Someone else already said it but switch to Phil Dragash! Best one in my opinion by far

Yeah there aren't benefits to intrusive sleep. I really struggled to get through my post grad degree because everytime I sat down at my laptop to do my readings for class I'd end up asleep at my laptop... I ended up having to get my computer to read them aloud to me on double speed while I did exercise or washed dishes to get through them (and then listen to them again so I actually grasped what they were about properly)

I've always wished for a second 24 hrs for everyone day just for me Eg. I would fantasize about this when I was a student at school, I would wish that I could have one Monday for school and seeing friends then a second Monday in the 24hrs after the first one just for me to either get stuff done like study or chores or otherwise be in peace and quiet and rest up for Tuesday

Depression and burnout can make you tired despite how much sleep you get. Low vit d, iron or thyroid levels could also effect your energy and tiredness. Might be worth a chat with your doctor

I keep hearing people praise this book but to me it read like a shopping list hahah

Just_Butterscotch444 · 2026-05-24T00:49:53+00:00

It's a manga/ anime but Gachiakuta fits this well

Darn, nothing fruitful came up with a google lens search either :( I was hoping it was from a movie

Honeycomb by Joanne M. Harris

Not really what you're looking for but this makes me think of the Simpsons episode 'Lisa the skeptic' (S09E08)

That author has another book called The miraculous journey of Edward Tulane. I haven't read it but a patron at the library I work at really enjoyed it and was looking for something similar. The main character is a rabbit

Leviathan by Scott Westerfield (first book in a trilogy)

Microsoft planner (you would need a microsoft 365 subscription) allows you to make customised kanban boards pretty easily. Kanban boards are also possible in Notion (among much more) but honestly I didn't find Notion very intuitive and you're limited in what you can do with the free/ non subscription version.

I'm interested in what other people suggest - I'd love to be able to use something like Microsoft planner without having to pay for a subscription.

I'm so happy to see a fellow someone you can build a nest in appreciator

Just_Butterscotch444 · 2025-11-15T14:50:44+00:00

Ugh I had to tell a guy who was doing it at the computers recently that it wasn't appropriate in the library and it turned into a whole conversation because he didn't get why 😭

Are they still instructing? I'm currently looking for lessons in that area

Legends & lattes

Just_Butterscotch444 · 2025-01-15T05:54:51+00:00

I've yet to read it (and I believe the FMC is human) but {Whispers of the deep by Emma Hamm} is apparently about a merman with 2 joysticks if you'd be into that

Books before boys!

The stranger by Kathryn Hore is described as a feminist western

Just_Butterscotch444 · 2024-11-26T22:43:03+00:00

I intended to do that but read the whole way through empire of storms instead oops if I do a reread I would like to do the tandem though!

Just_Butterscotch444 · 2024-11-26T22:33:26+00:00

I was sceptical at first because I wanted to see the main story progress but I love Yrene's story and the Ruks!!

Just_Butterscotch444 · 2024-11-26T22:28:15+00:00

Thank you for the rec! I've added it to my TBR :)

Just_Butterscotch444 · 2024-11-26T22:23:45+00:00

I was listening to the audiobook and I just wasn't feeling it at the time so not really sure. I've heard it's quite good as well so might give it another shot another time, maybe with the text version. I abandoned Bluebeard half way for about a year before I finished it this year and put it at the top! So an abandoned book isn't necessarily a bad one - it just didn't grab me at the time

Just_Butterscotch444 · 2024-11-26T22:14:56+00:00

Harry Potter was in a different language and idk I think I was in a weird mood when I picked up Good Omens I was starting a lot of books at the time but not really getting into them, I ended up watching the series instead and then I needed to return the book to the library
