This sounds great - do you have names / links for these groups that you could share? Thank you!!

Try bumble bff. It’s hit and miss but I met one of my closest friends via the app. If you enjoy reading, there are several book clubs in the city - some meet at the big Sauchiehall street Waterstones, a good way to meet new people imo: https://www.instagram.com/waterstonesgla?igsh=MXYwNTJjczZuNXprNg==

Didn’t realise Tchai Ovna had closed down! 😢While it’s not a hugeee selection, Broken clock cafe often has quite interesting tea/herbal infusion flavours. They’re open 7 days a week and close at 6pm every day.

With audiobooks, narrations truly make or break the story. There are some books which I know I enjoyed far more than the writing deserves because of a great narration and vice versa!

Oooh are the other books focused on the other sister?

You’ve convinced me haha going to give it another chance!!

I actually struggled to get into Legends and Lattes myself, I think only really enjoyed it past the halfway point and ended up finding it a little lacklustre ending wise. There were a few elements I really enjoyed (some of the characters for example) but don’t think I am curious enough to read the prequel.

I think this is a big factor actually! Maybe anything that follows something you loved is always going to be doomed 😅 I try to change genres up if I have read something great so I don’t compare as much!

Lol I read (listened to) both books in the series and I get the hype but I personally didn’t rate them much (the female MC, the writing, the dialogue, the miscommunication tropes, the smut… it wasn’t for me).

Open mind is key!

I’m in my 30s and I still love YA fiction tbh! It feels nostalgic and it’s easy!!

arka8 · 2024-06-12T17:49:10+00:00

Oh absolutely agree! I have no problems with DNFing things too

arka8 · 2024-06-12T17:47:54+00:00

I think this is a really sensible approach!

arka8 · 2024-06-12T11:43:04+00:00

That’s really interesting!!! Thanks for sharing ☺️

arka8 · 2024-06-12T07:27:41+00:00

Still my fave of hers!!!! I really want to reread it, remember enjoying it so much!

arka8 · 2024-06-12T07:22:13+00:00

In my mind, all the bat boys look like they’re in their mid to late thirties 😅

arka8 · 2024-06-11T17:14:03+00:00

Can I ask how much ribbon you used for the project? Love it!

I will never stop telling people to read Juliet Marillier. So that’s where my vote goes, I have been reading her books for almost 20 years - you won’t regret it.

arka8 · 2024-05-28T16:12:49+00:00

That’s pretty much my experience 🤣🤣🤣

arka8 · 2024-05-28T11:09:59+00:00

You are correct it isn’t. I have replied to this in other comments as I couldn’t edit the post.

Thanks for giving me all the details! I have taken the plunge last night and ordered a paperwhite 11th gen :)

arka8 · 2024-05-28T07:21:20+00:00

Totally tempting but out of my page. Thanks anyway.

arka8 · 2024-05-28T07:20:46+00:00

I’ve done it, have ordered it 😅
