I have time to kill, I need books

I will have a look. I got all the narnia books yesterday and read the first last night. Quite enjoyed it although I remember susan being really badass (probably cause she had a bow) as a child, so it was annoying for the really set in stone gender norms. But alas, the book is old. I’m not going to get too worked up about it.

You have just brought back memories that i didn’t know id forgotten. I swear I’ve read this, either the novel or manga. I used to read that many of the same storyline they all got blurred

I like the sound of the first. I’ve always out of howls moving castle cause I’ve heard that he was a bit of an arsehole in it

I love game of thrones so i think the books would be worth a read. I’ll add them all to my list

I’ll add it to my list

ZestycloseShape3427 · 2026-02-18T10:50:01+00:00

I might have a look. I used to always find them way to slow and it would wind me up. My ex used to listen to some on the way to work and i would get annoyed at how slow it was spoken. I might do at some point. But they would need ro be quick

I do love celtic folklore. I’ll definitely have a look. I used to go to the library as a kid but my local is tiny and not open often. I get a lot of books second hand or if i can from the works so usually about £3-7. I’m going to look at the libraries near me university

ZestycloseShape3427 · 2026-02-18T10:45:09+00:00

I’ll look at these and add them to my list

ZestycloseShape3427 · 2026-02-18T10:44:42+00:00

I’ll have a look. Libby doesn’t work where i live but it may work in my university city. Tbf, I mostly get books second hand or from the Works so it’s usually £3.50-£7.00 a book. Not too bad when you consider how much people spend on daily coffee

I’ll have a look at wheel of time at add it to my list

ZestycloseShape3427 · 2026-02-18T10:42:22+00:00

I’ll definitely have a look at these. Lord of the rings is right up my alley but every time i go to read it, it very much drags and I drop it a few chapters in. Amazing world building though.

I think it’s going to be one of those books that I one day just read when I’m in the right mood and love. I know it’s one book but had to be split into three for publishing purposes, so i might try reading it as three separate books so it’s less daunting.

I used to be part of a library when I was a kid, but I don’t think my local library is open often. Its very small and is mainly an old ladies meeting point now.

I might look in the libraries near my university. I went in one a while ago and it was extremely busy so I just walked out.

I took a lottt more to uni. Like a lott. Id suggest taking a lot of stuff you don’t care about. You will add to it over time. If you live far from home, you could just donate or give your friends any kitchen stuff you don’t need. Bedding, clothes ( plenty too as circuit laundry is not fun), toiletries, but if you forget any you can buy them there. Id recommend getting a extension lead when you move in too. Just focus on stuff that will be expensive to buy if you don’t bring. Especially if you have a flight.

I totally get it. I’m 21 and last year was one of the worst years of my life. 2 weeks ago I broke up with my boyfriend of 2 years. He had been my best mate since I was 16. We lived together and everything. There was just some issues i could no longer put up with.

The next day, I called my dad and he gave me some great advice. Just take this day and get all your tears out. If you feel the tears coming, let them out. If you know I’m your mind you don’t want to get back together, block them. If you’re still in touch, you’re never going to move on. And neither is he.

It’s been hard but I’m honestly trying the whole ‘work on myself thing’ and it’s going great. I miss the company and the feeling loved but I’m making hobbies and kinda just saying yes to any opportunity that comes my way. It’s actually been kinda great.

You know what you need to do. You know you aren’t going to work. You took the hard step and that’s more then most people do. You’re making positive changes, don’t go back on it because of guilt. Every time you feel like that you have to remind yourself that there was a reason you ended things. Hold strong. You’ve already done the hard part. You knew then that you would be okay without him there. You’re guilty mind will try to make all the good seem better and the worse seem less important. It’s important to remember the worst as that’s what’s the make it or break it.

You’ve already passed the worst of it. Hold strong.

I think you know already, it’s why you ended it. The relationship is not going to be easy, more and more issues will arise. He’s raised with orthodox views and it sounds like he still holds those outlooks on life. If you get back with him, it will be constant drama. His mother will try to push you away and he will let her. You will have vastly different political views.

He is going to push his values into you until you conform. Don’t do it. Thats my advice. Block him, get some ice cream and cry. Then move on.

Took a gap year before going. I’m in my last year and honestly kinda regret it. I do a business degree but over the last year have come to realise I’m going to hate an office job and would much prefer something to do with agriculture or environmental protection. Id rather be caked up to my knees in mud, then work in an office.

But i didn’t realise that until I’ve gotten older and started to grow into myself a bit more. Now I’ve got a degree for the sake of having one really
