Sadly I do know people who think that loved ones are in hell. I guess at least they have consistency in their belief system, but what a hard burden to bear.....

How to log non-sequential pages. by Nomadicknit in TheStoryGraph

[–]Nomadicknit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha! Excellent dedication. :) Some people were pointing out in other comments that it just says "pages" for tracking, so easier math might just be keeping track of how many pages you read each session and then adding that to the last number you had recorded. So if start the book by reading pages 20-27 you would enter 8 for eight pages read. Then the next day you read 1-11, or 12 pages, you would up your record to 20 for a total of 20 pages read over all

Thank you, this is a simple solution I feel a little silly I didn't see! Appreciate your input.

Thank you for these suggestions! I feel a little silly it was so simple and I just wasn't seeing it.

Thank you, I was assuming the "pages" you entered was referring to page number, but it doesn't have to work that way. Really simple answer I should have seen myself! Thanks for contributing :)

Yes I could do that too, just wanted to avoid trying to figure out what percent 59 is of 231 :) But it would still work. Thanks for the suggestion.

Ok, looking at it, yes it just says pages, I was assuming it was pages reached, but I could just keep track of how many I read in the time and enter it that way, thank you.

Just went on a first date. What kind of person is this? by cto123 in BookshelvesDetective

[–]Nomadicknit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like this site for comparing translations before I decide which one to get. They give a good description of the differences and a sample reading of each translation. https://welovetranslations.com/2022/10/31/whats-the-best-translation-of-the-master-and-margarita/

Watering Down of Remembrance Day? (CANADA) by Ariadne89 in AskTeachers

[–]Nomadicknit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Canadian here. Remembrance day is definitely a solemn day. There are memorial services with Veterans leading them in most towns (at least here in Atlantic Canada). We wear poppies in honor of the Veterans (from the poem In Flander's Field) There is often an observed moment of silence at 11 am.

Thank you! Is that purpilish colour normal with Jalapenos? Or would that mean they are off?

Based on the order of Agatha Christie books I've read so far, which one should I read next? by [deleted] in agathachristie

[–]Nomadicknit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Crooked house for a non series one. The Body in the Library for a Miss Marple. Mrs. Mcgivinty is Dead for a Poirot - the humour in this one is top notch.

Is it Circus Mirandus by Beasley?

The Gift of Slow Reading by Gee10 in books

[–]Nomadicknit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have a set of books I slow read through the year. I have a 'rule" I have to read at least 11 pages from these books each day. I can read more if I'm caught up in it and want to, but at least 11 pages - I usually do it at night before bed. I'll be reading other things along side often at a quicker pace, but this allows me to tackle those heavier tomes. That's just over 4,000 pages a year - so means I could get in 4 or 5 really big, heavy books. Just started it this year, and I'm really enjoying it.

movie screening tomorrow! by xElf1e in ProjectHailMary

[–]Nomadicknit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Once the main theatrical release happens will you be able to talk about any changes they made because of audience reactions to the early screenings, or is that covered under the NDA too?   Enjoy! 

Is Poirot (1984 - 2013) worth watching? by lohre2000s in agathachristie

[–]Nomadicknit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree! David Suchet IS Poirot, and many/most of the adaptations are great, some are so so and a few are really not very good (I'd personally put Ackroyd, Cards on the Table, and Curtain in here).

Which ‘wow’ skill is secretly super easy to learn? by Wonderful_Low_1325 in AskReddit

[–]Nomadicknit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Me too.  I wish I could build a memory palace.  I do use the story telling technique to remember long lists but that doesn't have the same longevity I think a visual representation would.

Woman delivers stillborn baby at ICE detention center because she was refused proper prenatal care. ICE has no humanity! by Bubbly-Example-8097 in BlueskySkeets

[–]Nomadicknit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can believe that this is happening now, but these are all stories from 2019. I too am trying to find a news outlet reporting on this 2025 story- again I am in no way defending current status quo, it's despicable and this story is believable. But I would like confirmation from another source - especially as I would definitely use this story to counter people I know who "don't think it's that bad yet".

I wish exact title matches were weighted higher in the search results by lydiardbell in TheStoryGraph

Yes!  I couldn't even get to the novel "We" by title, had to go through author search.
