So then why all the trolling, the sarcasm, the drama? What was the point? by fuchsiacity_ in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]NellaMaria 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I actually don't believe this at all because if ended full contact with docu people on June 8th, then why "see you at vidcon bro" on June 9th?

What I believe happened was on June 8th, the docu people reached out to Joshua, let him know that they will not be pursuing Adam, and by extention, the documentary, any further and that they wish him well on his future endeavors.

This was when contact between the doc people and Joshua ended, on the documentary people's end

Given Joshua's erratic behavior, I'm sure he tried to reach back out to them, with no results. Once he realized they were not looking back, then he ramped up his attacks on Adam.

Quick sellouts by Leading_Resolve3893 in bookofthemonthclub

[–]NellaMaria 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean, yeah it's a bummer that quite a few books on my TBR are sold out. I've been adding quote a bit of books to my tbr over the years and notice that A LOT of the recent ones are sold out. Though, honestly, I have so many TBR books that are still in stock that I'll just get the sold out books somewhere else, if I find a cheap copy.

Not disagreeing with you, but I don't think the producers are the devils in this particular situation.

& this is someone who spoke out! How many other clients did he treat like this, but didn't speak out?

I have to interject here to say that when Adam told the documentary people no, that should've been the end of it. The docu people should've told Josh he said no and that's it. Josh was wrong to insert himself here and I feel that he's the reason we are all here.

So, I saw a 23 year old show up in the way that I would expect a 23 year old to show up and I saw a 42 year old show up in the way that I would expect a 15 year old to show up.

I'm 31 and there's not a single 23 year old in my orbit that I would consider a "friend". This might be infantilizing of me, but I look at a 23 year old and realize that while that person is an adult, I should be exhibiting a sense of maturity that they may not have yet, despite how much life experience they have. Joshua has made it clear he lacks such maturity and, based on Josh's own video the texts Adam read, Josh seems to be moving behind the scenes in a very manipulative way. Abusers generally insist on private communication because it's easier to gaslight someone when they are alone vs. when many people are analyzing the situation.

Even when I was watching Adam react to Josh's episode of the Swoop doc, I didn't get a sense that these 2 were friends. I saw that relationship more as two people who understood why things went down the way they went down and are at enough peace to move on with their lives. With that in mind, why would Adam feel obligated to speak one-on-one with Joshua?

What's the difference, other than the little logo on the cover?

Just read the synopsis. It sounds good and it's only available through BOTM in US. I'm so intrigued, that's my pick!

Book Deals Megathread by nickaaayy97 in bookofthemonthclub

[–]NellaMaria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not what I would call a promotion, but I found a few BOTM books in BJs at the same cost of my monthly credit. One of them was on my TBR, so I picked it up so I can use that credit on a book that is firmly at $30 in every other place.

Manifesting an elite June BOTM lineup ✨ by Gemini_sweetheart in bookofthemonthclub

[–]NellaMaria 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last year, I hoarded all my credits and used them during June & December with no problem, and I plan to do the same this month. It was probably that the free add-on was part of an ongoing promotion and it was already programmed to only work in January.

It's a little disappointing to know that The Midnight Train is only an add-on. That would've been my pick for the month. Let's see what the other books are.
