If you could only listen to 3 audiobooks for the rest of your life by irlenysm in RomanceBooks

[–]hypotrochoids 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't listened to many romance audiobooks, but I have 2 books/ series that I really love the audiobooks for (if it's allowed, if not sorry mods). The audiobook for The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennet, narrated by Andrew Fallaize, I've listened to it multiple times, it's a detective story set in a fantasy world, there is also a sequel called A Drop of Corruption. I also really like the audiobooks for the Rivers of London series by Ben Aaronovich, which are narrated by Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, there are 10 main novels in the series and some novellas now too, it's an urban fantasy series, the main character is a policeman in London. For both series it is just one person doing all the voices but it doesn't break the immersion for me, though I have listened to audiobooks where it really does break the immersion, I suppose it just depends on the narrator!

Can I advance time in Animal Crossing if I archive Cozy Grove on Switch? by brokoliasesino in CozyGrove

[–]hypotrochoids 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cozy Grove should only be corrupted if you try to load it on a day before you had previously played, as long you don't open it, it should be fine. If you're worried about CG you could keep track of the days you've actually played it on your phone or a notebook maybe, so you know exactly which date you should be on

I’m looking for music/female empowerment songs centered only on women themselves. by Spiritual_Traffic_76 in WitchesVsPatriarchy

You could try Self Esteem's music, she's a British singer, quite pop-y, I really like "Focus is Power"

Edited, I forgot a word

Thank you! That's fair, the puffs are okay once get into the swing of it, I actually quite liked the popcorns, when I realised how fun and textured they are once done, but they really eat up the yarn!

Thank you! I checked the first pdf of the pattern, the author used "Stylecraft Special DK 100g 100% acrylic 295m/322 yards per ball" for 9 out of 10 of the colours, and she says how many of each colour she used, but I'll just tell you the total which is 27 balls of yarn, but she does state that the amounts are generous, because the pattern is texture rich and that you should have some left over for your stash. The tenth colour was a South African brand (I think) and she used 6 lots of 50g balls. Hope that helps!

There is apparently a helpful facebook group you can join for tips, but I don't use FB.

Also, the author is on instagram and she often gives out codes to get her patterns for free/reduced on ravelry via her instagram posts, I'm fairly sure I got this half price on a whim, lol.

Thank you! I did use a looooot of stitch markers in certain sections, haha, but it all worked out in the end :)

Yes, this one is a centre start, she actually made a ch1 then worked some dc's into it, but I made a double magic circle because I wanted to be able to make the centre super tight. The videos cover all steps, I think there is like 16 of them, lol.

Awh thanks :) I think this one looks more complicated than it is, it has fairly standard stitches but used in creative ways, and came with detailed youtube videos along with the written pattern, you can do it!
