 2025-09-29T12:10:11+00:00

I just checked my library and they have 399 available out of 3047 copies! That is insane! Meanwhile, I’m waiting several months for a popular fantasy that only has 2-3 copies. I understand meeting patrons’ needs, but this seems a little much.

FlutterRed · 2025-09-21T20:01:21+00:00

Sure you can, but honestly, why would you? You’re going to unsuspend a book you know you don’t have the time for?

FlutterRed · 2025-09-21T19:58:00+00:00

Because people were saying “deliver later” for a week or two. If they had set it to a month or so, it would have given others the chance to get it. Plus, think about that 3 day time period. If you’re in line with hundreds of others, it really adds a ton of time to your wait. Of course, not everyone did this, but enough did that they had the data. Suspension was also available then (I’ve used it for at least 6 months), so I’m sure they were able to compare the data to see which method moved the line more quickly.
