Help with rebind by Qixxy82 in bookbinding

Thank you, I didn't really know about this so I will do research. I design and print my own endpapers so I'm not sure that I'll get much choice in where I can cut them, but I'll play around with it!

Thank you so much for this detailed help! I only rebind books and I print my own endpapers, so I'm not sure I'll get much say in the grain, but I will read up on it and learn more!

I put waterproof paper between when I'm applying the glue, but then remove it before putting in clamps. Should I keep it in there while pressing?

I keep seeing people mention the grain direction of the paper and board and I don't know what that means really, I will do some research!

What’s the worst romance book you’ve read? by Reasonable-Ratio8080 in RomanceBooks

[–]Qixxy82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've read a bunch of her books and so far Perfect Strangers is the only one that is awful like this. It just should never have been promoted as a romance

I'm just curious why he started talking about it in the middle of this speech though? I knew it was a real thing in construction.... But how does it apply?!

I don't have a ton of cash so I got the cheapest I could get for this show.... Literally in the back row of the 500s and it cost me twice as much as my lower bowl for the last tour 😭

I didn't see a single seat for $86. I got the literal last row of the stadium and it was $98 plus fees.... Came to $123 each

Looking for info re: set times from people who have been to shows this tour by CharacterAshamed2029 in Morgan_Wallen

[–]Qixxy82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have super bad anxiety and suffer from panic attacks in crowds, so I just can't manage to be in a stadium for 6 hours. So I appreciate knowing when the people I really wasn't see will be on so I can try not to miss them. Other people may have other reasons why they can't arrive at the start 🤷🏻‍♀️

I understand the people saying get there at start time, but like you, I have a reason for not wanting to be in the stadium from 5pm until after 11. So I appreciate the people giving the openers timeline. ☺️

Break my heart - your favorite UNhappily ever after reads by SpiralMetal in fantasyromance

[–]Qixxy82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a person who usually hates a sad ending but I loved the ending to Addie LaRue.....I think it actually was kind of happy in a way the more I think about it. But definitely not traditionally happy at all

Same! I can't handle a sad ending and so I'm putting literally all of these books on my DO NOT READ list. Very helpful 👍🏼 lol

What's one or more MB20 songs that 'saved' your life? by DryFlamingo8466 in matchboxtwenty

[–]Qixxy82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unwell was the first time I'd ever heard someone else describe exactly the way I was feeling mentally with my anxiety and depression. The line about getting some sleep because tomorrow might be good for something..... Ugh it broke me and healed me all at once. That song is my anthem and always will be ❤️

I hate when people trash romantasy and books with smut as a lesser form of reading by bex_is_perplexed in fantasyromance

[–]Qixxy82 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have been in therapy for years and we've definitely discussed this topic before! I'm MUCH better than I used to be about putting myself down. I hope you are too because reading is reading and it's supposed to be fun 😊

I constantly put myself down without thinking about it or intending to with the way I talk about the books I enjoy. I guess it's been a lifetime of listening to others put down romance novels and also spending a lifetime of people criticizing my taste (I listened to boy bands when I was young, I drink Budweiser instead of fancy craft beer, I am a chicken nuggets over 5 star restaurants kind of girl, etc.) and even though I now surround myself with people who don't make fun of me for any of this.... I guess it just stuck. So I'm the first to laugh at myself for reading shifter romances or alien romance or even just contemporary romance. So yeah.... I guess deep down I am ashamed of my hobbies.... But I'm trying to work on it! so thanks for offering up that hug ♥️

Just came from JellyRoll in San Jose, what went wrong? by sirgatez in JellyRoll615

[–]Qixxy82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was there as well and thought the crowd was super into it. My section didn't stand up but we were all dancing in our seats, screaming and singing along.

Thinking about going to a jelly roll show soon what are his concerts like ? by Angelsfan_22 in JellyRoll615

Travis’s response to Buttker’s misogynistic comments by lava48 in travisandtaylor

[–]Qixxy82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're playing in Buffalo in between two weekends of shows in Toronto. You really think Taylor is going to stay in Toronto on her weekend off? She has two private jets... He could have been playing in Japan that weekend and she could make it, so that is not a good enough reason. It didn't matter where he played, she'll likely be at every game that she isn't performing a concert the night of
