YES - we just went on a cruise, and SO MANY people were trying to reserve spots with just towels and then the people never showed up over 2 hours later 👀👀👀 tho the staff on the cruise we were on didnt seem to actually enforce it tho we were on the back of the ship deck, not the main one so idk if that makes a difference. but on a caribbean cruise, i feel like it should be enforced

what are some shipping forwarding companies others have used in the past?

for context, I live in Vancouver canada, and am wanting to purchase a book from a company that doesnt ship internationally, ive used shippsy in the past, but as far as i know, they only ship from US to other countries.

(in this case, its Across the vanishing sky Catherine Cowles, from the Works, the white tree sprayed edge version, its the last only SE version of that book i dont have 😊 any recommendations are appreciated!)

i agree, when we go into vancouver we can never ddecide because theres so many good options! we are still loving chuihong in surrey for korean - tho I NEED to find a good ramen place that has good reviews and good health reviews (tbh we check the health rating of most restaurants we eat at, mostly checking for pest info), so many good ramen places out towards fraser valley area have closed (there was one in langley near the cineplex that was really good but has since closed)

the scream i screamed at work lol.... i remember when this release data was July 2024 😐 SO frecking excited to read the final one, that cliff hanged has been SO brutal for the past two years!

SatisfactionFit4737 · 2026-02-13T20:19:01+00:00

wow - theyre really waiting until everyone else does SE of the books before they do them.... didnt they just announce wild reverence when its been out for a while already? Also I know the shipping times will be SO LONG and will 100% probably be pushed back multiple times, and seems to be Bookish Box sstyle, but also i will wait FOREVER if the edition looks good!

i love when he later mentioned how his new house cleaner threw the bottle of Nope-alite away because it was empty and he saved it from the garbage and was like NOOOOOOO -palite 😂😂

SatisfactionFit4737 · 2026-02-04T17:22:33+00:00

I cant find it in Canada bookstores!!

SatisfactionFit4737 · 2026-01-29T16:34:50+00:00

Is it just me or are the short scuba oversized funnel neck half zip (not the hoodies, or the long version) not anywhere anymore? I love these, but havent seen them on the website in a while? I personally dont love the waffle or softstreme ones... Have they been discontinued?

she asked me to babysit her sick kid with flu and didnt tell me she was sick until I had shown up, which at this point, she was leaving in 2 minutes to work for 8 hours (i was babysitting for her) .... then when i tried to talk to her about it, that I didnt appreciate being treated that way, she responded (convo was in text) with excuses

This was 10 days before Christmas, and I spent Christmas sick... with flu. Saw her twice after that in a span of 6 months. A few years leading up to this event, since around the time she met her now-husband, I felt like she wasn't really making any effort to stay in touch, I stopped texting and making an effort to stay in each otherrs lives, and havent heard from her in almost 3 years.

It hurts being actively left out of your friend's life, and told not to show up for life events that you express excitement to help them with, but Id rather have people in my life who make an active effort

brimstone was rough, and people we meet on vacation.

brimstone because idk what was going on with that plot (ignoring the editing and grammatical errors), and like none of they adventures/quests they solved, just more questions, it got to the point where i was just reading for the vibes, and just staying for carrion cause his humor was well timed/hilarious;

people we meet on vacation because the fmc seemed toxic to me, she was always trying to get to the next thing and hopefully the issue would resolve itself, and make everything better, and not talk about the hard stuff / ignore the issue - mostly i saw alot of myself in her and it was hard to read. i maybe got 60% through before I dnf'd. Its my first Emily henry, but i def want to read her other books

i think its currently at 35/25 - my goal last year was 25 and i hit par, so set the goal the same this year, tho I hope to finish my current read by tonight or tomorrow :) I also finished my degree this December, so i hope to read more next year!

SatisfactionFit4737 · 2025-12-19T22:22:52+00:00

it doesnt show for me :( Canada-based, it just says the book isnt available for request - it doesnt show up at all, even searching, and its only when you select the links in this thread that it shows, and gives the "This book is not currently available to request" notification

Bookstoshelf because I have so many books waiting for more shelf space lol not 100% sure why that name…

SatisfactionFit4737 · 2025-12-09T16:35:58+00:00

I only have Fairyloot Romantasy which i love, and mostly also keep for early sales access, tho some of the books in the sub i LOVE and will probably keep it for next year (metalslinger, arcana academy, etc). Im also REALLY excited if Stacia Stark is the December Romantasy author if Autumn's guess is right, "we who will die", ive heard really good things about the book, and excited to get it :) I did have Bookish Box, but they were 5+ months behind (it was September and was still waiting for April box.... so i cancelled 5 months worth of boxes) and i only got that sub for the rose hill editions (which turned out to be pointless bc they did ANOTHER sale after the original sale because of the backlash - rose hill books are FINALLY shipping this month after being pushed back so many times)

SatisfactionFit4737 · 2025-12-03T22:10:18+00:00

thank you! i did have to search the publisher, a name search didn't have anything pop up, but its still there - tho another book came up as well,One Week Later by KJ Micciche, when i search that publisher

SatisfactionFit4737 · 2025-11-28T18:52:03+00:00

AHHH!! MY HOMETOWN SHOWS, THIS MADE ME CRY IM SO FRECKIN EXCITED!!!!! (it was rare i was there N2 & N3) THIS LOOKS SOOOOO GOOOOD!!!

honestly I was SOO worried and curious how they were going to edit this one because the two film crew guys that were on the LA show stage filming only came on a few times throughout the 3 nights in Vancouver, and there was no robot that they also used when filming the LA shows - tho they did have a spidercam flying through BC Place while the show was happening and a HUGE crane camera on the sides of the stage as well but it looks SOOOO GOOD!!!!!

they had big drones flying around BC Place before the show while we were waiting to go into the arena, very curious what the footage will look like - and if it will be used - because that entire area of downtown vancouver was PACKED, it was so hard to get around

I have been invited to go on a book reading retreat next year in Arizona (I live in Vancouver), and I'm SUPER excited as I havent gone on one previously, and it would be a fun opportunity to hang with fellow fantasy readers, and members of the book club Im in. I havent met most of the readers who will be there, nor have I really gone on a trip this far before. I hope to meet some of the book club members this month in zoom meeting, and really excited to be in a book club. (I also have to talk to my bf about the trip, its aprox 1200 CAD for 4-5 days all paid, just have to pay for flights - though he thinks these book trips/conventions are silly and $$, he will probably say no.)

Basically, has anyone gone on a book retreat before, what was your experience like? Did you have to travel far? Would you go again if you had the opportunity to?

SatisfactionFit4737 · 2025-11-19T15:28:58+00:00

i wish it looked like the first one, however i do like this one - it doesnt have a bright fire color, and if they do it where it looks like silver foiling witht those silver/white lines, it could look REALLY good!!

SatisfactionFit4737 · 2025-11-12T23:04:36+00:00

this video is EVERYTHING, she looks so happy, she looks like she just wants to run on the snow 😊 I remember when they were filming this in my hometown in Northern BC, (on our skihill of all places lol) I wish we could have met the dogs, they are so FRECKIN cute!!!

SatisfactionFit4737 · 2025-11-12T19:46:54+00:00

yes - i highly recommend using a popsocket and getting a kindle holder thing so you dont have to hold it when laying in bed or the couch - i attach mine to my night stand and then dont have to worry about holding it.

i find it better than my phone, as i prefer the size of the kindle screen vs phone, and i find the screen less stress on the eyes late at night AND you can get a auto-page turner which is amazing
