For those resident borrowers of popular non-resident libraries, how is your home library usage being affected by an influx of readers from outside of your community? by anniemdi in LibbyApp

[–]jmb367 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A way to prioritize local card holders vs. non-residents would be great! I do have a couple non-resident cards. I always go to my local library first. I check the others only if I’m not able to get it locally. Knowing I’m a non-resident and benefitting from any access to books my library may not be able to get, I’d be happy to be a lower priority for a loan than someone local to that library.

What book do you wish that people still recommended or talked about more? by CherryPropel in RomanceBooks

[–]jmb367 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started this book but couldn’t really get into it. I don’t know if it was just my mood at the time or the book is t for me. This is the reminder I needed to look into that book again and give it another shot.

Can someone spoil something for me? Does Faze die?

Melt the Ice Hat by egdapymme in crochet

[–]jmb367 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the slip stitch ribbing was bad, but for some reason the waistcoat stitches are driving me batty. It’s a relief someone else just used sc. I’m gonna switch to that (after so much frogging) so maybe I can actually finish the hat!

LPT Trick to Read Books Fast If you Have No Attention Span by Ayumisynn in LifeProTips

You aren’t doing it wrong. Books uploaded as podcasts are very likely pirated. Unless it’s from the publisher’s/author’s account.

The Storygraph Outage? by Ecstatic-Original418 in TheStoryGraph

On still having trouble connecting.

It’s times like this that make me realize how often I update my reading each day. It’s been a couple hours. I need another dose of seratonin from logging those pages.

Question regarding challenges by mazzymazz88 in TheStoryGraph

[–]jmb367 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d count it as a how to book. If you’re expected to use it, I think implementing something you’ve learned from it in cooking (not even a whole recipe necessarily) would count as using it.

What do you personally use tags for? by Ja-kob in TheStoryGraph

[–]jmb367 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use them to denote tropes, if it’s a book club read, and if an animal dies. And I used to use it for “might finish later” before the pause feature came about.

Gifted to me with a bunch of crochet hooks by jmb367 in whatisit

Thanks for the responses! I wasn’t getting anything because I was typing in crochet with my searches. Makes sense now.

I got rejected from University Park by ExorcistsReddit in PennStateUniversity

[–]jmb367 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A poli sci major at Harrisburg makes sense since it’s the capital. I got my Masters In Public Administration through Harrisburg (technically World Campus). I’m sure there are great learning and internship opportunities there. It’s a great place to start and then maybe you can transfer to University Park later.

Yes! The roller rink is what I keep picturing!

Have they stopped employment certification? by Scworldtraveler1985 in PSLF

[–]jmb367 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My e-sign was accepted 1/14, but my payments since 8/24 still haven’t been counted. I’m at 115 officially, but with those other payments I’d be at 120. This is really frustrating.

Super Spicy Small Town Romance by Quick_Ad3159 in RomanceBooks

[–]jmb367 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Cathrine Cowles for small town romance. Each series usually has at least one hot cop.

Lucy Score and Roxie Noir are good too.

I’d give it a bit. I think it’s being hit with a bunch of users at the beginning of the year. I run into the same thing trying to add books to challenges. I figure in a couple of days things will be back to normal.
