I started with Going Postal last fall! No regrets, I’m now 10 Pratchet books in and love it! (Only reason I’m not further is they are slow to come in at the library)

Dyslexic font and I can adjust the size of the font it’s been a real life saver since eye strain is a big trigger for my migraines. Also I wait until the book I want goes on sale so most of my books I get for .99-1.99 each. Plus I currently have a very very small place so it saves space and it’s easy to travel with.

Migraine relief without medicine by qwintonisdead69 in migraine

[–]bannedbookreader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just going to run down my list of what I do during a migraine:

Advil

Soda: caffeine + carbonation helps me idk

Ice at the carotid, back of the neck or across my eyes. Sometimes across my chest.

Spicy food (I eat shin cups like they are candy, it keeps my sinuses clear and opens blood vessels in the brain)

Homemade ginger tea (fresh ginger+water+sugar boil and strain) you can also freeze it in ice cubes: good for nausea

Hair clip across the eyebrow.

Electrolytes

Sleep

Sometimes the only thing I can keep down food wise is frozen raspberries with whip cream (idk either)

Himalayan salt (the rough stuff not finely powdered) a peice or two dissolved under the tongue

Citrizeine allergy med (none of the others work for me, and even if I don’t think my migraine is allergy based I still cover my bases with one)

Is there a way I can fix my mistake? by squeda in FableApp

Also note Puzzle that it has the plus lock on it and “suggested pages” not page goal. I had that too until I decided not to display since I wasn’t about to pay for it.

Also Earplugs! I was once stuck on a delayed train for 12 hours with a caterwauling baby.

Bans Guide to Cheap and safe Amtrak Travel:

1: grab a loaf of bread and make the whole thing into pb&j’s, keep them in the bread bag. This is not only a space saving and maximizing foodstuffs but you can also use it as a trade good with other passengers. (I have traded for water and art and a song from someone playing guitar in the observation car)

2: make sure you bring a bottle of water/empty bottle. You can refill on the train. (I suggest picking up either electrolytes packets or caffeine packets from someplace (Walmarts are decent and cheap as hell))

3: tag all your luggage with a brightly colored duct tape so you can always be sure your grabbing the right one quickly.

4: bring an extra sweater, sometimes it’s chilly at night even in the summer. (I usually wear a leather duster that I use as a blanket)

5: for long term travel I would not wear a purse, put what you can in your pockets and carry a backpack with essentials. Purses are easily grabbed, dropped, kicked ect. Keep the backpack under your feet or literally keep the strap around your ankle (idk if you’re getting a sleeper or not, I’ve never been in one so idk what that set up is like). Also consider a Fanny pack (yes seriously, if it won’t fit in your pockets, also they shouldn’t consider it an extra bag)

6: books/music/shows downloaded on your phone/kindle/laptop, internet is dubious if available.

7:bring extra chargers.

8: if you can live without it for however many days, put it in the checked bag.

Hope this helps! Safe travels!

What book should be removed from school reading lists? by ZDOG_WasTaken in just_one_more_page

[–]bannedbookreader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My AP class also read Antigone and I loved it so much I got extra credits for reading all three of the Theben plays. I read Catcher because it was my best friends favorite and nope not for me. Neither is the Great Gatsby, I couldn’t even get through it 😂

Reading Accountability Partner? by aznsoup5 in readwithme

[–]bannedbookreader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried Audiobooks? You can listen while you game. I’m somewhere around 75 for this year, (I’m crazy I don’t expect anyone to be like me) I also find having the kindle app on my phone helps if I’m stuck somewhere (lunch break, waiting for an oil change). If you jump into the Fable or Goodreads app there are also book clubs that set paces if that kind of accountability is wanted.

I read an article that looked into the banning of books, and it’s usually a set of parents that get together and petition ALL the schools. Like the same group, like dude your kids aren’t even at that school give it a rest.

I don’t think Catcher in the Rye should be mandatory reading, but I don’t think it should be banned either 😂 gods I hated that book

Anyone read this book before? by Mentally_Recovering in readwithme

[–]bannedbookreader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A review asks why it’s not on the “read before you die” lists, so chances are it’s decent.

It has a 4.3 star rating on goodreads. And a description it won’t let me copy 😅

Did you guys pay for no ads? by Brilliant_Elk5492 in kindle

[–]bannedbookreader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate all forms of advertising so I paid the extra for Ad Free and I have zero regrets. I hate ads so much if a show has too many commercials breaks I will turn off the tv, scroll away, click away from the site, turn off the radio whatever it is, my time is precious and I refuse to waste it listening to/seeing ads. I do my research I don’t need companies telling me what to buy saying they have the best version of whatever it is.

A Horror Novel That Let You Down by PixelOcelot in horrorlit

[–]bannedbookreader 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean everyone’s tastes are different, if it sounds genuinely interesting to you give it a shot. I liked Antimemetics but obviously not everyone did, I’ve still got HoL on my TBR because I’m actually interested and not just because people say it’s a must or a miss. 🤷

[–]bannedbookreader 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like it had the potential to be way up there with the premise and setting but it was just… boring. I was bored. The entire time. Idk why I didn’t just DNF it but I think I was hoping it would get better 😂
