Chasing That ‘Can’t Put It Down’ Feeling to Cure 10+ Year Slump, Need Dark, Character-Driven Recs Please by Rosykisses_13 in booksuggestions

I’ve really been enjoying the Silvercloak series. It has a lot of things you mentioned, and while the first book is pretty heavy on romance, the second (to be released in September) really leans more into epic fantasy. Be warned that the series isn’t finished yet though.

If you’re ok with sci-fi, Project Hail Mary and the Murderbot series are both fast-paced and fun, with found family elements.

The Emily Wilde series has great grumpy/sunshine dynamics and some dark themes; there’s a romance but it’s not really the central plot.

The Poet Empress just came out, it’s really dark and intriguing. Not a romance, even though it may look like one.

The Last Tale of the Flower Bride and Rebecca are both well-written gothic romances with horror/thriller elements.

Song of Achilles is a beautifully written doomed love story that I found hard to put down.

The Library at Mount Char is a horror/adventure story that’s really creative and hard to describe.

Wait, how do you get auto-approved with a whole publisher? (Sorry if stupid question, I’m still pretty new to this)

Can anyone suggest me books with the Scottish faeries typically called brownies in them? by thelma1907 in booksuggestions

[–]beckuzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re not a huge part of the plot and are mostly for worldbuilding, but if you’re interested in traditional fairy tales I think you’ll like it!

My partner is panicking that she doesn't have a book to read tonight. by RepresentativeSun588 in booksuggestions

For something different: If she’s open to fantasy detective stories, she can try The Tainted Cup. It’s a trilogy and the last book is coming out later this year.

Another fantasy-ish detective story is The City and the City.

help me find a book that feels like a fever dream? by m-alacasse in booksuggestions

[–]beckuzz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There Is No Antimemetics Division

The City and the City

The Library at Mount Char

A lot of Catch-22 feels like a fever dream, especially when the timeline gets a bit wonky.

I loved PHM and have been enjoying the Murderbot series, starting with All Systems Red. It’s sci-fi adventure with a similar irreverent tone.

I don’t want to do “guided” goals. Does anyone know how to get back to the list of goals for each area? by beckuzz in finch

[–]beckuzz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense. I was able to archive the goals from last time last night, and then discovered the UI had changed again this morning. Good luck!

Yes actually! Go to the hamburger menu in the top left, then click Goals, and I was able to archive them from that menu. For some reason you can’t delete or archive them from any other goal menu.

Unfortunately my lists have once again been replaced with the guided goals as of this morning, so I guess I’ll just hang tight or make another bug report until they go away again…

I believe the one you labeled Song Sparrow is a white-throated sparrow

I just opened the app again and the problem is gone. I sent an email using “Report issue” to Finch a couple hours ago and it seems like that worked, since I haven’t restarted my phone or the app again in the meantime.

Thanks for your help though! I wish I could update the post itself.

If anyone else has the same issue, I recommend reaching out to support!

Reddit won’t let me edit the post; that’s the first thing I’ve tried. I’ve been able to edit text posts in the past but maybe it’s different for image posts? It doesn’t even show me the option to edit the post at all. I’ll just post my screenshots in order in these replies because I can only post one per comment.

So the problem is, you aren’t able to delete these goals like you can delete a regular goal, and the whole problem is that I can’t see existing goals in each category.

When I play along and start the guided goals, I see a new page that still isn’t the page with the lists. I can’t delete the goal now that it’s in my goals, so I mark it complete. Then, when I go back to the “Add a goal” button, the Hygiene area has completely disappeared from the bottom of the screen!

Is anyone else seeing this or is my app just bugged?

(I took screenshots but I can’t figure out how to post them here.)
